Consider Source Of Golf Tips Before Following Advice
By Angus MacLeod

Keep your head down, stay balanced and do not think too much are the golf tips given more often than any other. On any given day, you can find a multitude of people ready and willing to offer other players golf tips to help them improve their score. However, few of those receiving the tips actually ask for them and many of those giving the tips are not qualified to do so.

When a person is handing out golf tips it is better if that person consistently has a lower score than the golfer receiving the tip. While some golfers, while watching their ball sail into the woods may ask what they are doing wrong, it is usually a rhetorical question. Unless you are the course's golf pro or being paid to give lessons, they really are not asking for your opinion.

Many weekend warriors are more than ready to accept constructive criticism, especially those on the golf course to have fun. Those that do not take themselves or their golf game, too seriously. Offering them golf tips to help them stay out of an adjacent field may be appreciated. If you are in a position to offer golf tips concerning equipment such as balls, shoes or tees, no one is sure to get upset but constantly handing out advice to a person not scoring too well, is generally frowned on.

Each Day Can Prompt Different Advice

Every person's golf swing is different and their success at hitting the ball straight and long can vary from day to day. Several golf tips that work today for one person, may not work on another day or for another person. Before you go handling out golf tips, you should think about what is working for you that day, and if your advice is potentially going to create a rift between friends.

Things like keeping your head down and your feet are higher than the ball on the tee may be golf tips that can be accepted. Sometimes when golfers are lining up their shots they become too focused on one thing and ignore others and golf tips can help break that imbalance. However, you should judge the mood of the person to whom you are aiming the advice.

Another thing to remember about golf tips is when you let them slip. Being quiet while a person is addressing the ball is an accepted practice on the golf course and blurting out advice in the middle of their backswing has been known to cause a club to come loose from their grasp, with little control over its direction of travel.
