- There are a lot of tips out there to learn how to golf, so we put together the 5 Best Tips for Beginner Golfers to help you in the right direction.
So you’ve decided to take the plunge and you’re going to learn how to play golf.
Let me be the first to congratulate you on your decision.
Whatever your reason for learning to play, golf is the greatest sport there is. Built on honor, integrity and sportsmanship (embodied by The First Tee); golf is a window into a person’s soul. You can learn a lot about someone just by how they conduct themselves on the golf course. Being outdoors in the fresh air and getting some good cardio exercise also isn’t a bad way to spend 4 hours either. You may also want to keep a psychiatrist on speed dial, too. Golf can be frustrating and drive you to the brink of insanity if you let it, but let’s not get into that right now. The game is magical.
There’s no need to buy a book called “Golf Tips for Beginners” or anything like that, because I’m going to hook you up with some free tips. You’re welcome.
1. THE PROPER GOLF GRIP
Golf is like any sport in the fact it takes practice and repetition to become good. Before you can make a golf swing with a golf club you need to know how to grip it.
The first golf tip for beginners is the most basic and the most important. You can’t swing a club properly with the wrong grip. To start gripping the club, hold it in front of you at eye level with your right hand (assuming you’re right-handed). Now take your left hand and put the pad of your hand on the top of the club and close your fingers around the club. Got that? Great. If you want to do a test to see if you have it right, let your arm fall by your side and push the top of the club down, if the bottom of the club comes up, you’ve done it properly.
Once you have gotten the grip down, let's move into the actual golf swing.
The Golf Takeaway
Your technique on the takeaway can make or break your shot. If you get the club moving away from the ball correctly, you set yourself up for a solid golf swing. However, if you compromise your form on the takeaway into the back swing, you’ll the see consequences in your ball flight. Before you even transition into the downswing, you are in a bad position and have a lot of fixing to do to hit a quality golf shot.

After watching this video a few times and taking notes, I went to the range for just the second time in my life (after a completely miserable and discouraging first-time experience) and implemented these tips. I was absolutely astonished by the results and could not believe the difference after just a few shots. I actually found myself swinging with accuracy and even hit the pin I was aiming for about 80 yards out with my 9 iron! Thank you so much for this video!
Jaryd Lara awesome! 👏 This made our day....thanks for watching, sharing your story and posting.. 👊
Jaryd, a 9 iron? My pitching wedge goes like 160 lol.... I'm just being silly. Awesome stuff! It all just comes to you one day. I LOVE Golf!
@@extrememetaldrummer1 WA
Looking forward to getting on thr range with these tips. Been away from the game for abt 12yrs and the rust is heavy.
9 iron? I hit my 58° wedge 75-80 yards. Rainbow flight pattern and it sticks the green. Keep it up and you'll gain yardage in no time. I grew up on a golf course, so its not really fair.
As a life long baseball player, I have been loading up and swaying back to my back foot. I had no idea you were suppose to have most of you weight on your front foot and rotate your hips. That's a huge tip for me, thank you!
Logan Merrick i had to cut a tennis ball in half and put under heel of my lead foot. That helps to make sure all weight is even on both feet. Not on toes or heels. And that helped me learn to shift my weight and get more power in my down swing.
Same here guy
Dude, same here! Life-long baseball player who could have made it pro. I never realized that swaying and loading to the back foot were detrimental. Constant topping! One day, I just planted my feet, kept my head still, rotated my hips and learned how to distribute weight to the front. Boom! Got it nailed! The game is so much more enjoyable now. Played 9 holes the other day and did not top 1 ball and hit my irons pure and not far from the pin.
It’s rough going from a baseball swing to a golf swing. Played probably 80 games and season with club and trying to change that muscle memory is so difficult. Once I was able to make the adjustment, I could finally compete with my friends and not lose 10 balls a round. The struggle was real but I appreciate the craft more now!
I just tried these tips and played the best round of my life, thanks!
Joe Caswell that is awesome!! 👊👊
Joe Caswell me too
I must admit your style of teaching, content and useful applicable lessons have to be some of the best I have seen! Keep it up sir and I’m sure your going to alter so many peoples score cards for the better!
Andy Powlesland wow!! Thank you for the kind words. We certainly do our best to provide good solid information that can help our fellow golfers. I have to admit it is a team effort on our part with our video crew, content team and leadership. More good stuff to come!! 👊
Thank you thank you thank you for this video. I have recently found your teachings on UA-cam and I must say, you are by far my favorite teacher. I like the way you simplify the basics and get right to the point. I have been golfing for about 20 years and have gotten into some bad habits. Today I will practice these 5 tips and the drill. Wish me luck. 😊.
Great tips! Today is my next golf lesson and i am 100% going to implement these techniques into the swing! Thankyou
Clearly presented and useful tips. Thank you.
I consistently either push out to the right or have a wild slice to the right, I've just finished my 2nd session at the range using your 5 tips with a nice slow tempo and hit the straightest shots I've ever managed. Thank you!
That’s what I’m aiming for...no pun intended. I am getting better but have a tendency to hit to the right like off the toe I guess. I’ve only been playing a year but getting better from the tips Todd gives.
Sounds like your swing path could be out to in
Just starting out golfing again after trying years ago and giving up. This will help me try and slow things down from the tee
Really helpful tutorial also like how you don’t pretend you know everything or that there is only one way multiple times it was stated you were open to hear others ideas on technique and that’s a huge part of being a master at something always being open minded🙏🏼
Kevin Burns you bet! Thank you for watching and taking time to comment...lots of ways to play this game and we can all learn...👊
You hit it right on. I haven't been able to get my hips into it enough to give me the strength I need to get the ball down the fairway. I tried you tip on keeping most of my weight on my left leg and wow, what a difference it made. All were wonderful tips. Thank you.
That weight balance is so key. So easy to move the weight to the back foot and your dead. After battling many of the ills in his video, I can really vouch for the principles here. These principles all help to keep you centered on the ball and improve consistency.
I've taken note and I hope to be able to hit a nice clean shot with these 5 tips. Thank you
Cute
Todd, Great information! I've been struggling with inconsistency my whole life, and you made me realize I'm a slider on the back swing, instead of turning into the right heal. Haven't tried it out on the course yet, but it seems to help me get through the shot a lot better and finish the downswing after the ball instead of ahead of it. Thanks! Can't wait to give this a try.
Our pleasure...we do our best to help the follow golfer...be sure to let us know how it goes!
On the range, particularly with my irons, I am relaxed and hit very few bad shots. When on the course, where it counts, I seem to tense up and hit a lot of bad shots. How best to "carry from the range to the course?"
What a fantastic video...watched it to get tips to help my son-in-law...might help me more!
This is great! I first played 23 years ago twice, and have since joined up with some friends and found I love Golf. I have watched a number of other golf tip videos on UA-cam but something about your teaching sticks with me most. I will be implementing these tips on my next ‘super beginner’ round of golf. Thanks again
Bash 3010 awesome! Thank you for the kind words...what idea was most helpful?
This video helped me, as a beginner, so much! I played much better yesterday. I think I will watch this again today and look forward to the next video!
Marcy Chatham thank you for the post and kind words! It always makes us feel good when we can help our fellow golfers improve...more great content to come! Be sure to subscribe
Lovely video content! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you considered - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (do a google search)? It is an awesome exclusive product for revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my friend finally got excellent results with it.
Good information, thank you. Just starting, I will try the corrections. Thanks again
Excellent thank you . I can use this for sure
Weight into the right heel and not right foot or arch is MAGICAL for my swing. Thanks sooo much. Cheers R
I was the player from the fifth tip. Thank you been trying to figure out why I kept opening the club for quite some time
Justin Horber awesome! Yes there are certain tips that hit home with different golfers...glad that one rang home with you...stay tuned for more great content to come.
I watch this video almost every time I golf. These 5 tips changed my game. Thank you!
Thank you, Sir.
Thanks for the info on taking off. It's been 10 years since I've played competitively, and I cannot remember how to take off from the ball. In short, I've been taking off low and shifting my waist which is very inconsistent. Also, good point on the grip. I believe the grip is one of the most important techniques. If your grip is off, it's hard to feel comfortable with every shot.
If you're reading this in 2019 .. best thing to work on is your grip at first. I can't explain how much this helped me understand the swing. Also, do "full swings". So that you can see the club head with your peripheral vision (left eye for right hand golfers). This will help you start to understand what the club feels like when it hinges in your hands. If you continually focus on practicing this.. I PROMISE... you will become better at golf. I sucked for 4 years until I finally told myself enough is enough. I went and pitched/putted on the practice green for 3-4 hours a day, developing a full swing while maintaining correct power for the shot I was taking. Like a great man once said "It's all in the hips".
Thanks for getting back to me Todd I have watched a couple of your videos I enjoy what I'm seeing and looking forward to improving by following some of your tips . You have an excellent way of putting things over in layman's terms thanks again
This video was such a help for the issues I have struggled with my golf swing.
Watched your video and took the tips to the range. It’s 100% helped me I’m hitting so much better, the balls going straighter and I feel better on the ball. Thanks great clear video and very well explained
J Wilkinson made our day! 👊 Thanks for sharing your story...
Some great tips here, i too am 70 and still trying to improve, so this winter its back to fundamentals and these tips will be the starting point.
Peter...thanks for watching and taking time to comment...good stuff! Hope the suggestions help your game...
thank you,I just subscribed I love how clear you teach.
Thank you! We enjoy sharing what we have learned and also the dialog with our fellow golfers...we shot some great new content today that will be posted next week!
Watched 2 of you Tip videos so far best advice for beginners going around has been a huge help for me Thanks! from Australia
Unboxing EMPEROR thank you! Australia is on my “bucket list” of places to visit...I hear it is a wonderful place. How are the golf courses?
i’ve found that doing the drill off the trail foot is better because it promotes your body to turn more , if you do it on your lead foot you can often promote a swing that becomes all arms
Great video, That explains about the trumb and I really enjoyed the video
Amazing video! Thank you so much for your help!
Lisa Shaull our pleasure! What tip did you find the most helpful?
Hello Todd, (hey Nick), I'm 63, just retired and from California and had this crazy idea that I would to return to this game after 20 years of life/work keeping me off the golf course. Went to the range a few weeks ago for the first time and remembered how frustrating golf was and wondered what the hell was I thinking deciding to play golf again...then I found your videos and your book The Bad Lie, and everything changed for the better at the range and not a frustrated, each visit gets a little better and better. Looking forward to playing my first round this week with more confidence and not discouragement.
Thank you, for your videos and your book...you definitely have taken the "stupid" out of the golf swing for us experienced golfers. I watched one of your videos with you in the real world on a course from tee to green, very informative...any chance of seeing more of that?
Wow, post of the month here! Thank you for the kind words. Nick, myself and the rest of our team are committed to making this game fun and more simple. Far too often the industry has overcomplicated the game, it can be simple yet challenging. Great to see your passion for the game and looking to improve.
Fantastic tips. I am an amateur golfer and used these tips tonight and took 8 strokes off my game. Thabks

My 14 yr old son got a set of golf clubs given to him- we watch the your video several times practiced twice and from the practice drill of standing on lead foot with back foot off to the side I can use my 8 iron and hit the ball straight for about 200 yards- phenomenal

Todd, I have been playing golf for 25 years and I am a 6 handicap. Why? Because I watch this video before I go play to BRING ME BACK TO BASICS every round. It is mastery of the basics that will allow us to play good golf. I go to the range about twice a week and watch this video on my phone before I start while I am stretching. My playing partners think I am obsessed with these basics...as they hand me their money! Thanks. PS. I also use game improvement irons, Because they improved my game!
Post of the week right here Richard! Let them roll their eyes as you are taking their 💵. 💪
Thanks for the tips, after sucking in a tournament, I looked for something simple to get me back on track, watched this and hit 50 practice shots for 5 straight days, the only thing I added was concentrating on the ball and slowing down my backswing so I didn't pull my eyes off the ball my key was making sure I saw the club strike the ball, have a lot more short chips and putts... I am now scoring in the mid 80's and actually made a couple of dollars in a tournament,
great advises! Thanks
Hey I’m a new to the golf game and this video was just what I was looking for and the reason I say this is because I’ve always thought about my weight distribution and grip of the club. Now I’ve been to driving ranges before and tried to work on my swings but because of my baseball history I tend to use my rear foot. Now what I failed to mention was I’m lefty so keep in mind we’re special lol I know but thank you the video I have subscribed and look forward to seeing more for each club thanks again
I just tried these tips with you & working on things in the house as our course doesn't open until May & you explain the basics so well that I feel what you explain & talk about. I can't wait to get out there & try them. Looking forward to using these
Marg Taylor out pleasure! Thanks for watching! More great content to come...stay tuned
Great tips, video beautifully short and to the point, could not have made a better beginner video, thank you for this!
Thanks for the watching and the kind words...hope you subscribed!
Great tips! I went out today and started feeling the weight on my balls of feet, in stance. Realize if I started with my lead foot I would naturally put weight back rather than trying and straining when reaching that “sweet” spot on my back swing. The way you explain it is how I’m going to explain to my other beginner friends. Thanks again
You got it! Appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts. Hope you subscribed! 👊
I love the humility in your videos. Keep up the great work!

This is definitely true and is true and my signal when things aren’t quite right, I caught myself doing this on Sunday and makes a difference, but don’t over compensate because I turned the face a bit too much and while I got more distance, I missed more greens back left but pin high.
Great tips! Thank you! Really improved my game.
Appreciate the post. 👊
I am so frustrated with my golf shots... now today i am going to try what you have shared. Praying it works

I did the 60/40 weight with my left foot for years and I was told that it was wrong in what I was doing as sometimes my hips got too far ahead on the downswing resulting in straight shots going well left! Good to view a lesson which differs from other coaches! Many thanks - I will get back to this set up!
alan carlyon you bet! Thanks for posting and watching...try the 60-40 and be sure let us know how it goes
