| So how do you make a proper golf swing? Well, let's | | | | That said, I do not think you should stop working on |
| first ask ourselves how we can define one. Is a | | | | your swing completely, but I believe channeling your |
| proper golf swing one that looks pretty? Or is it one | | | | effort towards learning and understand your golf |
| that produces good results? | | | | swing there lies the real secret. And, of course, |
| This is something you need to ask yourself before | | | | hitting balls and practicing is the only way you will gain |
| you go crazy trying to perfect your swing. Too | | | | that knowledge, but trying to change your swing is |
| many golfers waste their time working on trying to | | | | really just a waste of time. You can however, |
| make a proper golf swing when they should really be | | | | improve your fundamentals and this will ultimately |
| working on getting the ball in the hole quicker. That is | | | | make your swing better and give you a better |
| the only thing in golf that is important, getting the | | | | chance of making good contact with the golf ball, but |
| little white ball in the hole as fast as you can. When | | | | trying to change your swing simply won't work. |
| was the last time you drew a picture on your | | | | That leads me to my definition of a proper golf |
| scorecard? I am willing to bet never. That is why | | | | swing. A proper golf swing is, in my eyes, is one that |
| when a better player makes a bad swing and shanks | | | | repeats over and over with good results. Of course |
| the ball into the woods, he/she doesn't get too | | | | you do not want to repeat something that is |
| angry, they know if they can hit the next shot on | | | | producing bad results, but if you have good |
| the green and one put they can still save par, and a | | | | fundamentals from the start, you will produce more |
| par is a par is a par. And, if they don't make par, the | | | | consistency. See the truth is, most shots are missed |
| worst they will do is two put and get a bogey. | | | | before the player ever even starts their swing. If |
| Keeping the 7's and 8's off the card is key. | | | | your alignment, grip, and posture isn't correct, you will |
| I am a pretty good golfer, about a 2 handicap, but | | | | no doubt be setting yourself up to fail. |
| that wasn't always the case, and I can tell you that | | | | Don't take it from me, look on Tour, there are so |
| the moment I stopped trying to perfect my swing | | | | many swings, so many different ways to get the job |
| that was the moment I started really playing well. | | | | done, but for the most part, one thing they all have |
| The reality is, in order to change your golf swing you | | | | in common is good fundamentals. |
| would have to literally work with a pro everyday for | | | | So my advice to you is to work on your grip, setup |
| 6 months, trust me it is not easy. So, if you can | | | | and posture, get that stuff right and you will get |
| accept that fact and start working on scoring you will | | | | results and making a proper golf swing will no longer |
| indeed find success. | | | | be your goal. |
