Hitting The Ball Around A Tree – A Complete Golf Instruction

When you are playing golf, obstacles are always available from time to time. These obstacles are supposed to be overcome. There are different kinds of obstacles on the course, which you should be able to deal with very easily. Some people struggle to get out of bunkers, others struggle to avoid the water bodies, while for some other players, hitting a really good curveball round a tree is what nightmares area made of.

Hitting a ball around a tree is not as big a challenge as you might think it is. With a little more thought from you, there is a good chance that you will be able to curve the ball around a tree within no time. One of the most important things that you need to realize is that in most case, you already know what needs to be done. You have already learned the basics of playing golf, so most of the things that you should do are already within your domain. You just need to know how to use the set of knowledge you have in the right combination and you will be good to go.

The following are some simple tips that will help you hit the ball around a tree, or as we love to call it, hitting the curveball:

  • Preset your body
  • Alignment of the club at address
  • Manipulating the swing

Preset your body

There are players who simply align their bodies in a particular way to cause the curveball effect. In such a situation, you will need to set your body and feet open, wide left of your target, and then set the face of your club aimed at the target. Having done that, you swing along your body lines. This is to make the face of the club slightly open to your path at the point of impact.

Alignment of the club at address

There are other players who will purposely open the face of the club through the impact. The concept here is to bring forth a fade on the stroke. Other than that, you can also try to roll your arms over for a draw.

Manipulating the swing

Manipulating the face of the club during the swing is perhaps the easiest option you have so far. This is because it enhances the sensitivity of the clubface, allowing you the power to stay in control over the sidespin.
