Mario's 9 Tips To A Better Golf Swing
How to take golf lessons and apply it to your golf muscles! Remember if your muscles had brains, golf teachers would not have much work! A golf teacher can only teach you how to practice first, then when you develop the 9 essential fundamentals for the golf swing, you can learn about the short game, putting, pitching, chipping, flop shots and sand game. If you are a total beginner or long time great player (70's shooter), we all need to constantly go over some type of check list. Here are 9 universal full swing concepts we all need:
1. Grip
2. Address
3. Posture
4. Backswing Plane
5. Downswing Plane
6. Weight Shift
7. Balance
8. Finish
9. Overall Tempo
Every PGA Tour pro goes over this list alone or with a swing coach. The golf swing is not natural. Every Tour Pro has a swing coach. Taking lessons will only help if the student keeps notes and practices constructively. My swing coach has been David Leadbetter since 1983. Every other winter I try to get down to Orlando, Fl. and go over those same 9 steps with my coach.
Here's to a great golfing season in 2010!
