Does Having The Correct Golf Swing Mechanics In Place Make It Easier For Strategizing On The Golf Course?
June 28, 2010 by Parshooters · 1 Comment
Have you ever played on a golf course that you knew nothing about? I’m sure you have during one golf round or another. That happened to me yesterday. We were playing on a very difficult tightly laid out golf course. It commanded several different shot variations. It had elevated greens, many combinations of sidehill and downhill lies. All kinds of obstacles to carry or shoot over. You can tell by my descriptions, I didn’t have a very good day playing. I shot at least 10 strokes higher then I should have. Most of my troubles wasn’t knowing the golf course, and yanking my driver out of the golf bag on every hole. (Dumb!)
My focus or golf mindset was to get the ball out there on the fairway far enough to eliminate the pressure on my second shot. This is the wrong way to strategize when trying to play within yourself. You do need a game plan to know when to attack or be conservative when approaching each hole. Golf course management is gained through knowledge of each hole and what to expect. Not knowing the golf course. What I should have done was visualize in a pre-shot routine before addressing the golf ball, the intended target of where to place the golf ball on the fairway. This can be done by standing behind the golf ball and looking for the safest places to hit to. By looking at your scorecard, the layout of the golf course is usually pictured there, or at the hole sign next to the tee block.
Your aiming for the fairway, because landing a golf ball there eliminates the chances of a bad lie, and it gives you the best angle to approach the green. When you reach your drive you need to study your lie for a minute, and analysis what you want to do with your next shot. If you don’t think that you can reach the green with your next shot, it’s often a safer play to lay up. This means playing a controlled shot that’s deliberately aimed short of the green, rather than hitting the golf ball as hard as you can and hoping for the best.

Many golfers don’t realize that almost 50% of your golf scores occurs from your putting. Almost 70% if you include pitching and chipping around the greens. Yet this is the least practiced!
Everyone is focused on having the latest in driver technology. They feel if they can pound their drives around 240 yards or more that everything else will fall into place in shooting par golf. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Your best golfers have that magic around the greens, its what separates themselves from the high handicappers.
Let me ask you, “how is your putting?” If your leaving a lot of putts around the hole, but their not falling in. It means that there is one additional stroke you have to add onto your score. Over 18 holes it can mean the difference between breaking your low score or having a frustrating round.

If you fear making big mistakes in playing golf then your not alone. Tiger Woods and other great superstars who stand to win big paychecks from making or losing on short putts have this same fear as a weekend golfer. Taking the safe route has its own costs and rewards.
I had just made a great third shot to within 2ft of the hole on the 15′th hole, it was a par 5 on my home golf course. I made the no brainer putt to put me two under par for the round. It dawned on me waiting on the 16′th tee that I must be leading the club championship, and I had the greatest opportunity of my lifetime to break 70, which I’ve never done before. It was a realization moment that woke me up out of my dream state that I was in.
How Can You Improve Your Golf Swing With Workout Programs?

Senior golfers of all ages are now into yoga and golf fitness programs. With age comes a decline in both flexibility and strength. When the body declines, the golf swing goes right along with it. The end result is a big loss in yardage, more mishits, and ballooning scores. Your golf mindset also changes in both attitude and frustration. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard from older golfers who I’m playing with, that are just about ready to quit the game. However, there is hope for all golfers who are ready to change and improve your golf swing.
Do you want to discover the secret to creating more power and consistency in your golf swing? By participating in workouts that’s geared towards a specific golf program that focuses on strength and flexibility. You don’t have to accept that with age, your body does decline. No way! The golfers who are working out, are the same ones who are enjoying the game again in later life, and taking all of the money in the birdie pool. It’s amazing to see golfers in this age bracket dramatically improve their driving distance, accuracy and scores.
What is a golf workout? The golf swing is an awkward movement that puts a tremendous amount of stress on the body. To prevent injuries and improve your golf swing speed and distance requires your body to be both strong and flexible. The golf swing is a rotational movement, with your body being in different sequential golf positions. Since the golf swing is primarily an axial rotational movement, wouldn’t it make sense to focus on rotational strength and flexibility? That is improving your turning ability related to range of motion and speed. Therefore, anything involving twisting with resistance such as a medicine ball, a dumbbell, or even a weighted club would work. You need to have a resistance to take your body beyond where it normally goes.
