Golf Technique Should Be Kept Simple
November 20, 2007
If you’re a student of the game like I am, you’ve worked on your golf technique like a madman right? You’ve spent hours and hours reading instruction books for golf, watching videos (dvds), maybe even going to a golf school or two, and hitting hundreds of balls.
No Perfect Golf Swing
If you’re looking for the perfect golf swing technique it doesn’t exist. There is no such thing! Your body is capable of swinging a club a certain way, give or take some technique improvement.
As you get older it will decline, but if you stay fit and flexible, you’ll be able to maintain a proper swing for many years.
Practice Technique Realistically
You can work on your swing technique with the guidance of a good instructor or credible book. But be realistic in your expectations. Golf is a hard game to conquer. I’ve seen hundreds of golfers struggle to get better, even after taking lessons, practicing and playing every week.
Proper golf technique can be attained, but don’t expect to reach a level of proficiency equal to the pros. Not going to happen. If you can see improvement in your game, that’s a huge victory.
