Mike,
I can see that you have some very good points and I tend to work on most if not all of those area’s of the game. To me I focus on tempo in my swing because it is critical to my game. I know that if my tempo is on I can be 5 or 6 strokes better than when it is not. I am sure I do not have the perfect swing but I get the best results possible with the swing I have through tempo. My handicap usually swings between 7-12 and if my short game is on it can go lower.

Yeah Jim! Video doesn’t lie does it !! The first time I saw my swing on video I about fell out of my shoes, but it was one of the most valuable things I’ve done to improve my swing. I went from a 16 handicap several years ago to a 6.2 . I have no time to practice and don’t play much, but am very happy with that handicap, and I think getting that video years ago was the kicker!

Awsome post Mike.

One that really hit home for me is #7. I’ve been playing golf for over 15 years and my handicap has been going the wrong direction for the past two years. And on top of that i’ve been loosing distance. Nothing I tried seemed to help.

Then, almost as a joke, I asked a friend to come out to the course with me and video my swing. WOW! What an eye-opener. I knew my swing had problems, but actually seeing it was scary. I felt like I must be watching someone else. I don’t really swing like that! Do I???

Long story short (er), I watched that recording about a hundred times and I picked one thing out that was especially horrible. And I decided to improve that one thing. And two months later I’m hitting the ball 10-20 yards further and my fairways hit are up by about 70% and my GIR is up by 75%. Oh, btw…my handicap has come down three strokes in two months (10 rounds).

So, needles to say the pain and agony of watching my horrible swing on video has paid off.

Now, back to my stretching and resistance training.

Fairways & greens,
Jim

Yes, I work out twice a week right now. I work out more during the winter months as I don’t get to golf. I actually incorporate all 7, but for my golf game, the two that I mentioned are the most important as far as me lowering my scores.
