I am new to golf and have a quick tempo and a fast swing. My golf teacher ( Im in the midst of taking lessons) has told me to keep my tempo, "it yours," and not try to be something you are not. I find I benefit from slowing down my once too quick backswing but my agressive downswing at a fast rate is fine. The small parts or keys to make it more effective (Turning my L shoulder more and releasing hands at R hip) are what I must work on. Its great to hear someone else state this and then explain why. I have always done things fast and agressively. I cannot emulate Fred Couples and when I try it has less than satisfactory results. Thanks for the explanation.
