We have all heard
four letter words on the golf course before, and most of you would argue that
they do nothing to improve your game.
Well today I would like to submit to you, (2) four-letter words that
will prove to be the secret to your dream-round.
We have all had the
basic instruction from our golfing friends, “keep your head down”, “keep your left arm straight”, and the ever
popular, “just swing easy, and you will hit it a mile”. Please tell your friends to keep the tips
coming , because they eventually lead to a frustration level that lands golfers
on my doorstep and ensures I stay in business for ages! And don’t forget the new shiny training aid
that will most certainly have your laundry hanging on it a month from now. So, what now?
The two words? Listen up!
Path and Face. Whaaa? The way a golf ball flies boils down to the
geometry of how your club strikes the ball.
What is the path your club at it approaches the ball?? What is the position of the clubface at it
impacts the ball? Is it open relative to
the path, closed, or square? Until you
know the answers to these questions, it is impossible to improve. You see, whenever you make any change in your
grip, set-up , or swing, it should be in order to change either the path of
your club or the position of your clubface at impact!
