When playing golf, what is the best way to avoid casting?

power the swing with a turn of your torso. Many golfers who cast try to swing with the hands and arms.\nSomeone mentioned keeping the right elbow (for right handers) tucked close to your ribcage - and turn your upper body, the clubhead will follow. This is difficult to get comfortable with, but it is the correct feel. Have a look at a swing sequence of a PGA player and note how close his elbow is to his side on the downswing.

Practice putting like a mad man... I'm talking several times a week for a couple of hours at a time.  If you can one put or two put everything then becoming a single golfer should be easy.\n\nShort game is important too, but that takes more practice time.  I think you'll see fastest results from developing solid putting skills.

don't knock the 8-ball in until last, unless you're playing straight pool........ keep your eye-level as low as possible, use a smooth stroke.

when chipping...Have most of your weight on your left foot.  Keep your hands ahead of the ball back and through.  Don't break your wrist on the back or forward swing.  If you take the club back a foot...follow through a foot. Think of impact as being crisp.  Choose a club that will get the ball on the green and allow it to roll the rest of the way to the hole.  Most people will do better with a pitching wedge for this type of shot.  But experiment with all clubs to learn the trajectory and feel for each shot.  Practice, practice, and the practice some more.

practice. take lessons. anyone who is giving you any other answer is only giving you advice from their own experience and their swing is different than yours - guaranteed. Like the guy that said go to the gym... i don't go to the gym, i can hit 300 easy. i do have a naturally fast swing speed, but if i used the wrong club, i wouldn't hit as far, so any equipment suggestion would not be that helpful either. if you take lessons, your coach can send you in the right direction. there's no "secret" everyone's looking for a secret that's why golf magazines keep selling. you want to hit farther? maximize club head speed using the shaft and swing speed. easy to say, not so easy to do.

Go to the driving range and practice a lot more. On the range, you could pretending you are practising and accidentally hit the ball. I use to think that the practice swing is better, too, but in fact it is not as you are not committed to it. Cure your real swing is better.

the club face is small and easy to make a mistake with. One common error is trying to come in from an arc and straighten up 2 inches (5 cm) from the ball ... to have a better chance of hitting correctly, straighten up the swing 7 inches (18 cm) before the ball.\n\nThere are a few sites with good info on bettering your golf swing. Areas to make sure are right are the Stance; Grip; Pivoting the sholders; keeping left arm straight; keeping eye on the ball; practice lots. \nMy first tip though is something i haven't seen in many tips, yet helped my game a lot

I'd suggest walking, because it's very easy and relatively low impact.  You could also try some water exercises (like water aerobics with your legs) - just cover up your cast with some plastic and don't dunk your arm into the water.

There is no such thing. No human being can control air pressure. A golfer might try to decrease spin on a certain shot depending on the situation. An example of this would be the need to hit a "knockdown" type shot from 100 yards, where the golfer might normally use a sand wedge, he would use a 9 iron in an attempt to decrease the amount of spin on the shot.

I will look for the distance first , if it is 150 yards from the hole I will use 7 or 8 iron . If the wind is blowing towards me I will use 7 iron , If the wind is blowing towards the green I will use 8 iron . Also, if you are facing a short Par 4 (about 280 yards) you can use driver to hit the ball straight to the hole, but becareful, if your driving technique is not good( always slice) then, I will suggest you to use 3 wood then use a sand wedge to chip the ball to the green and putt for birdie . By the way , if you want to test wheather the wind is blowing towards the hole or towards you , you just need to pick up some grass from the fairway or rough , and see how the grass moves in direction, if the grass goes towards you, it means that the wind is blowing towards you, if the grass goes towards the hole, it means that the wind is blowing to the hole, so try this method and give me 10 marks for the best answer .

1.   Stand with your feet closer together than when you normally swing.  \n  \n2.   Position yourself so that the ball is closer to your back foot.  \n  \n3.   Use a flop wedge, also known as a 60-degree wedge. A sand wedge can be used in an emergency.  \n  \n4.   Swing the club on a steeper plan (more upright).  \n  \n5.   Hit directly underneath the ball before taking a divot. Take a divot that is long and shallow.  \n  \n6.   Follow through normally.

hold your angles in a golf swing?\nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/features/mentalgame/improve_bondaruk032106.cfm\nThere are three checkpoints that deal with your wrist hinge. During your back swing, the top of your swing, and just past impact.

First, make sure your clubs are custom fit for you; correct length, correct flex, correct loft and lie, correct grip size, correct weight, ie., balanced (are they uniform in feel and play), and more important that your set is made up of clubs that fit your game, ie., no 1 or 2 iron in the bag when you should be hitting a 7 or 5 wood. Second, Where on the golf course are you waisting shots? Work on that part of your game, get help from your golf pro if needed.  Third, Play Play Play Practice Practice Practice. As my Dad once told me, your not going to get any better sitting here on your ass.  So get off your ass and go play, make sure your equipment is right and get help when you need it, the rest while fall into place. HAND Have A Nice Day!!!

Make sure you don't use your wrists.  Practice.  Learn the feel and how far to take the club back for different distances.  That takes hours of practice.  \n\nPGA Director of Instruction Rick Martino explains how you can become a confident, more successful putter with some easy drills.\nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/rickmartino/improve_martino011706.cfm\n\nHere are some putting basics \nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/shortgame/improve_beck110904.cfm

shorten your backswing and make a conscious effort to swing through the ball( also called releasing the club)\nGo to the driving range and try this, just focusing on making good solid contact with a good follow through and don't try and kill it. nice easy swings and see how far it goes.

Pony the answer by JT is not really correct. If you start playing your irons out towards your left foot (for a right handed player) I think you'll have a tendency to blade or thin more shots, which is definitely not what you want. \n\nI think ball position might be an issue, but remember you have to hit down on the ball to make it go up! So play all irons up to your 5 irons in the middle of your stance, and then just slightly forward of middle for your 4 and 3 iron. \n\nTo make sure the ball is in the middle of your stance, setup to the ball and then lay a club down parralel to your feet and then lay one perpendicular to the one at your feet bisecting the ball. It should look like a big plus sign, and it should be easier to tell if the ball is in the middle of your stance. \n\nYou can hit balls with this aid, just pull the bisecting club back away from the ball about a foot and then use it as a guide to take your stance. \n\nAlso aim the club that's parrelel to your feet at the target, this will help you aim correctly. \n\nAnd remember....PRACTICE!!! ;)

Everyone can tell you put it back in your stance, put it forward in your stance, move back, move forward.....whatever.\nSlow down your swing and start there.  If you have to make slight adjustments from there then you can.  Main thing is to not swing too hard.  Dont try to kill it.  Making good connection is what you want.  Slowing your swing down will help stop your club from moving too much.  Just try it.
