Golfer, Approach the First Tee!In the traditional sense, the norm for any newbie golfer is to begin their golfing journey by booking lessons with a golf coach or pro. This individual will then work on factors such as, Grip, Stance, Alignment and PostureAll this is done even before you swing a club at a golf ball. Sure, these fundamentals are important as they unlock the key to your consistency. However, they also have one major flaw-no matter how often they are practiced, there is no guarantee that you will even hit a ball on the sweet spot!Throughout my golfing career, which included seven wonderful years spent as a professional golfer, I always found that consistently great ball striking was lacking.
I spent a whopping three decades unpacking, analyzing, and practicing all of the facets of a perfect golf swing. I tinkered and messed around with the sole aim of that elusive continuously perfect strike. After many thousands of hours of practice, it hit me (pun intended). You know what secret eluded me for so many years? What one thing was all-important? Impact!I am now a firm believer that golfers at all levels and standards should be more mindful of this key position called impact. Even if we analyze the plethora of different golf swings on the U.
S. PGA Tour and the European Tour, they are all different, but there is one factor that ties them all together. You guessed it, my friend-impact!It's true that some pro golfers might look like mainstream beasts when it comes to their backswing, but when that beautiful, clear ping resounds through the air, the impact rings through your ears like a bell and causes goosebumps!I, for one, completely understand your frustration and why many clubs are broken.
