Looking for drill

I found a very interesting set of drills at http://www.progolflesson.com/drills/ (Thanks for Ian for reminding me about "pump it" drill. If I add a drill to chip pennys from a mat, I think I have enough to start practising. Also I think I will use a mirror to check my address and backswing position. I also noticed that I need to stretch my hips and core to get enough rotation. Last time at the range... I noticed that hitting eyes closed was a very good practise. It's a body-mind exercise. You sense your movements better. I did not realize it on the range, but it would be good to to a swing eyes closed after a good swing. You might learn the sensation - feel for that good shot - and remember it easier by repeating it straight away. I am going skiing crosscountry. I think that is a good exercise for shifting weight and also endurance - of course. I am not thinking of golf while I am skiing, but some times I do think about core performance. Skiing is also a core exercise fo...

Drills for accuracy

Next step will be to look for drills and exercises to develop accuracy in my golf swing. Accuracy is the ability to repeat the same movement - and finding a correct swing path. Even though I am not focusing on power, the tempo/rhytm of the swing will affect the accuracy. Accuracy is 1) Swing path (stance, address, take a way, backswing, down swing, impact, follow through and finnishing position). Those are the doddied line. 2) Balance 3) Relaxation, rhytm - "soft hands" 4) grip, "cup" on the wrist So I need to look for drills that help me develop 1) Swing path 2) Balance 3) Natural feel for the swing and club 4) Timing on impact Starting to look after I come back from the range...

Outline of my self study program to learn golf

Development program for learning to play golf Introduction At the moment my HCD is 47 and I will design a program to drop it under 10 during next summer. This is "learner managed learning", but I need all the help I can get. I started to learn golf last August and got my greencard by training by my self. My understanding about golf comes from internet and television. My golf – what is it all about? Here are six principles that I think are import for me. I don't know how these principles affect my development plan. If the principles are important, they should be present in the development plan. I think that to learn and enjoy golf, I have to think of it from many points of view, like social, mental and physical activity. 1. "Ubuntu" means I am what I am with help of others. Golf is a social game. (Rule is not to instruct others. Even asking advice should be very well thought, BUT we learn from others ANYWAY! 2. "BMAN" = Body, mind, activity and nutritio...
