I spent the day re-reading the old golf training book my friend Doc gave me a while back, it was first written in 1905 and full of swing related stuff.
As I was studying the golf swing of several of the greatest to ever play the game, I noticed that they paid a lot of attention to the basics of the golf swing. The stance, grip, tempo, swing plane etc. Each of the masters worked tirelessly on developing their swing with sound fundamentals... learning the cause and effect of how you hit the ball and where it goes.
When a particular type of shot was called for, again, they made small adjustments. Need a draw? close the stance, strengthen the grip. Need a fade? Open the stance, weaken the grip. The masters of the game were able to make these small adjustments and get the shot they needed to score great.
As I am writing the article, I'm watching the LPGA event the Safewagel

Unicity
vietnam lừa đảoay Classic in North plains Ohio. A player high on the leader board (Michaels) had just come off a bad hole, double bogey on the 17th and stood on the tee at the 18th hole needing to hit a slight draw. As she stood in the tee box I noticed her stance was too square and her hand position on the driver was too neutral setting her up for the push to the right.
She made a nice swing, but she proceeded to push the ball to the right and ended up in the hazard and lost another shot to par in the process.
She didn't follow the fundamentals and make the necessary small adjustments.
Whether you're an LPGA player or playing for dinner and drinks at your local club, knowing the cause and effect of certain positions of your stance, grip and swing plane will make the difference of being in the fairway in position to score or in trouble trying to scramble jut to make bogey.
Once you learn the proper fundamentals of the golf swing, you can take the next step to become a shot making master and make the necessary adjustments to score your best and dominate your foursome.
Here are a couple of tips to get you going:
1. Grip pressure- Be sure to use a lite grip pressure. Many players grip the club too tightly, thus creating tension. Tension is a swing killer!
2. Use a one piece take away- What is a one piece take away anyway? it's a slow rotation of the shoulders to move the club to an inside the line position ready to be taken to the top of the swing. Using a one piece take away will help you with your tempo too.
3. Proper wrist action- Golf is a Wrist game!
If you're not using your wrists properly you will never realize the power of your golf swing. It's the hinging and unhinging of your wrists that generates the Leverage that creates the power in your golf swing. You don't need to swing hard to generate power, just use the Leverage in your golf swing.
Using your wrists properly will help you too hit the golf ball with effortless power and the point your finger accuracy of the pro's. Work on your wrist action to unlock this hidden power and accuracy.
Work on these 3 things and you will play better, score better and keep your wallet in your pocket when the dinner check comes!
