I am aware that traditional teaching focuses on the importance of aspects like holding the club correctly, standing to the ball with good posture and keeping the club in the right swing plane.
But, all of these attributes will count for nothing if you don’t have good movement in your swing.
Many top players have their own grip and their own way of addressing the ball and how often do you see a great player with a less than orthodox swing plane? Jim Furyk, Lee Trevino and Bobby Locke, just to mention 3 from a list of many. All good players move well with superb rhythm and balance.
Positive Impact Golf coaches understand the importance of motion as explained in this quote from Kjell Enhager's excellent book "Quantum Golf"....
Classic fundamentals have their place, and there they are important, but they give an incomplete picture. In the classical frame of mind attention goes to the outer, physical level.
The ball is hard, the club is steel, and so we feel we have to hold the club tightly and swing hard. In Quantum Golf our attention is not actually on the ball. It’s not on any part of the swing or on any particular part of the body.
When you are in a quantum frame of mind your attention shifts to a more complete picture – to the whole of the swing. The parts are included, but they are a secondary consideration. It is the WHOLE swing and the inner rhythm of that whole swing which is important.
We no longer think of the body or the muscles – we put our attention on the inner flow of consciousness.
Another example of this can be found in Ernest Jones' book "Swing The Clubhead"in the forward by Ron Frankel (USPGA member and Director of Teaching at the Frankel Golf Academy in Florida) ...
"Jones realised that motion was essential in the golf swing. He also realised that you couldn't dissect motion and still have motion. Therefore, you couldn't dissect a golf swing and still have a swing."
The modern tendency is to move you progressively from one precise position to the next precise position in a sort of 'joines up dots' type of method.
As Sam Snead once famously said...
"You can have great positions and a lousy swing, and lousy positions and a great swing."
At Positive Impact Golf we know how to promote a better swing movement without falling into the trap of being over-technical.
Positive Impact Golf coaches are expert and knowledgeable in this concept and will show you just how easy it is to progress your game in this direction. Through “La Danse du Golf” you will feel the flow of movement and start to get full enjoyment from your golf. Your confidence will increase and what’s more, it will feel extraordinarily easy and simple.Why wait? Book today!
My new book - "La Danse du Golf" is nearing completion. Please email me to receive information about it's release and content.
