Often called, “the best loved golf teacher in America”, Harvey Penick has mentored and taught literally thousands of amateur and professional golfers. The author of several best selling books on golf, Harvey is known for his sense of humor and passion for the game. This article will feature several of his most fundamentally important golf tips.

* Warm up by practicing without a ball. Use a middle iron to aim at a blade of grass or a twig. Do not begin hitting a ball until you can hit the object you are aiming at consistently. This will help your concentration and ease tension.

* Believe in your “gut” instincts. When selecting a club, the 1st club that comes to mind is generally the club you should select. Trying to “outsmart” yourself will only hurt your confidence.

* While talking during a round, make sure you use positive words and expressions. For example, do not say,”I have to use my sand wedge”, you want to say, “I GET to use my sand wedge.”

* Do not be influenced by what your opponents say. Concentrate on the success of your next shot. Get your golf tips from professionals.

* If you hit an unsuccessful shot, do not immediately try and change things. Only when you are consistently hitting the same variety of bad shots should you make adjustments. Quite often it is your grip that is at fault.

* Many problems get worse when golfers start rushing. Do not address the ball until you are ready. Very often, taking a deep breath will help calm your nerves.

* Your eyes are a critical part of the success of your game. Be sure to see the whole ball, not just a part of it. Make sure that your vision is checked regularly.

* Do not overswing. Many golfers worry about hitting the ball a great distance. Create a belief system that the ball will go a long way if you do not worry about it. Just be concerned with making solid contact.

* Without fail, your left arm should be straight when striking the ball.

* When in doubt, check your grip and stance

Hopefully these tips will help you with your game. Harvey Penick is a great advocate of ENJOYING golf, not just playing the game. And the suggestions in this article are some of his most famous golf tips.
