Recently I have been looking into the biomechanics of golf swing. I was not keen on looking at it to start with as just the name made me think that it would be very complicated and that I would not be able to understand it. I kept seeing it mentioned and just ignoring everything to do with it. However, I was beginning to feel that there must be something to it, if it is mentioned so much and I really ought to take a look and at least just see whether it is something that I could understand and not just assume that it would be difficult. I started by asking a few people about it but no one that I played with had ever looked into biomechanics of swing before. I then looked on the Internet. There was a lot of information about it, some articles referring to it without explaining what it was really and then other ones with a lot of good detail and interesting information. As I read more I began to realize that some people make it sound very complicated and others do not, it all d epends on who you choose to read and your understanding of the way that they explain things.

I found it very interesting that some people will video tape their swing action and then carefully analyze each body movement. This is a way to really use the biomechanics of golf swing in order to find out how your body is moving and why you are not hitting the ball as well as you want to. It can give you a chance to see yourself moving, which is not possible when you are playing and you can look at how each individual part of your body moves during each part of the swing action. It is really interesting to compare it to the swing action of a professional player as you can begin to work out what it is about your action that is making you not play very well.

This process can be quite technical but if you take it step by step then it should be fairly simple although it may take some time. Especially as once you have looked at the problems with the swing, you then need to work out what to do in order to improve. It is not as simple as saying that you should move slightly differently or lift higher etc. You firstly have to be aware that you need to break your swing habit, which may be one that you have been using for a long time. You may also need to strengthen your muscles as you may not be physically capable of making particular movements or you may find that it becomes tiring and you do not do it accurately as the game goes on.

So if you are put off by looking at biomechanics of golf swing because you think it may be complicated, then push aside that concern and have a go. It will be worth it if you can make considerable improvements in your game.

In looking for online golf tips I always go back to one of my father's sayings, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is." Everywhere you look, there are free golf lessons, online golf tips, and golf instructions of how to swing a golf club. Not only are beginning golfers looking for the "magic bullet" but, they want it for free. Beginning golfers to mid-handicap golfers be the most aware as these players tend to look for any golf instruction information. Better players tend not to do this because they understand that not all information is good information. Before using any free information from the web, take your time. Once online, you need to be very careful with the experience and certifications of the golf instructor. Is it a PGA Golf Professional or someone just writing for their blog about their own experience?

So can you benefit from online golf tips? Where do you find them? First, think about what exactly it is that you would like to have help with. As with any search, the more specific the search the better matches will appear. Proceed to Google or your favorite search engine, and type your thought in the search bar. Obviously, you can then search the results for exactly what you want.

Another saying is you get what you pay for. This saying also screams to be cautious about the word free. Some very good instructors offer free online golf tips or golf lessons on their website. Again, you have to do your research about the author or instructor. Obviously, a Top 100 instructor is going to be giving you good information. If you do not recognize the author, you can go to the PGA.com homepage and search their database of PGA members. The PGA of America even offers a Specialty Certification in Instruction for their members to further educate and separate themselves.

The truth of the matter is if the professional or instruction is trying to get you into positions, I would stay away from it. The most important part of your golf swing is your golf club and the club face. The instruction that you are reading or taking should focus on these aspects. If the shaft is moving in the right direction and the club face is in the proper position it really does not matter if you are standing on your head or not, the ball will be propelled in the proper direction.

Beginning golfers looking for online golf tips or online golf lessons can find some good information as long as they are careful. One good resource is virtualgolfswing.com. This site was developed by PGA Professionals that have taught at such facilities as TPC at Sawgrass, TPC at The Woodlands, The Woodlands Country Club and The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. You can find free online golf tips and golf instruction articles. In addition, virtualgolfswing.com has created a member section that will give you golf instruction that is literally specific to your golf swing.

Beginning golfers and mid-handicappers can find great information online golf tips about the golf swing and short game. Make sure to do your homework about who the information is coming from and use common sense. Remember, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably
