Golfers Are Desperate For Swing Improvement

Posted on 2009-09-26, 08:52, by golfguy, under Golf.

The goal and dream of every golfer is to play better, whether it be lower golf scores or hitting longer drives. We fanatic golfers think golf 24/7. Just ask our wives. This is an obsessive compulsive disorder, but hey… it could be a lot worse, right? The thrill we get is from a ball that was hit squarely and rockets off the clubface. Golf swing improvement is the goal, no matter what.

We are willing to spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on golf lessons, equipment and training aids. Most of the time, the training aids never come out of their packages; and if they do, they head to the garage after one or two uses. Wow! What a waste of money, eh?

Why is golf so hard to improve at? I don't get it. You hit a little white ball that's not moving. Ugh! It can't be that hard right? Well… it is… as handicaps have not improved in over 20 years! Isn't that amazing? I mean… with all the technology, you'd think we could build our swing into a machine.

What is your approach to improvement? I'll bet it's hitting a ton of balls at the range, and still not seeing any improvement. Isn't that the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a better result? Think about it. If you're doing something and not seeing results, STOP doing it and give something else a try.

It might be something as simple as your grip, posture or stance. In that case, you can see improvement quickly. Most golfers don't need to "roto rooter" their swings to play better. In fact, it's the small details that really matter.

Don't keep hitting a ton of balls if you're not seeing an improved swing. Instead, diagnose your mishit and address it with golf swing drills to overcome it.
