Master the form

If you do not have a proper form when you swing your golf club at a ball it will often miss the ball all together or send the ball flying in a random direction.

It is recommended to work on your form and swing before you start a game of golf. Pick up a golf club and practice swinging it several times until you are confident with your form. It is also recommended to ask a professional for advice on how to perfect your form and swing.
