That is a ‘Fairness Common Denominator’ that is fairly dealt out to all golfers … you and I punishingly included. Here are several of the participation tender points for us to ponder!
Let us be systematic and disciplined in these discussions. By this I mean being ‘555 Golf Orderly’. Use your ‘Airline Check Listing’ capabilities from Putting to Driving.
1) Think of our ‘5 Set-Ups … Posture (Standing extended and tallish with Hip to Sternum Clearance), Grip (Several varieties but at least explore and begin with the very safe and efficient ‘10 Finger Grip’), Stance (Width and Brace Square with Target Aim or Flare), Ball Location (Forward, Center and Aft) and Alignment (Open, Parallel and Closed). Never leave home or make one single golf procedure without these loyal servants.
2) Establish Upper Body Machine, Extended Lever Triangles especially in the Back & Up Phase. Do NOT Wrist Cock Pick-Up Inside Take-Away. (see ‘PUITA’)
3) Your Target Hand & Lever ‘Controls The Clubface Aim and Bottom Of Swing Arc (BOSA) at all times. (see ‘3 Duties or Tasks’)
4) Learn how to be aware of and avoid Lateral Sway Brace Side and Slide Target Side.
5) Understand ‘Aft Tilt’ … slight ‘Weight Loading to the Brace Side’. Avoid Stack & Tilt to the Target Side! This method can invite ‘Execution Errors’.
6) Understand what a ‘Complete Back & Up Swing’ is for YOU! More importantly, do not Over-Swing … Past Parallel or across and below the Line. Abbreviated golf is safe golf! It is very useful to say your “& WORD” at TOB. (see ‘Timing, Tempo and Rhythm’)
Continuing down this ‘Systematic and Disciplined Trail’, focus on the ‘5 Essential Elements’ … Clubface Aim, Clubhead Path, Clubhead Speed, Sweet Spot and Angle Of Attack. You know these faithful ‘555 Round Table Servants. Ponder them right now for a few moments!
If you have lack of ‘Clubface Aim Control through the ‘Impact & Separation Zone or Segment’ you are ‘Ball & Stick Toast’! If your hands are ‘In Motion’, you must be breathing out and your ‘Baby Blues (Eyes) must NOT BE MOVING. Focus on your ‘Red Dot’ or ‘Ballistic Point’!
