Golf is much more than a sport: it is a perfect combination of technique, strategy and mentality. If you have ever wondered how to achieve more accurate shots or how to improve your swing, you are in the right place. At
Technique: the basis of a good golfer
In golf, technique not only determines the distance of your shots, but also the direction, consistency and confidence in your game.
A small error in grip, stance or alignment can completely change the outcome of the shot. That’s why working on technique is fundamental to enjoyment and progress.
At the driving range of Golf d’Aro, many players dedicate part of their time to analyze and perfect each movement before going out on the course. And a good technique is not only learned, it is trained every day.
Common golfing mistakes
Before improving, it is important to know what to avoid. These are the most common mistakes that prevent progress:
- Incorrect grip: one of the most common faults among beginners. A grip that is too strong or too weak can affect the control of the club.
- Misalignment: if your body is not properly aligned with the target, the stroke will not follow the desired direction.
- Inadequate posture: bending the knees too much or hunching the back generates imbalances.
- Excessive force: many players believe that hitting harder equals hitting better, but the key is in the fluidity of the movement.
- Lack of rhythm: the swing should have a natural sequence between backswing, impact and follow-through.
Tip: videotape yourself as you hit. Watching your own swing on video can help you easily detect and correct mistakes.
Practical tips to improve your golf technique
Once you know your mistakes, it’s time to polish your game. Here are some essential strategies to improve your technique:
- Perfect your grip
There are three main types of grip: interlocking, overlapping and baseball. Try which one gives you the most control and comfort. A balanced grip improves accuracy without forcing movement. - Work on posture and balance
Place your feet shoulder-width apart, distribute your weight evenly and keep your back straight. A stable body is the foundation for a powerful and controlled swing. - Master the tempo of the swing
Golf is not about strength, it’s about rhythm and coordination. Try mentally counting “one” on the way up and “two” on the way down. This simple trick improves consistency. - Aim accurately
Imagine a line between the ball and the target. Align your feet, hips and shoulders parallel to that line. This habit reduces deflections and will help you gain confidence. - Practice short shots
60% of the game is won near the green. Spend time practicing putting, chipping and approach shots. That’s the real key to lowering your handicap.
Train in the right place
Constant practice makes the difference. At Golf d’Aro – Mas Nou we have a driving range with 37 tees (10 covered and 27 uncovered), ideal for perfecting your technique in each stroke.

Training with purpose: how to plan your sessions
Improving requires consistency and planning. Here is a recommended weekly routine:
- Day 1: practice of short strokes (putt, chip, pitch).
- Day 2: swing technique and video analysis.
- Day 3: short course play or Pitch & Putt, ideal for accuracy.
- Day 4: active rest or stretching.
- Day 5: simulation of the real course on the Par 72 course.
Extra tip: use Golf d’Aro’s Pitch & Putt, a 9-hole course ideal for working on control and precision.
The importance of the mind in golf
Technique is not only physical. Golf requires mental control and a positive attitude. Every shot is an opportunity to learn, not a mistake to punish.
Practice concentration by breathing before each swing and visualizing the ideal trajectory of the ball. This simple habit will improve your consistency and confidence.
