How to Stop Swinging Over the Top

WHY YOU SLICE YOUR DRIVES AND PULL SHORT IRONS
You have an over-the-top swing. When you look at the ball, your club is moving from the upper right corner of your vision to your lower left. The only reason your short-iron shots go left and your drives go right is that you’re able to square the clubface with the shorter club.
HOW TO FIX IT
Set up to a ball and imagine a friend behind you grabbing your right pocket. When you’re ready to swing, feel your “friend” yank your right hip away from the ball and behind you. Although it’s not really happening, this kind of hip action puts you in a position that makes it difficult to swing over the top. As you start down, feel a tug again, but this time on your left hip. This will help you approach the ball from the inside — from the lower right corner of your vision — and hit a draw.

Beginner Golfer? a Few Good Tips

Don’t go for the shiniest, most expensive set of golf clubs. As a beginner you will miss a lot of the subtleties of professional golf equipment, so it’s not worth spending thousands of dollars on the latest technology and golf club models. Start with a cheaper set of clubs, maybe even a used one. A good golf set would have a putter, two woods and five irons. The irons are usually the odd numbers, such as 3, 5, 7 and 9 plus a wedge. If you want to experience different club types without actually purchasing them you can always rent a set from the golf course. As in most cases, beginners play their first golf rounds with a more experienced friend – you can also borrow some clubs from them. Getting golf lessons
