Your Golf Swing using Positive Distraction
Golf is a sport that is very mental and requires
coordination and rhythm. My method of teaching golf is to
concentrate on the rhythm of the swing. I call this
?Positive Distraction?. I teach my students to use a rhythm
count of 1-2-3-4, or whatever they would like to keep the
swing in a fluid motion while hitting a golf ball. All Tour
players spend hours each day to maintain a smooth rhythm
though out their swing. The rhythm count is used for the
Driver as well as the Putter and Irons. The ?Positive
Distraction? allows the golfer to concentrate on their golf
swing and not let the left side of the brain (the analytical
side) confuse their thoughts during their swing.
When teaching a beginner I will usually start with putting
shots, then chip shots and then the full swing. I will also
demonstrate and teach a
?Pre-Shot Routine? that helps with grip, ball position,
posture and distance from the ball. A full swing starts
with a putting stroke, chip shot and then full shot
positioning of the club. I also teach a ?Chin to Chin
Drill" that shows the student how the chin should touch the
top of the shoulder going back, which means to stop the
swing, and then touch the other shoulder on the down stroke
that means to look up. This keeps the golfer from pushing
themselves up on the back swing and keeping the head and
shoulders in position to strike the ball on the down stroke.
Many golfers do many different things on the back swing but
must be in the correct position on the down stroke because
of the 5 laws of physics that are involved in hitting a golf
ball. The release and a full finish are important to ensure
that the weight is transferred from the right side to the
left side to complete the fluid swing. Golfers should make
fluid swings using the ?Positive Distraction? method so that
they do not become ?result oriented? which will keep even
the world?s best golfers from being successful in the game
of golf. When a golfer thinks of a score that they need or
a pay check or trophy, they will almost always double their
scores instead of winning.
Golf is a fun and competitive sport and is one that can be
played for a full life time. I teach people to enjoy golf
and I have fun doing so.
