Golfers will do anything they can in hopes to play better golf and hit
LONG ball. Am I right? Are you in this category? If so, I’m quite confident to say you’ve taken a golf lesson or two. Golf lessons can be very effective in getting you back on track, if your swing has gone south. But, not always.How many times have you taken a golf lesson, only to be more frustrated and hitting ball worse than before that golf lesson? Do you know why this happens? It can be many different reasons, such as too many swing thoughts; making drastic changes that require hours at range and hitting thousands of balls; or lastly, your body just can’t effectively move in way it needs to, to make a mechanically correct golf swing.
I’m inclined to say that for majority of golfers, especially older golfer, it’s last reason above. Your body just can’t move way it needs to. The question now is, why?
Why can’t your body do what you know it needs to do to swing club correctly? It can drive you to point of quitting game. But there is hope. There is an approach that will almost 100% of time correct this problem. Do you want to know what it is? It’s addressing your “physical limitations”. That’s what’s keeping you from a great game of golf.
Do you ever get on course and just feel like you can’t make a full backswing? Or, it just feels impossible to maintain your golf posture and “stay in your swing”? No amount of golf lessons or hitting balls will correct this. This is a “physical” issue with your body, and until you work on it, it will never get better. I’ve seen it time and time again. Golfers walking off course in pure disgust. They’ve taken golf lessons, hit balls at range, and even bought latest, greatest titanium drive; and yet still can’t play like they think they are capable of.
Finding out your “physical limitations” is first step to a lifelong better game of golf. Once you find out what’s keeping you from making that perfect swing, you can set up a game plan to improve it. It may be a flexibility issue, or it may be a strength issue. But either way, you’ve got to find out what it is.
