Golf Swing Improvements

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 cant 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.

Lets 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 wont ever be able to

make a repeatable golf swing with any power or accuracy. Its a physical impossibility.

You can try-and-try, but it wont 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 disgustknowing 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 cant 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

cant 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 dont hit more balls. You

dont add more swing thoughts to your swing. You dont do drills at the range til your

hands are bleeding. You just improve your core. Thats 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!

Thats 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!

So when you think of playing better golf; take a new approach to your golf swing

improvement.
