Teaching Philosophy:
There are a number of areas you
and your coach would be wise to consider as you develop your golf –
-
Your learning styles
-
What you want to achieve with your golf
-
Your concepts about the golf swing and playing golf
-
How to construct a repeatable effective swing motion
-
Physical conditioning for golf
-
Understanding ball flight
-
Equipment that supports and rewards your golf swing
-
Mental and emotional conditioning
-
On course management of yourself and your game
There are three main parts to a
golf swing –
-
Body
assembly and how it move throughout the swing
-
Arms
assembly and how they work in unison with the body
-
The golf club and how it responds in cooperation with 1 and 2
Learning to sequence the three
parts throughout the swing –
-
Body moves first
-
Arms follow the body
-
Club follows the arms
To refine the swing in sequence
there are seven conditions (not positions) you pass through in motion –
-
Stance
-
Take-away
-
Backswing
-
Downswing
-
Impact
-
Follow through
-
Finish
A golden rule to apply throughout your golfing life is always use clubs
that support and reward your swing with great ball flight. Equipment
dramatically influences ball flight; the design of your golf clubs is vital at
every stage of your golf. If you are using ill-suited clubs you will always be
practicing to develop a compensating swing motion and lack the consistency you
seek. Have your clubs fitted by a PGA Golf Professional and continue with
regular club checks as it is possible your clubs need adjusting as your swing
matures.
