Practice the following movement before actually making a full
golf swing movement :-
Adopt the normal address position, hold the elbows as close
together as is physically possible.
Whilst keeping the elbows held as close together as is physically
possible thus keeping the arms fully extended, use the lower back
muscles to rotate a very compact upper body unit around the central
core of the spine, thus using the rotational movement of the upper
body unit to literally push the arms into a half back swing movement.
As the shoulders get near to the end of the back swing movement,
press down with the left foot and simultaneously rotate/pivot the
hips aggressively towards the target area.
Keep the shoulders and the arms firmly held together as a very
compact unit and simply allow the aggressive hip movement to force
the compact upper body unit to rotate around the central core of
the spine.
However as soon as the shoulder return to the original address
position, stop the shoulders rotating for a milli-second whilst
the muscles of the left shoulder to pull the passive arms through
the contact area thus forcing the right arm to adopt the fully straightened
position.
Therefore try to judge the movement so that the club head makes
contact with the ball at the precise moment the shoulders are square
to the target line.
But remember, during the down swing and the follow through movements
the elbows
must be held as close together as is physically possible and
the head
is firmly positioned so that the left eye is slightly behind the
ball.
This is exactly how the full golf swing is performed so keep
repeating the down swing movement over and over to entrench the
aggressive hip movement into the conscious mind.
Practice on the Range.
You may wonder why you play such good shots at the driving range,
but when you play on the golf course you cannot repeat the good
shots consistently.
Well the main reason is that when you are on the range, you
are totally focused on the mechanical action of the golf swing whilst
the direction that the ball goes is not that important.
Therefore when you play on the golf course, set yourself up
to make a golf swing and put aside any thoughts of where the ball
will go, trust your set up and the mechanical action of the golf
swing that you practised on the golf range and simply perform the
golf swing.
By eliminating any thoughts of where the ball will
go, it will allow you to fully concentrate on simply performing
the mechanical actions of the golf swing.
If you wish to play very good golf, you must fully
concentrate on performing the actual golf swing movement.
