Requirements for a Consistent Golf Swing

Every golfer is searching to develop a consistent golf swing that can make the golf ball go straight and far time after time.  What must be done in order to develop a consistent golf swing?

The most important point is to recognize and embrace that fact that the objective of golf is not to hit the golf ball.  This is the main secret of developing a consistent golf swing.  In order to do this it is important to realize that golf is a mental game.  It takes a strong mental frame of mind to focus on the swing and not focus on trying to hit the golf ball.  It is easy to say but very hard to do.

My High Percentage Golf Learning System is composed of three concepts:

  1. Rhythm – Feel the pause. Feeling the pause is how to develop rhythm as I described in my blog, “How to Feel Rhythm.”   If the pause is not felt there is no rhythm.  No rhythm means an inconsistent swing.
  2. The little fingers – Feel the stretch in the left and right little fingers.  The stretch in the little fingers automatically results in the supination of the left wrist.  This is described in my blog, “How to Use the Fingers.”
  3. Efficient down swing – Feeling the rhythm and the multiplication of power in the Stretch – Snap as described in my blog, “Feel an Efficient Swing.”

None of the High Percentage Golf Learning System concepts talks about hitting the ball.  A commitment to focus on feeling rhythm and feeling the timing of the Stretch – Snap will go a long way to stop thinking about hitting the ball and help develop a consistent and efficient golf swing.
