The fundamentals that when performed incorrectly cause the rest of your game to suffer!
How surprised would you be if I told you most poor golfing shots are a result of the pre-swing?
In other words if you get the pre-swing wrong it can affect the rest of your swing and so perhaps put the local course wildlife in danger and have your scorecard looking like a sudoku puzzle.
Let's have a look at 'getting back to basics' and what I mean by the pre-swing :
1. Your Grip : You can't afford to get the grip wrong, if you do it will cause the ball to visit all the places you'd rather it steer clear from as the club head will not impact the ball at the correct angle square to the ball. A poor grip may also negatively affect your swing and balance because we can tend to compensate for a poor grip by wrongly adjusting our alignment and shoulder turn. For a right handed player, can you not see any of your left hand knuckles as your look down on your grip? Is the tension of your grip too tight or too loose? Are you not holding the club in your fingers but instead in the palm of your hands? Ask yourself these questions.
2. Your Set Up : Your stance to the ball can ruin your golf shots if you get it wrong! An incorrect address will get FedEx delivering to the wrong places! Same for your golf shots. You may be too close to the ball therefore inhibiting your swing, too far from the ball causing you to stretch. You may slouch over the ball too much. You may even dribble over the ball but if your address isn't correct then you may as well dribble over your scorecard. How far do you stand from the ball? Are your feet, shoulders, hips and club face aligned to the target? Is your balance correct- the weight of your body should be more on the balls and middle of your feet rather than your heels. Is your body weight evenly balanced between your left and right feet? Ask yourself these questions.
3. Your Ball Position : Your ball position is so critical to the destiny of your shot! Quite simply if the ball is too far forward in your stance or too far back then not only does that induce a slice or a push but can cause the rest of your swing and your stance to over compensate and therefore go horribly wrong. For a right handed player are you adjusting your ball position correctly in relation to your left heel and distance from your body as you go up or down in club? Ask yourself these questions.
So Folks, if your golf game was rushed to accident emergency, the first thing the golf surgeon would do (besides scrub up) is fix these three basic fundamentals of golf. So these are the first things you need to do.
By just getting these three simple steps correct, you will be scoring much better, enjoying the game much more and the local wildlife will be very pleased!
