Can you make the change you want

Over recent years the golf industry has been fascinated by the way the body works in the golf swing. The Titleist Performance Institute is at the fore front of this development. A few weeks ago I went away and did an intensive two day seminar at which we learnt how to screen the body and subsequently learn how that can influence the body. My thought today is.... Is your body holding you back from making the swing changes you want to make?

Bringing back the art of Golf

With the aid of modern technology the game of golf is getting more and more involved with the science of golf. Over recent years computer systems have been developed to analyse a golf swing to the nth degree to the extent that we now have biomechanical units to look at the swing in 3D. There has also been a huge change in the equipment we use. I believe, all of this has not helped the average player play better because the ART of golf has been lost, the sensory aspect of the game, the instinctiveness. Of course there is a time and a place to use modern technology, so a balance is essential. I propose you use this tip to bring back the art of your game.
Next time you are on the driving range I recommend that you hit a 9 iron its regular distance, hit about 3 balls. Then proceed to hit 3 balls with each club from your 9 iron to your 5 iron the same distance as your 9 iron. This exercise will help you utilise your senses and get an understanding of the speed at which you swing and how this influences how far the ball will go. I think this is a great exercise for the season as it helps you find your rhythm as well as helping you to understand the difference in flight and roll with each of the clubs.
Next time you are on the driving range give it a go. I wish you all the best in bringing back the art of your game.
