consistansy

Hi jakeroe,

Golf, unfortunatley is no different to any other task that us mere mortals want to get better at - in order to improve we must practice. There are no short cuts. If at the moment you are only getting a limited amount of time to play at the course then try and put in 10/20 minutes a day of maybe swinging a golf club in the garden. Put a tee peg in the ground and attempt to knock the tee peg clean out, this will help you keep your golfing muscles active. Maybe try and buy a putting mat for indoors to keep your shortgame in check!

Hello JakeRoe

All of us want to be more consistent, unfortunately golf is a game of misses (qouted by Dr. Rotella) A primary reason for your inconsistency in shotmaking, can be that your tempo changes everyday. Without good tempo and rythm you throw your timing off causing all of the shots that you just described. All of this can be causd by incorrect grip pressure. The tighter your muscles the slower your swing and alot of tension is evident in your swing, the looser your muscles, you gain more freedom in your swing, and above all more consistencyWhen gripping the golf club use yourlast three fingers of your left hand and two finger right hand to hold the club, if you use your hands to hold the club you will feel tension in your your forearms and this progresses all the way to the torso, inhibitng a good rythmic swing. Here is something that you can try, take a hold of a golf club then squeeze it as hard as you can rate that at a 10, then hold it as light as you can call that a 1 use about a 4-5 in grip pressure.

Tell me if this helps, Go Low:-)
