One of the keys to success in golf is playing the golf irons consistently. For most beginners this seems like an almost impossible dream, but with the application and practise of some sound principles it becomes achievable for the amateur golfer.
Here are the characteristics of good iron play.
1.Posture. Stand with the feet pointing to the target, the knees flexed, back straight and the weight resting towards the heels.
2.Take the club back using a hand and arm swing, making sure the wrists are fully cocked.
3.Try to keep your body position as still as possible as you swing the club around your body.
4.You must make sure the left side of your body is cleared out of the way before you strike the ball. This will enable you to generate lots of club head speed and power, and as a result you will hit the ball further.
5.Stay down on the shot as you hit through the ball and follow through, keeping your arms straight as you do so. Seeing the ground after the ball has been struck will stop you lifting your head too soon.
6.You have complete control over how much power you use in playing your irons in this way. Many top players play their shots well within their capabilities.
Here are some more tips to develop consistency with your iron shots.
1.Try to develop a sense of rhythm with your clubs. Once you have done this, try to play the irons at the same tempo you have learned on the practise ground. Don't try and rush the shot.
2.Keeping the right knee flexed as you make the back swing will ensure you only turn your hips 45%. You can feel the power building for the shot as you do this.
3.Make notes as to how far you typically hit the ball with each iron club in your bag.
By adopting this methodical approach to iron play you will have taken the first steps to hitting your iron shots consistently well and becoming a better golfer as a result.
