A Perfect Golf Swing

View:

Anyone who spends time on the golf course is looking for the best possible golf swing. Some argue that there is no such thing but after witnessing some of the pros at work I would have to differ. The skill required for this game is quite imposing if you really think about it. Nevertheless, the perfect golf swing is attainable.

First of all we have to recognize that golf is a game that is as intellectual as it is physical. My husband describes it as a game of chess that involves gross motor skills. He has spent a lot of hours trying to develop the best possible swing that he can master however I think that his approach is all wrong.

Even though he recognizes the cognitive aspects of the game he seems to forget about them when he hits the golf ball. He also seems to think that the perfect golf swing is a complete myth that has been developed to torture golfers around the world. However, he is looking at the whole thing backwards. So are many other golfers.

Many professionals would agree that there is no such thing as a perfect golf swing. This elusive skill has seemed to develop a personality. Many people seek it to no avail and many decide to write it off as a myth so they can sleep at night. Sound dramatic? Well, it is to an avid golfer.

Part of the appeal of the game is its challenging nature. The combination of physical and mental control is great with the feat of hitting the ball on target. Many people look to the perfect golf swing as a personification of the challenge. It is no longer an action, but a kind of Holy Grail for the golfing community.

It is important to recognize that the perfect golf swing is fundamentally an action. Sometimes thinking too much can actually have an adverse effect on your swing. Perhaps the best way to achieve the perfect golf swing is to quit obsessing over it.

When we think too much we hinder our own progress. Many golfers look at the game as a practice in control but this very quest for control might be what is keeping you from the elusive swing. You may find that part of the art of combining the mind and the body in the golf swing has a lot to do with letting go instead of controlling.

A Perfect Golf Swing

The golf swing of a proficient player is different from the amateur player in that it has the correct swing plane and has a accurate swing tempo. Your golf swing tempo is a natural part of your physical and athletic ability and is a very difficult aspect of the golf swing to teach. Your golf swing plane on the other hand can be changed and corrected to eliminate most common miss hits.

The most difficult problem in learning the correct swing plane and thus playing better golf, is overcoming the bad practices that have been ingrained in your golf swing. Bad golf swing habits are very difficult to overcome in my opinion for one simple reason, and this is only my personal opinion and experience, most golf swing tips focus only on one aspect of the swing to correct your problem.

The golf swing, for many of us, is one of the most complicated movements a person can make. Proper set up at the point of addressing the ball is key to a proper swing plane.

If you're like me, you started playing golf when a friend took you to a driving range. Or maybe your first experience with golf was actually at a golf course. But chances are you started hitting golf balls without any type of proper instruction. You're not alone! Who do you know that hit their first bucket of golf balls with an instructor standing over their shoulder, teaching them how to have the proper set up and swing plane?

As for myself, this is where my improper golf set up and swing plane was first learned. And before I knew it I had a persistent slice that I have spent many years trying to overcome.

Outside of the proper set up, this includes your stance, grip, addressing the ball, back swing and follow through, you're swing will start out wrong and therefore will contact the ball wrong. The key that I have found is getting myself back to the basics. I had to relearn my golf swing from the ground up, this meant laying aside everything I thought I knew and allowing myself to be taught the proper golf set up and swing.
