The Basics - Improving Your Golf Swing
Thursday, May 9th, 1996

All great players have the ability to swing every club at a consistent tempo and with great balance. Rhythm and balance are linked. Some players, like Tom Watson, exhibit faster tempos. Some, like Ernie Els, exhibit a slower tempo. Yet all remain balanced. The key to consistency is to maintain your balance and use a smooth rhythm.
To produce consistent, solid shots, you must stay in your posture while swinging and you must finish in balance. Remember, the key to success in golf is to focus on fundamentals. Understanding fundamental nature of the swing will help you become consistent.
If you rush your swing you will loose your balance and the end result is inconsistent contact and poor ball flight. Outstanding ball strikers are rarely off balance at impact and their rhythm is the “glue” that bonds their positions and movements. Often their swings seem effortless and they, “swing easy and hit hard.” Great rhythm allows you to properly sequence your body motion and arrive at impact in a position of leverage and power.
Being a good golfer means playing with confidence. Confidence that will tell every golfer that the next golf swing will be better that the last one. Confidence is one thing, complacency is another. Never take anything for granted and before taking your swing a practiced golfer will recheck their stance as well as the position of their hands on the club.
They will also check several times to ensure that they pulled out the correct weight of club to suit the particular drive. Golfers, before making their drive will remember the importance of sequence and other golf swing tips on how to achieve the maximum result from their golf spring.
