WATCH: Golfer retrieves club from a tree and sparks wild celebrations

One of the keys to enjoying golf is to celebrate the small successes just as much as the big ones.

Why not enjoy the fact that you have retrieved your club from a tree, rather than dwell on how it got there?

These golfers seem to be on course for a great time.

How to stop casting the club

If your wrist angles at the top of your golf swing are extended too far, it becomes hard to maintain position while hitting the ball straight, resulting in the cast. At the apex of the backswing, bring the wrist into a flatter or more flexed posture.

The lower body plays an important role in the downswing, ensuring that the club head hits with speed and a square face. Check your grip and tighten it slightly to give your wrists more control and make it simpler to get into the correct position.

Make sure you have a good mental picture of what the club should look like from the top of the backswing to contact. If you are still trying to elevate the ball, stop.

For some golfers, a weak grip makes it difficult to maintain wrist angles throughout the impact position.

You will want to concentrate on two points here.

The first is that your grip is somewhat stronger than usual, shifted to the right for right-handed golfers.

The second need is that your grasp is sufficiently firm. Keeping the club in your hands at the right angle is difficult when the grip pressure is too mild.
