Take Swing Changes to the Course
/If I had a dollar for each time a golfer has said, “I’m great on the range, but I just can’t take it to the course” I’d be a wealthy man! I believe there are multiple reasons for this quandary many find themselves in. Firstly, most golfers don’t know how to practice in order to simulate an on-course environment and secondly it’s because when most golfers work on technical changes they don’t know how to go about assimilating the new moves into a full speed swing. Today we are going to address this important topic: How to take ownership of swing upgrades. Watch…
A few key points:
Use a 7 or an 8 iron
Use an alignment aid
Incorporate multiple rehearsals between each shot (get the FEEL!)
Level 1
Technical, slow , tedious and deliberate
Ball on a tee
Feel the positions
Incorporate pauses in the motion
Lots of rehearsal
Soft, tapping little shots
Level 2
Blend in rhythm
Slow motion without any pauses
Ball on starts a tee and then we get it on the ground
Lots of rehearsal between each shot
Shots will not go very far
Level 3
Start off at about 3/4 speed
Ball on the ground
Slowly build up to 100% speed
Continue to make rehearsals between each shot
Keep in mind that objective of any technical swing work is to upgrade the mechanics while still operating at full, or perhaps even, faster speed. It’s also important to note that this method of practice only addresses the technical side. There is so much more required in order to take it to the course and that’s why I often talk about…
