Top 10 tips to be a better golfer

Looking for the top 10 tips how to be a better golfer? Here are some easy-to-follow tips brought to you by Hidden Valley Golf Course in Victoria, a world-class golf course located just 45 minutes from Melbourne and designed in consultation with Craig Parry.

1. PRACTISE!

It’s true that practise makes perfect, so make time to get out there and practise your swing. And don’t get bogged down in too much theory. The best way to learn is to get out there and swing an actual club until you get a feel for what works and what doesn’t. And what better way to get lots of practise than if you lived right by a magnificent golf course like Hidden Valley. Land for sale in Hidden Valley is a great investment, and will allow you to play golf everyday if you choose!
  1. 2. PLAY ON THE COURSE!

Getting up your practise hours is important, but not just on the driving range. Driving ranges are so wide and open, it’s hard to get an accurate perspective on your shot. Play a round of golf and you’ll be able to tackle a range of challenges, from sloping ground to overhanging trees and sand traps. Hidden Valley Golf Course is an exciting, challenging course with a testing “island” 18th green!
  1. 3. COMPETITION

Nothing beats getting out there and competing in a golf tournament. After all, there are some things you just can’t experience practising on your own, and you need more than an artificial golfing environment to improve your overall golf game.
Why not organise a corporate golf day at Hidden Valley golf course Located just 45 minutes from the Melbourne CBD, Hidden Valley’s Championship 18-hole Par 73 Golf Course is the perfect setting for your event.
  1. 4. MANAGE YOUR GAME

Achieving a good golf score will be helped by good management skill, which is basically a fancy way of saying ‘Keep your cool!’ Making rash decisions or trying to bite off more than you can chew will upset your rhythm and ruin your focus. For example, say your ball lands in a sand trap. Rather then trying to play a shot that both removes the ball, and gets you closer to the hole, is likely to end in disaster. Instead, just focus on getting the ball out of the sand trap. You’re more likely to hit a cleaner, more accurate shot which keeps your ball in play and maintains your rhythm, allowing you to focus on getting that good score.

  1. 5. VISUALISATION

Did you know that you can improve your golf game while sitting back in your favourite armchair? It’s called Visualisation, and it’s a technique that all the pros use to help improve their confidence and their overall score. Just imagine sitting back in your beautiful home in Hidden Valley, overlooking beautiful rolling hills, as you think about the last winning putt you pulled off, or the long drive you made down the green. Just visualising your successful technique for a few minutes a day can help you achieve great results.
  1. 6. GET THE BALL IN THE HOLE!

Making sure you can make putts is about more than getting a good end result. It’s important to finish each practise session with a 15-min putting practise. As well as improving your putting skills, you’ll be ending your training session feeling positive about your technique and ability, rather than stressing that you didn’t clear the 500 yard marker. One of the most relaxing golf courses in Victoria is Hidden Valley Golf Course, nestled among rolling hills and beautiful Tuscan-style homes.

7. IT’S ALL IN THE ATTITUDE

There are many elements you can’t control in golf, but something you should always stay on top of is your attitude. Sure its frustrating when you start off playing a perfect game and by the end you are missing simple putts, but the important thing is to keep a positive attitude and just have fun! For example, when you’ve just missed the hole in the island 18th green on Hidden Valley’s Golf Course, just take the time to appreciate your beautiful location, the stunning design of the course, and you’re guaranteed to have a good time, every time.
  1. 8. JUST LET IT GO

Tension, that is. Tension is responsible for many a bad play. And it can cause all good golf management skills to go out of the window. Unfortunately, there is no one set cure to relieve tension, you just need to do what’s right for you. Visualise doing something relaxing, like lying on a beach in Hawaii, or perhaps you’ll need to hit the driving range and smash out some big hits until the tension subsides. Of course, if you’re lucky enough to be playing at Hidden Valley Golf Course, tension won’t be much of an issue. Simply enjoy a drink at the Hidden Valley Golf Club, or dinner at the Hidden Valley Country Club.
  1. 9. GET INTO THE ZONE

So what’s number nine in our Top 10 tips to be a better golfer? Finding the Zone! In other worlds, try to train your brain to block out all distractions. Forget about where you have to be after the game. Forget about that bird in the tree. Pretend you have no responsibilities, and just try to recall all the great shots you have made in the past. This will give you the calmness and confidence needed to make the shot as best as possible. As a world-class golf course, Hidden Valley has an impeccable design and layout which makes it easy to get into the zone and enjoy a great game.

10. DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT

OK, so now for the last tip in our Top 10 tips how to be a better golfer. While golf courses have improved over time, the amount of technical information on how to be a better golfer has also increased. Those researching golfing techniques can end up with a whole pile of theory and end up trying to focus on so many things as they swing the club, rather then just going with the flow. Before you hit the books, go out and hit the ball. Then hit it again. And again. Chances are you’ll get a feel for what works, and what doesn’t, pretty quickly. And what better place to practise then Hidden Valley Golf Course in Victoria.
