Golf tip
One of the most important
and basic ingredients to a solid golf swing is a still head, no matter what
club you’re swinging. Keeping the head still with
your short game is also a lot easier than when the swing becomes longer
because of the back swing. Think of short tossing a
baseball. It is relatively easy keeping the head still doing this. But during
a long toss, it becomes much more difficult. The same process is evident in
the golf swing. The body becomes more involved. When that happens
the head has a tendency to fly from a center of balance. You can’t have a consistent
golf swing and move the head off of the golf ball. You have to stay focused
on what you are about to do: stroke a golf ball. It is important to keep your
line of sight behind the ball, all the way through impact. If you are right handed, a
good rule of thumb is to move your head slightly to the right immediately
before starting your golf swing. This helps keep the head behind the ball and
promotes less movement of the head and vision during the swing. Many
successful golfers also use this head tilt as a timing mechanism to begin the
golf swing. A common problem is the
slice. If it’s happening to you try a more exaggerated turn of the head
toward the back foot. But remember to lock the head in place before starting
the swing. And, never lose eye contact with the ball. If you’re having a
problem slicing, give this a try. I’ve seen it work many times. Joke
A man walked into the clubhouse and noticed a friend
sitting in a corner wearing a neck brace. He sat down and asked his mate what
happened. "Well, I was playing golf and I hit my ball into the
rough," replied his friend. "Then I met a lady who was looking for
her ball too. Finding mine, I thought I'd give her a hand. There was a cow
nearby and I noticed that every time the cow twitched its tail there was a
flash of white. So I went over to it and lifted its tail and sure enough
there was the ball. I called out to the lady, 'Ma'am,
does this look like yours?' And the bitch hit me in the neck with her
driver!" Check this out
