Whether you're teeing off with a driver, or going for that long chip, accuracy is one of the most important parts of golf. Unfortunately it's not always the easiest thing to be consistent with, but I'm here to give you a few tips to be more accurate, more consistently.
First, if you're going to practice on a driving range, make sure it's real grass. If you practice on the fake grass, things will feel very different when you go play your next 9 holes on real grass. And we're all prone to hit a divot or two now and again. But just a few low swings on the fake grass can put so much pressure on your wrists, you might not be able to practice for much longer. So at the driving range, do your best to find one that has real grass.
I like to play the local par three when I practice. It's short, quick, and very easy to practice new swing styles. If you're trying to practice with your driver, you might consider doing 9 holes instead. But when you finally get out to practice, here are some things you can do to increase your accuracy.
Take a tee and stand behind your ball. Find the flag and line the tee up with the flag, a few inches from your ball. That way when you look down to swing, you will see exactly where you need to aim. Using a tee is great once you get a feel for your placement, but it's not always the easiest way.
Grab another club out of your bag. If you're going to shoot with an 8 iron, take a 9 iron out too and, just like the tee, line it up facing the flag along side your ball. Having a longer, thicker focus will make your aim much easier. Once you line up the club with the flag, take a few practice swings. You will see the grass move under your club from your swing. Make sure that grass movement is parallel with your club, and take your shot.
Put your foot behind your ball, facing the flag. Twist your other leg 90 degrees inside, and line up on your ball. Doing this will give you a pretty good estimate of where you need to be aiming. Even if this isn't totally accurate, take note of where you hit your ball. Then you can re-adjust your stance while still using this method to shoot accurately.
I know these might not be game-alerting tips, but they could be for some golfers, especially beginners. Accuracy was the biggest thing I struggled with in my early days of golfing. I was so inconsistent it hurt. But then I tried the tee-trick and almost over-night I was consistent. From there I learned exactly where I need to line the tea up, and change my shot to not slice. Today, I just step behind my ball and twist 90 degrees. It's fast and you don't need anything extra to make consistent accurate golf shots.
