I've been trying to pay attention to what the pros do and learn from them. I found this article – Learn to Play Golf by watching Golf on TV – that I thought was very helpful. In addition to the points made in that article, I also try to watch how the players use their balance, shift their weight on their feet and rotate around their torso. This is because I just finished reading an excellent book – The Natural Golf Swing by George Knudson. In this book George dispels the notion that we need to concentrate on a million different actions in our swing and focus on our balance and the target, not the swing and the ball. Learn to relax! I have found this advice very helpful and highly recommend the book.
