The next message in this series will show you a basic step-by- step process of playing any golf swing or putt. I call it "the phases of playing a golf shot". You will learn to focus on a task, change your focus to another task, focus on next task, and so on.

This routine will eliminate feeling you might have of trying to remember 20 or 30 things before you swing golf club.

By following a regular process of playing a golf shot you will soon develop a new subconscious thought so that you can rid yourself of that one wrong thought.

Oh yeah. Before I forget. What is **one wrong thought**? A quick story, first.

A few years ago I witnessed a young woman take some golf lessons from local Pro over a 2 year period. He did a good job at showing her some very good swing skills. But, I saw her continually hitting ball out right and she could not hit ball as far as she was capable. At beginning of third year she came for another lesson. I could see from her hand movements that she was saying something like, "I'm still hitting ball out right!"

She had a lot of good swing mechanics from previous instruction. I watched teacher try to figure which of mechanics was breaking down. The problem was not solved. My experience as a Grade 1 to 9 physical education teacher gave me background of body movements whereby I could see that there was something else besides breakdowns in swing mechanics.

What was happening in that woman's swing which caused her to hit ball slightly to right despite very good swing skills?

Answer: The ball is at point A. The green, flag, and hole are at point B. Logical, subconscious thought tells us that we want to smack ball from point A to point B. This same thought also convinces us to create movements at some stage of our swing which will cause a forward motion of golf club through ball so that it can go from A to B.

But, these forward motions occur at various stages of our swing which cause such a variety of poor results. Forgotten in this thought process is most important part of swing.

And that is ---- APPLY A BLOW TO THE BALL so that it can firstly be put in motion to leave vicinity of point A.

The coming lessons will teach you how to carry out movements which respond to your new focus of making ball move — and move correctly. Prior to these lessons I will have more articles which will prepare you to focus entirely on instructions.

P.S. There are a few "tips" roaming world which leave wrong ideas in minds of new golfers. Some of these blatantly interfere with good body movement. Future articles will show you some of wrong movements used by you or other golfers. You will learn WHY each wrong movement is produced. You will discover why and how to replace these wrong movements with better moves.

P.P.S. You, or someone you know, will be very interested in how body movement faults can cause back injuries. My methods actually brought a man back into golf so he could golf with his grandson. He felt so good about his new swing that he was able to return to golf with his former golf buddies. I hope to do a series of articles about this using help of some people I know who are in physical health field.

P.P.P.S. I will seek your input about what resources and sources you would like to learn about. Fellow subscribers will be able to provide many of these answers. I will not publish them all in this Website but I could compile a lot of them into a free ebook or series of ebooks. Ideas will come for this and other subscriber interests and needs for better and more enjoyable golf experiences.

P.P.P.P.S. There are 2 or 3 lesser faulty thoughts for certain golf situations such as hitting golf ball over a hill or a tree. Future articles will cover these topics.
