Golf has been quite the rich man’s game as it has been associated with expensive gears; however, it is also true that it is one of the most relaxing games ever so if you do can afford to have it as a hobby; you should make sure to have golf breaks every now and then.

Golf, however, is stuffed with myths. For beginners, you might have heard a lot of things about golf that are probably not true, covering everything from driving to course management. Those myths are then passed down from father to son, one friend to another, or simply from a bystander. Some of them come in the shape of golf tips on swing technicalities, others in the shape of prudent recommendation on how to do things.  Regrettably, lots of these myths are just purely wrong.

One myth that has been given way too much is the aiming of the target. It may not sound bogus at first since if you think about it, aiming actually makes sense. However, looking into every perspective, you could end up either hurting yourself or hurting your game. The trouble with this falsehood is it can cause people to misalign themselves. Aiming your feet, hips, knees, and shoulders straight at the target, leaving the clubface following a line well right of the target; or aiming to recompense for ball flight errors, like when you aim left to recompense for the ball flight error of a slice, especially for right handed players, can hurt you.

Another myth that most would hear is that the longer the swing, the faster it gets. Keep in mind that whether you have a long or short club, the speed of your swing will always depend on the power you exert and not because your club is long.
