GOLF’S LEARNING CURVE, IT TAKES TIME, IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL AT ONCE

 

what about it?

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED... Learning the golf swing is a lifelong process. The temperature today March 3, 2011 is near 40 degrees so I went outside to hit some golf shots. There is still a lot of snow on my property but I still decided to hit some wedges. The cross country ski season is just about over so golf moves to the forefront as another season s set to begin. It’s about the fourth time I have hit shots off the snow so far this year and something I was working on about three years ago started to click into my mind as an awareness. Not just a passing whim, but a part of my swing that I am now aware of as, well, a consistent and conscious part of my golf swing. I hit a few shots that I would term as pure, and all of a sudden started to repeat the move. It is where my right side moves into the shot at and through impact, a timing sort of thing as to when the right hand, arm, hip and shoulder start to move and continue to move through the shot taking the club head through impact accurately and powerfully. I have been working on this for a long time, and now it seems to have become a normal part of my swing, a part that I understand and that I am able to repeat. It is great fun hitting balls off the snow. You can practice consistent contact for full swings and practice sand like shots at the same time. The point of this information is that your mind, muscles and body digest and incorporate changes when they are ready to incorporate them and when they make sense to you in some sort of synaptual way. You cannot force these things to happen, the changes happen when the time is right. You may not be aware of things at any time when you are practicing, but the changes will take effect when your system is in need of them, and when you are ready to take on the needed information.
