The game of
golf is truly an individual sport. Each person will have to adapt their
bodies to perform a proper golf swing in their own way. Many players
tuck their heads into their chests to try and keep their heads still
and look straight down at the golf ball. Unfortunately, they cannot
perform a proper golf swing while in this position.
The next time you approach the ball, assume the
correct stance with your feet and knees in position but keep your head
and back straight, bend forward slightly at the waist and look straight
at the ball. If you try and take a swing in this position, your left
shoulder will most likely hit your chin.
While keeping your eyes on the ball, raise your
head slowly until your left shoulder does not hit your chin. Slowly go
through the backswing and downswing portions of your golf swing.
Make
minor corrections to your head and body position as needed to keep your
eyes straight on the ball and your left shoulder from hitting your
chin. You are doing the same thing by "training" your body to keep your
head straight and position itself so that you can successfully execute
a proper golf swing.
Another basic step that can work greatly towards
improving your golf swing is to relax. Regardless of the golf clubs you
use, your balance is the primary foundation of your golf swing, and the
way to achieve good balance is to practice. Keeping your head straight
and maintaining good balance are just two basic parts of a great golf
swing.
The exercises given above are just two ways that
you can start training now to improve your golf swing. Improving your
golf swing begins and ends with you. Training the muscles of your body
to properly perform specific movements takes time and practice. The
effort spent improving your golf swing will pay off on the course.
