Especially now during the credit crunch a lot of people like to relax and unwind with a great game of golf. But there are still a huge amount of people that play golf competitively.

One of the more annoying aspects of competitive golf is when players that think they are better than you try to give you tips. This is most definatley a bad situation to be in as it can put you off your game alot.

The thing that's most annoying about golf tips is that no one person is the same. It is not the same as any other sport such as Football or Rugby, swinging golf clubs needs your own technique, what may work for you probably will not work for someone else. I Simply do not think that the more tips you get in golf the better you become.

The thing about golf is that it's a game of practice makes perfect; you have to find out what works for yourself and not somebody else. There are a few thoughts on improving your game without taking anyone's tips.

1) Try to feel the golf putters or golf club, get your body in a position that will be the most relaxed, not a position that anyone tells you to do. Just think about pulling back the golf club and stricking the ball.
2) Try not to be distracted by the difference in Golf Equipment. I see tons of people that just go out and buy the best golf equipment even though they are terrible at the game because they think it will make them better.

So to finalise things if you want to be good at golf then you should throughly practice your game and avoid peoples advice.
