Golf instruction is critical in understanding the mechanics of the
golf swing. I am a firm believer in golf instruction. However, golf
instruction is not the ONLY component to optimal golf performance.
I believe the BEST combination for maximizing your golf potential is
golf instruction, mental golf AND the physical (fitness) side of golf.
You see, golf is a very demanding and stressful sport on your body.
To stand in a somewhat stationary position, while swinging a 3 foot
long club at over 80 miles an hour, takes a tremendous amount of both
strength and flexibility.
Do you agree?
I mean, how many times have you fallen off balance during your swing?
Be honest. I'll bet more times than you can count.
Why do you think this happens?
Mainly, because you're swinging beyond what your body is physically
capable of, while maintaining adequate stability.
The result is mishits, shorter distance on all clubs and even injury.
What's the answer?
Get your body in shape, to take advantage of your lessons and optimize
your potential. Taking this approach will result in the quickest
transformation of your game. No doubt....
