It's not tough to find a tip to help your golf swing. Open a magazine, switch on the tv set, or surf the internet you will find a free golf swing tip in each of them. Of course there are always your golf golf friends that are never short of a golf swing tip or two when you ask. Slowly but surely the internet is becoming the source of choice for many beginner golfers seeking tips to help improve their golf swing.

The question is: does a free golf swing tip really work or does it just add to a golfer's confusion and frustration? There's no question that some free golf swing tips aren't worth paying attention to. Because not all free tips are created equal some professionals and instructors suggest it's best for golfers to just ignore any free swing tips.

You should evaluate what the free golf swing tip is asking you to do. For instance a tip telling you to swing at the ball with all your strength is seriously incorrect.

The fact is that there are a lot of golfers seen attempting to almost injure the ball, but will often times injure themselves in the process. A second important point is a no free golf swing tip will suggest players twist their wrists in order to increase club head speed. Like the last free golf swing tip mentioned twisting of the wrists is likely to cause injury as well.

In order to generate maximum strength and speed in a swing the golfer must depend on techniques and drills that condition the body to create the power. A good free golf swing tip will show how to increase strength over time, and that it's not all in the arms but rather the pivot in your body.

Stretching and strength building exercises will help you increase the power in your golf swing, and better your game over time. Any free golf swing tip that emphasizes this point is bound to be genuine and may have a positive effect on your golf swing.

One thing that free golf swing tips do, is help the golfer thing more about your swing mechanics rather then just focusing on driving the ball hundreds of yards into the fairway, or dropping it in the cup on the green.

With online golf swing tips it's difficult to know who the person is on the other computer supplying you with the golf swing tips.. Of course there is no better way to determine this then to use your own judgement before you begin to learn a new technique or practice a new drill. Everyone has an opinion on how a proper golf swing should be done, as well as what technique or drill you should be practicing to increase your drive.

You are an expert. You have lots of content - even more than you deliver from the presentation platform or in your consulting engagements. But how do you package that content for the web, without giving away the store?

One of the most effective methods for delivering your content is in small chunks. In a speech you do this with quotes, tips to remember, and short items. In print you write a how-to article with the 5 tips. Or you create a booklet of tips.

Online you do the same thing. You create a series of tips. Tips can be delivered online in a variety of ways. The most obvious is a tip of the week or tip of the day. With this technique you merely change the web page as often as you've promised a new tip. But this can be very time-consuming, especially if you decide that a daily tip is appropriate for your audience.

How do you decide how often to change the tip? Determine how often you want your online visitor to visit your website and publicize new tips for that time frame. So if you want them to come back daily for a new tip, then plan to change it daily.

A trend to watch...increasingly experts are relying on their email newsletters to deliver tips to their audience, rather than trying to encourage people to visit their site regularly. Unless you change a lot of content regularly, there really is no reason for them to visit. You're better off delivering your content *to* the audience rather than waiting for the audience to come to you!

If you want them to visit daily you need to invest in an automatic method for updating your tips. Generally this will be a cgi (common gateway interface - it's a "techie" term you don't need to remember) or a web application that will automatically post a new tip daily. You'll need a technical person to do this one for you, so plan to pay for that expertise to set this up. Once it's set up, you can easily enter the tips and keep them updated.

As an alternative to a daily tip, you could provide a tip that changes each time someone visits the page. This may be more effective if you want to keep someone on your site. And it shows them a lot of content in a short period of time. Again, you'll use a cgi for this. Generally you can use the same one as you did for a daily tip - just set it to change each time the web page is loaded.

Yet another alternative is an animated gif. This is a series of graphics with tips on them. They are put into a simple animation program so that they change from one graphic to the next, as someone is on your page. If you have a graphics animation program, you can do this yourself.

Tips are the most versatile and useful piece of information you can create. Get into the habit of recoding tips each time you think of one and each time you share one with a friend or client. Keep those tips handy!
