Golf Swing Improvement Secrets To Stop The Insanity
Golf swing improvement can be elusive for most golfers. I have
read many articles and studies on the huge number of golfers
quitting the game every year. They are tired of putting in the
time, buying equipment, taking lessons, and purchasing every
golf training aid on the market only to see no golf swing
improvement.
You can’t fault a frustrated golfer who experiences the above
and quits. Life is too short to spend 5 hours on a golf course
and not enjoy it.
Let’s discuss why this happens!
First off, golf swing improvement should be approached from the
inside-out. That means starting with your body. If your body has
physical restrictions, you won’t ever be able to make a
repeatable golf swing with any power or accuracy. It’s a
physical impossibility.
You can try-and-try, but it won’t happen!
You body dictates your golfing ability. Like in any sport, raw
talent is hard to come by and is only for a small percent of the
athletic community.
Do you feel like you should be a better golfer? How many times
have you walked off the course in disgust…knowing you should
have played much better? This is a common occurrence and one
that can be fixed quickly.
The right approach to golf swing improvement is one that looks
at your current golf swing faults and the ‘physical’ reason
behind it. I see this all the time. A golfer takes a lesson; the
instructor tells the golfer what he needs to do; and the golfer
can’t do it!
What a frustrating situation!
For every swing fault, there is an underlying ‘physical’ reason
why it keeps happening.
Let me give you one of many examples to substantiate the above
statement.
You are a slicer. That means you come “over-the-top” with your
upper body. Do you want to know one of the many reasons why this
happens?
Here goes!
You have poor core strength and flexibility.
If your body cannot initiate the downswing with the lower body,
especially the hips rotating; it is because your core muscles
are sending a message to your brain saying, “we can’t do this,
so figure out another way (compensation) to get me back to the
ball.”
Now the upside to this scenario.
You work on your core rotational strength and flexibility. You
don’t hit more balls. You don’t add more swing thoughts to your
swing. You don’t do drills at the range til your hands are
bleeding. You just improve your core. That’s it!
The result?
You are able to initiate the downswing with your lower body,
create and retain stored energy in your core area, and you not
only stop your slice, but you add 30 yards to your drives!
That’s golf swing improvement the right way!
Again, this is just one example of a golf swing fault; and the
cause and solution to eliminating it forever.
Now golf is fun again!

your golf swing improvement
