GOLF
THE PROCESS OF MAKING A FULL SWING CHANGE WITH VIDEO INSTRUCTION Everyone typically is looking for improvement with their full swing in golf. They either want to make solid contact more consistently, have better direction control with their ball flight, or have the desire to hit the ball farther distances. Whatever it may be there is a necessary process that needs to be followed in order to achieve improvement. I learned this process from my most influential mentor in golf named, Jim McLean. This process involves answering 3 important questions, and these 3 questions will be answered for every golf student that comes to visit me on the backside of the Meadow Driving Range for a lesson this summer. These 3 very important questions are:
1) What are you doing right now?
2) What should you be doing instead?
3) How do you make that change?
These 3 questions are the most important because it lays the foundation of what you will be spending your time on in practice. The first question "What are you doing right now?" is such an important one, because I've had so many students think they know what they are doing, however, when they come to the lesson tee they are doing the opposite of what they think they are doing. Students struggle to realize what they are actually doing right now, which complicates the improvement process because they don't know where to go because they don't truly know where they're coming from. That is why this summer I am bringing an incredibly important tool to the lesson tee with me, and that is the use of VIDEO INSTRUCTION!!! Video allows me to bring the student to my point of view of the lesson and let them see what I'm seeing. By having the student realize where they are right now, it is easier for the student and me to identify what they need to do instead. Once we identify what they need to do instead, we can then identify how to make the change. This summer, if you haven't yet identified that first crucial question in your swing of "what you are doing right now?", I would highly recommend coming to see me for a lesson. Every lesson this summer will involve video analysis and creating a 3 step process to help you reach your golf goals. Take time today to call the golf shop, (928) 525-5250, to book your lesson, or you can schedule a lesson online through Foretees. I'd love to be a part of your journey to better golf this summer. I look forward to seeing you on the lesson tee!!!
