Whether you are just beginning to play golf or you have been playing for years, shaving a few strokes off your score and lowering your handicap is always a challenge. If you are like most golfers, you just can’t afford to spend hundreds of dollars a lesson for someone to analyze your swing. Well, one Golf Swing Expert has taken his years of experience and put together a simple method that is guaranteed to help you shave strokes off your score and lower your handicap.

This system has been designed to assist golfers at all levels to improve your golf scores and lower your handicap. You will learn a revolutionary new grip, setup, and alignment technique in a simple format with clear pictures and illustrations.

This Simple Golf Swing system uses the golfers’ spine as the focal point of the swing. As your shoulders rotate on the backswing, the spine operates as an axis. The back-swing is shorter than most swings taught so it will take a little bit to get used to. The results from learning this new swing will improve your distance and accuracy, resulting in fewer strokes and lower scores. Read the rest of this entry

Have you ever considered what the source of your problems might have been when you just finished a poor round of golf?

Many people will be surprised to know that most of their problems stemmed from the way they were holding their clubs.

You probably already know the situation I am about to describe.

You hit a bad shot and then you tell yourself that the next shot has to be better to compensate and the pressure begins to grow.

Along with the increasing pressure is a tendency to grip the clubs too hard.

Tension has a tendency to make us do that.

Along with this tight grip we have on the club goes a corresponding loss of control.

The ball starts flying in all directions, and the tension builds ever more, until you look at your knuckles and they are white from the pressure.

If your clubs had to breathe you would have choked them by now.

I had a playing partner who had a simple list of instructions that he would read when his game started to fall apart and at the top of that list was ‘don’t strangle the clubs’.

It’s simple and we all know about it, but this visual reminder was all that it would take to get his game back on course and ensure that the tension wasn’t there in the rest of his game.

This technique of having written guidelines was so powerful that several other people started using it.

It was like having your own personal golf pro walking with you and giving you the necessary instructions when things started to go wrong.

Those words would allow him to focus on the next shot and release all the tension that would have otherwise crept into his game.

Try carrying your own list of ‘game savers’ around with you next time and don’t hesitate to read them at the first sign your game might be falling apart.

It is an incredibly powerful technique.

The game of Golf is all about balance. You need to have the right balance on your feet, in the movement of your body, in the swing of the clubs and so on.

However, balance goes further than just distributing your weight properly. In order to be effective on the golf course, you need a balanced approach with your mind being in sync with your body.

You hear people talk about playing one shot at a time and that is so true. You need to only consider the shot that you are playing and not let previous shots affect what you are doing. It is easier said than done, but you must stay in the moment. The only thing you can do to correct a mistake made previously, is make the golf swing you are about to take count.

When taking golf lessons you’re taught to distribute your weight equally. Golf instructors also talk about balance in how we swing the golf club. There has to be a rhythm to your swing in order to make good contact with the golf ball.

When starting out, many techniques taught will seem foreign to the beginner. These lessons are all about training the golfer to find balance in their golf swing so the actions are effortless and natural.

Balance should flow through the entire swing in one fluid action. This fluid action should continue even after striking the ball and finish with a balanced follow through.

When you have taken a pure, properly balanced swing, it will feel and seem effortless. This is a natural feeling that will become second nature to you with practice.

Finding the right balance in your mind and body will allow you to start hitting consistently good shots.

Try this the next time you practice your swing…

With your upper body correctly positioned behind the ball, you will find that you are naturally placing more weight on the back of your foot.

Stand balanced on your feet with no more pressure on the front of the foot than the back.

Position yourself behind the ball and gently swing through without making any effort to concentrate on the distribution of the weight on your feet.

You will find that when you allow your golf swing to happen naturally, your golf game will improve. When you take the “hit” out of your golf swing, you will hit the golf ball more consistently, with great accuracy and more distance.
