Golf tip: Why practice hasn't made you perfect!

Most golfers think they set up properly to the golf shot at hand but what they FEEL is far different from what they actually DO! Someone once said, “feel is not real” ….. and man, is that true!

Thank goodness for video! Students now believe me when I show them that what they are sensing is not really what they are doing. Ben Hogan said, “If there had been video instruction in my day, no one would have ever beaten me!”

Most golfers resist when trying to make needed changes in their golf swings because “it doesn’t feel right.” It has to feel different in order to be “right.” A golf swing must be practiced correctly to develop the feel of a good swing. Teaching feel to a student is the most difficult challenge for any golf instructor.

Isn’t it time you stopped struggling with your golf game and seek a professional to help you practice correctly?

As a fellow teaching professional, video is not the answer for all... Hogan said if he had video.........

Hogan obviously was a visual learner.

How about talking more about the feel or listner? Can't just lump students into video only. Taped a guy once and he said that was not him, he did not swing like that. Video lesson over. Pure listener and feel player...

Gonna print, expect to get shot at...
