A better golf game is achievable by any golfer. It doesn’t
matter what your age is, how good a player you are or how long
you’ve been playing. But the key to a better golf game may not
be what you think.
The ‘standard’ approach to a better golf game is taking lessons;
buying more equipment; and hitting hundreds of golf balls at the
range.
Although, the above approach is not altogether incorrect…there
is one crucial missing element. That element is your BODY! You
swing those fancy clubs; you hit all those balls at the range;
and you physically participate in the aspect of taking lessons.
The common denominator is your body. Do you agree? If you don’t,
I’d like to hear you’re explanation of why not.
If you are following me, and think I’m remotely correct, then
why wouldn’t you work on your body to play a better golf game?
I’m constantly hearing golfers say they’ve taken lessons, bought
new equipment and pounded hundreds of balls but still have not
seen improvement.
That’s the telltale!
That leaves just one thing…YOU.
Don’t get me wrong…I firmly believe you need an understanding of
golf swing technique, and golf equipment can help. But pounding
balls just for the sake of doing it won’t help you play a better
golf game.
Now picture this.
You do a few simple stretches and golf exercises daily and go
out to play. You now realize you can make a bigger backswing
with less tension; you have more clubhead speed enabling you to
hit longer drives; and you are not worn out on the back nine.
Isn’t that worth the minimal investment in your time?
To play a better golf game…you’ve got to take a different
approach than what you are currently doing. One that gets to the
root of the problem. The one that’s causing those mishits and
inconsistencies.
You will be amazed at your outcome if you take this approach.
You will finally play a better golf game.
