Piece of advice that changed your game

[pnearn]

If you could offer one piece of advice that changed your game what would it be?

I'll start off by saying the one change that brought the most immediate results was learning to keep the right elbow tucked into the body throughout the swing

probebly stop being ball consious and start thinking target.

Two: returning right elbow to your side to start the downswing and having your hands lead the clubhead through impact, in that order.

Once you're hitting the ball well, TRUST YOUR SWING and stop thinking mechanics.

Re: Piece of advice that changed your game

I don't have a single mechanical thought when I swing. I just... well, swing.

A thousand hours of practice will make you a better golfer than a thousand dollar driver will.

Great thread...........


Learn your yardages and play the game by yardages............no matter what you mind tells you, 'you can get there with'. (thats why you always come up short).........

''First of all, think WHAT YOU WANT EXACTLY TO DO with the ball''



Ball flight: high, mid, low, fade, draw, ...
Where the ball is going to bounce and roll or stop, ...
Visualize the ball flying and landing exactly where you want to...and just do it!

If you fail, maybe you didn't do it strong enough but don't worry, this is golf.

Enjoy the game and don't take it so seriously. Relax. Best piece of advice ever given.

Greg's Right Hand Drill.

Changed how I thought about what my swing should be/look/feel like.

Re: Piece of advice that changed your game

As a relative beginner I would take this as the best piece of advice that changed my swing (instead of game), and guess what pnearn mine is the same as yours! That plus the waiter style of the right hand (I never realised it really literally meant cupping the right wrist that much!). By applying these 2 pointers, I am hitting much better and further, and I don't even need to think about all the other 1001 swing mechanics.

Re: Piece of advice that changed your game

try to keep your elbows the same distance apart throughout the swing.
