1)ALIGNEMENT
2)THE MIND SET
Think about it for a moment, you know how to swing a Golf club properly don't you? You have had Golf lessons,read umpteen Golf magazines read every tip they give, practiced, so in reality you should be able to go round the Golf course pretty well, shouldn't you?
So what goes wrong? How comes you play 1 hole like a champ and the next like a chump?
Well the major fault is "alignment" Imagine you are on the Tee, you line the face of your chosen Golf Club against the Golf ball towards the target, now you set yourself up. You have picked out the place you want your golf ball to land, you check that your left(or right) shoulder, your hips,knees and feet are in line with that target, you take the golf club back and then you complete your golf swing, you follow the ball and Damn!! there it goes either sliced towards the trees and other hazards or Hooks to the hazards on the left. You scratch your head wondering what the heck went wrong.
Well this is where the MIND SET comes in to the equation.
If you are even slightly out with your alignment your brain will compensate for the error.
Think about it for a moment.
You concentrate on the target which is registered in your brain, you line up incorrectly, you start your back swing and your brain computes that you are slightly out so it will send signals to your your hands,arms,hips etc. to make undetected changes to your down swing so that the club face is as square to the ball as on your set up.
Now to do this you golf club comes from the inside or outside in hence the hooks and slices!!!
This my fellow golfer is where the problem lies. A L I G N E M E N T is the key.
Obviously if you are only fractionally out with your alignment it will be quite hard to detect the subtle changes but if you are
miles out that's when you almost fall over at the end of your golf swing.
ALIGNEMENT is the No 1 basis of a good golf shot.
