I Think I've Got the Golf Swing!
As the new golf season rolls around you may find yourself saying
the words, "I think I've got it", to yourself. Why? Because for
most of us, the beginning of the season brings us some
surprisingly good rounds of golf. It's funny how you haven't
played golf seriously in about 4-6 months, yet right out of the
gate, you end up playing some of the best golf of the year.
This, of course, leaves you scratching your head because you
remember how last year wasn't so great. So what happened over
the course of the winter that is allowing you to play so well
now?
Maybe your new found skill occurs because you took a break over
the winter months? Maybe it's the new clubs you received for
Christmas? Maybe you read a tip in a golf magazine? Or maybe you
are taking the game less seriously? To be honest with you, it's
a little bit of all of these things. Here's what I mean ...
Taking a Break
When you take a break for a few months over the winter you seem
to forget what you were working on at the end of last year. The
things that were important to you then, aren't so important
anymore. This not only eases your mind but it also allows you to
lighten up a little and stop you worrying about your swing.
Because of this, you may play a little better at the start of
the year.
Excuses ... Excuses
Starting a new season gives you a great excuse if you play
poorly. What is it? Simple ... it's the beginning of the season!
Typically, the beginning of the season allows you to be a little
more care free. This care free attitude allows you to have more
fun and minimize your expectations. If your expectations are low
you may be pleasantly surprised at how well you play.
Golf Tips
How does a golf tip make you play better golf at the beginning
of the year? The obvious reason is that it may actually help to
improve your swing. Secondly, it gets you thinking of 1 swing
thought instead of 10. This concentration on only one thing
allows you to remain focused instead of confused. This kind of
clarity can help you play quite well at the beginning of the
season as well.
New Equipment
When you try a new driver or putter it feels different versus
your old club. Because of this, you're thinking so much about
the new feel of the new club that you forget about your swing.
When you don't think about your swing, you usually hit the ball
quite well. So this too can add to some great rounds at the
beginning of the season.
Summing It All Up
To sum it all up, all of these things I mentioned stop you from
thinking too much about the mechanics of your swing when you go
to play. If you aren't thinking about the mechanics of your
swing, you can think about getting the ball in the hole which is
what you should be always thinking about every time you play,
not just at the beginning of the season. Paul Wilson
