Natural Rhythm

[Big Johnny69]

I am now a firm believer in this. I was once told your golf swing should mimic your natural body rhythm. So far this season I have done nothing but struggle, all the while trying to slow my swing down and be in more control. So on Monday, after an awe-inspiring 45 on the front nine, I decide to go back to the way I used to swing....a little quicker backswing than what I have been doing, but swing pretty much as hard/fast as I can on the downswing and VOILA!!! Played the best three holes of the season so far. Shots were flying at the target as opposed to drifting right of target. Ball was on a solid flight, not balloning/fluttering. Will be interested to see if it works next time out.

As long as "next time out" isn't June 2nd & 3rd

I'm sure I will get out a few more times before then.

Well, to test my theory I headed into GT after work today. Thought to myself, what a better way to test my theory than with a muscleback blade...grabbed a Mizzy MP something or other and ripped 8/10 pretty much straight down the middle anywhere from 174-178 yds. The two I missed was one thinned and the other just a slight push, all the while swinging almost as fast/hard as I could on the downswing. Eagerly awaiting my next round on the course.

I couldn't agree more and that's how I approach all my lessons... read my quote below! Cheers.
