Have you ever noticed and felt envious of that someone who has a great golf swing? There are quite a few of the Golfaround gals who have just that, a swing that encompasses all of the mechanics required for a sound golf swing, power and leverage. They too were beginners and it is interesting to see how far some have improved over the years. Over twenty years ago we introduced a lesson program that many of us feel helped to build a fluid, well-coordinated swing. Initially we called it Golf in Motion but did change it to Swing Improvement. At that time it was taught by our friend and mentor Tiffany Gordon with help from her team. Here it is 18 years later and we are going to relaunch the lessons, and Tiffany Gordon and Brian Fast have agreed to teach it again, the location will be Blue Devil Golf Club. We loved this program and I am sure you will too.
This is a unique golf training program which focuses on the components of the golf swing and reinforces learning and repeating the mechanics necessary to produce muscle memory and in turn a fluid repeatable, effective golf swing. There is no ball. When you are trying to concentrate on learning the various positions of your body and golf club at address and throughout the swinging motion, the ball only serves as a distraction, it automatically shifts your focus to performing vs learning. When you are making a practice swing, you are learning. When you are hitting a golf shot, you are performing.
There are various drills that can be utilized to reinforce this learning like weight transfer drills and body sequence drills. We always remember the “tray of drinks” motion that Brain taught us, of course that would be something we would remember!!! Many of us try to hit the ball and this is where we get into trouble. We tend to use our arms and not our body to hit the ball. What this program will teach you is to use your body to produce a powerful swing and when the ball gets in the way of that swing you will feel an effortless motion and a ball that flies to where you want it to go. One of the Pros at Buffalo Run had some of our beginners hitting the ball with their eyes closed.. This takes away the visual component that causes us all kinds of swing problems, and will teach you to intuitively swing through the ball. you’ll be amazed how quickly you’ll regain your feel for the club and hitting solid shots.
