A good visualization technique that will help you to improve your swing is the first tip of the day. Here you stand directly behind you golf ball and look straight down where you want the ball to land. By doing this you can see the angle that you need to hit the ball to make this happen.

The most important thing to remember however when playing golf is getting the correct posture before addressing the ball. By keeping your knees bent and your shoulders square you should find it easier to strike the ball perfectly every time.
By remembering most of these handy tips you should see a dramatic improvement in your game.
