 Golf Tip of the Fortnight
General Tip
Here's an extremely general, but nonetheless valuable, tip that applies to learning
any part of the game:
If you have a recurring problem that you are trying to correct
exaggerate in the opposite direction to get results more quickly.
Simple example:
You have a slice. You keep trying to hit it straight; it keeps slicing. Advice: Stop trying
to hit it straight - that is making it slice. Instead try making it hook viciously (that is
the opposite). In your attempt to make it hook it is likely that you will not actually hook it,
but even if you do it's good news because at least you got some different feedback. You will
learn something from exaggerating like this.
More detail: (right-handed player)
A slice is the result of the clubface looking to the right of the path the club is travelling on
at the moment of impact. Q: What is the opposite here? A: A hook, which is the result of the clubface looking
to the left of the path the club is travelling on at the moment of impact. Therefore,
exaggerating in the opposite direction in this case would be trying
to swing more out to the right while making the clubface look more to the left through impact. If you actually accomplish this the result will be a hook. But it's also possible that
your attempt will never succeed and you'll just start hitting it straight.
I work with golfers of all skill levels on all areas of their games (individually or in small groups of friends, family, co-workers, etc.) in my Private Golf Schools.
