Golfing Tips

10:06 pm May 30, 2009

When you initiate your swing, your body starts to uncoil itself & it
releases a surge of built up energy. Beginning with your hips, then
shoulders & ultimately the arms & wrists, the entire movement is
like a whip snapping. (Before making contact, the worst thing that
you can do is allow your hands & forearms to release, or “turn
over.”)

Similar to a shutting door, the clubface quickly moves from an open
position to a closed one as it approaches impact. The releasing
movement is caused by your hands & forearms turning. If you don’t
release, then your clubface may remain open & you may end up
slicing. Yuck.

During the moment of impact, your clubface should point towards
your target line & you should swing right through.

A. Your Grip

To ensure that you release appropriately, pay attention to your grip.
It should be have firm, yet light pressure throughout the entire
swing. Nothing affects a shot more than having too much tension in
the arms & hands.

Next, try to swing with a decent balanced tempo. Too many
beginners swing so hard & fast that they leave the clubface open
when impact occurs.

And finally, for right-handed golfers, try to keep the backside of
your left hand pointed down towards the target line.

B. Making Impact Count

During impact, you should have the feeling that your forearm (right
side right-handed golfers) is turning over your left forearm during
impact.

You can practice this by swinging in slow motion. Simply swing the
club up & through. Pay special attention to the movement that your
forearms make: try to turn the right forearm over the left one.

During impact, totally freeze your body & then check out the
position of your clubface. Since it’s in slow motion, this shouldn’t be
hard to accomplish. It will either be square, open, or closed. Try to
ensure that the clubface is square to your target line….
