Addressing The Problem With Your Golf Swing

Introduction     

    Hey golfers this is Luke Wheeler, senior golfer at River Bluff High School. I've been playing golf for about 5 years now and I can say it's my favorite hobby. Whether you are someone that plays golf all the time or play it occasionally, golf can sometimes become frustrating when your scores are not what you want. I know that sometimes you go to the course, and it can feel like you forgot how to swing. When I go through periods like this it's important to take a step back and make sure you don't create bad habits. 

Attention to Detail

     Take a look at your shots and see where the ball is going. Then you will need to think about what causes the ball the go left, right, or too low. By doing this you can find the problem with your swing. The issue may be a multitude of things or a simple fix. Common mistakes that can poorly affect your swing can be ball placement in your stance, hand eye coordination, and club path. 

     Our Swing will never be perfect, so it's important to understand that there is always something to work on to become a better golfer. 

Stay tuned throughout the week as we go over some other important concepts to becoming a better golfer!
