We often hit poor shots on the golf course when our tempo increases and our swing gets quick. Often this occurs as a result of being concerned about the result of a shot or thinking about too many technical elements to pay any attention to our rhythm and tempo. So how do we make our swing smooth like the pros we watch on TV?
You can start by committing to the points below and you’ll be well on your way to a free-flowing swing:
- Leave your technical thoughts on the practice range (trust that what you’ve worked on will repeat naturally on the course).
- Focus on your breathing to stay relaxed.
- Commit to a routine rather than focus on the result.
- Make a practice swing before each shot where you (a) feel a slight pause at the top (b) start the downswing slowly and (c) hold a balanced finish position.
- Then go ahead and play the shot focusing on your rhythm.
