Free Golf Tip-Improve Your Golf Game By Walking

While riding in an electric or gas cart is the preferred method for most golfers to get around on the golf course, walking with a pull cart is something you should seriously consider if you want to improve your golf game. Not only is walking the course great exercise but an extra minute of uninterrupted reflection can actually take strokes off your game.

Riding in a golf cart gives a golfer too many options of things to do besides concentrate on improving their golf game. It is very easy to start talking to your golf buddies about everything in the world while riding up to your golf balls. That time may be much better spent if you were to walk to your ball, giving you time to think about how good or bad your last shot was. If it was a good shot, forget about that one and think about the next shot and the best way to get up and down. If it was a bad shot, forget about that too and concentrate on the most sensible way to save the hole.

Many players these days are using the compact and lightweight GPS units. If you have trouble gauging yardage then this is a wonderful tool. Many of the newer models come equipped with yardages for thousands of courses already installed. Knowing how far it is to clear the water or the distance to the fairway bunker can improve your golf scores by a huge amount.

Another option besides a GPS unit is a rangefinder but these can be a little fickle at times. Rangefinders sometimes have a habit of not being able to use the same reference point that you want to use.

A third option when walking the golf course is, sadly, often over looked or just not available to players who like to walk. That option is a caddy. A good caddy knows his or her loop better than any golfer out there and can tell you yardages for every reference object on the course, be it a tree, bush or sprinkler head. He or she also know what parts of the course are under repair. The pro's all use caddies and those caddies are well compensated for the service they provide.

So, hit the links and lower your golf score by getting your head in the game. You may just be amazed at the new level of concentration you have when you walk. Your doctor will love the extra exercise you are doing.
