Proper Golf Swing
You’ve heard the phrase, “Practice makes perfect.”
That is not true. Practice does not make perfect, it makes automatic. Or does it?
Who wants to make inconsistent, bad golf shots automatic?
If you start with a flawed model, what do you expect to repeat? Or if you learn from someone who does not know the fundamentals. Or the tricks. Or the tips. What will you do when you go golfing?
Why Learning Golf the Wrong Way is Three Times Harder
The problem is that if you learn the wrong way to play golf, it will take three times as much work. What does that mean?
First, you have to unlearn all of the wrong motions. The wrong motions in your golf swing.
The wrong motions are the method that your body learns and creates muscle memory around. In other words, your body creates habits of moving when you swing every different golf club.
If you learn the wrong habits in your grip, your stance, your alignment, your backswing, downswing and follow through, you have to “dissolve” those moves and replace them with the proper motions. So, why not learn the proper swing and fundamentals first?
Second, you have to get rid of the wrong notions. The wrong thinking in your brain. You need to think the correct way about golf. That involves course strategy, thinking confidently, imagining a successful outcome. Then, stepping up to your golf ball and executing the vision in your head.
Third, when you add the wrong motions to the wrong notions – you get the Big Five wrong emotions.
What are the Big Five wrong emotions? Frustration. Anger. Disappointment. Discouragement. Envy of others that shoot better. You don’t want those because you will never win at golf.
When you experience the Big Five wrong emotions, you will want to quit. Or get depressed. Or avoid golfing.
Wrong motions + wrong notions = wrong emotions. That is a formula for disaster.
If you start to develop the wrong Big Five wrong emotions, you need to replace them quickly. What do you replace those emotions with?
Instead, you can have different, positive emotions. Like excitement of hitting a great shot. Confidence to play your own game with anyone. The serenity of being on a beautiful golf course and enjoying your round. Bringing home a score card that you keep and maybe even frame. Recalling the good shots you played in your round of golf.
How to Find the Right Golf Guides, Conveniently
So who do you learn from? Who can you trust to give you the right information? Someone who has experience, like a professional does.
We all learn by example – seeing and then doing. Is this true?
When you saw a golf shot that was struck perfectly – either on TV, during a tournament or playing with a good golfer, did you think that you could do that? Yes, you can create a picture of yourself hitting:
- a long drive down the middle of the fairway
- a short iron that lands on the green and stops near the cup
- a bunker shot where the golf ball settled down for a one-putt
- a long putt that rattles with a “ker-plunk” when the ball falls into the hole.
If someone can show you how to do that, you can learn it.
