Golf Lessons Tips
Thursday, April 7th, 2011You would figure that taking a golf lesson should be easy. I hate to be blunt, but if you thought that, you’re wrong. Yes, you can show up and take a golf lesson while going through the motions, but that won’t get you very far. As someone who has taken many golf lessons in his life, I have a few golf lessons tips for you. One is to show up early. This will put the golf pro in a good mood from the beginning, but don’t rush him. If there’s a pro shop, do some browsing. When you take the lesson, listen 10x more than you talk. The golf pro doesn’t want to hear about your kid’s band practice or the new love in your life. You will probably have questions, but save them until the end of the lesson. If they’re important, you will remember them.
Starting Your Downswing–the Moment of Truth
Friday, January 29th, 2010The most important split second in the golf swing is the transition from your backswing to the downswing. That’s the moment of truth.
When you hit from the top (rush your downswing), your power and timing are destroyed. You should strive for an ever-so-slight hesitation at the top of your backswing before you begin your downswing. That sounds easy. It isn’t.
Your best method to develop the needed timing during the transition from backswing to downswing is to practice hitting full shots on the driving range. This is a difficult concept to master and it will take a lot of practice and focus to find the rhythm and timing that’s right for you.
Just remember one thing: don’t try and hit it from the top of your backswing.
