female golfer tips: ACCELERATE !

if you are a female golfer and you are like me then you are probably guilty of decelerating as you hit the ball. this means you take a really long backswing and then slow down as you are about to contact the ball.

i especially do this when i'm pitching. i'm afraid that i'll hit the ball too far and fly it past the green so i tend to slow down before impact. this creates the opposite effect of leaving the ball too short and sometimes i even land short of the green. albeit safer because i won't get into trouble at the back of the green, especially when you cannot see the danger behind such as going out of bounds.

i tried concentrating on each shot to accelerate through the swing as i impact the ball so wait till my club shaft is about parallel with the ground, then really increase/ maintain speed during and after hitting the ball.

it is effective !

i had good pitch shots and didn't leave as many of them short of the hole. if i went too far it would only be by about 5metres which is a better outcome than having to chip again from off the green.

now, i have to find a way to make sure i keep the clubface square on impact. will update again with more female golf tips !

be strong !
