Golf Tips for the Practice Range and Practice Ground - 5

How many times have you seen golfers when they’re standing on the tee or on the fairway, having a practice swing, and everything looks really good. You stand there watching them swing, they do the right movements, etc because they’ve got the right thoughts in their head. As you stand there you think “not bad, he knows what he’s doing, he can see the movement that he should be doing there”. Then he gets over the ball and is a completely different animal, has a quick thrash at it, loses balance, loses all technique and the ball shoots off at a different angle, nothing like the practice swing! If you’re going to have a practice swing at least try and repeat that swing on the actual shot. If you’re not going to repeat it when you’re hitting the ball, don’t waste your time and energy by having a practice swing, if you’re not going to do anything like it anyway when you hit the golf ball.

When you’re taking a practice swing, remember you’ve got the thoughts in your head of what you want to do and how you want to do it. So you must have the knowledge, or you must have the feel, in your own mind. What you’re trying to do is repeat that, remember that’s a correct movement, don’t try and do something different. Remember, if you can repeat your practice swing, and you do have the knowledge in your head of what you’re supposed to be doing, then this shot will take care of itself. Too many golfers stand there, try to do something completely different and hit the ball. When you do it right on your practice swing it’s because there’s no ball there so you haven’t got that in your mind. Your body freely just makes a golf swing which is correct. When you’re over the ball your thought goes straight to the ball itself. Remember, the ball’s not going to move until you hit it so you may as well do a correct movement and make sure the ball is hit correctly. Too many people are trying to get the thing over and done with as quickly as possible and don’t think about how their leg movements were, their feet , their hips, their shoulders, their turn, their balance, etc.
