Proper Swing Thoughts

Sun, 05/01/2011 - 19:25 -- Don Trahan

What should you be thinking about on the driving range? Should they be the same thoughts as when your out on the course?

I think in order to effectively utilize the Surge Swing, you always have to be aware of the elements involved in the swing. For example, to simply go out on the course and only worry about your aim is doing yourself a disservice.

Now, I'm not saying to go out there and be so mechanical that you lose your feel. But, you always have to incorporate what you practice on the range when playing an actual round on the golf course.

Keep it vertical,

The Surge!

I believe it's impossible to have more than one swing thought during the swing and have read this
numerous times in coaching manuals. On the range I practise a number of swing thoughts, but only one at a time and use this to cement an action on some change in the swing. When the feel
of that action is ingrained and I no longer have to think about it, I'm happy. However I carry one swing thought to every game, which is left hand dominant, otherwise the right hand takes over and either casts, tops or drags over the ball.

T. Walsh,

The tone of your comment has provoked a rather predictable reaction from a number our Surgites, And I particularly like the measured and reasonable response from T Medley.

However, I have also noticed that 7 people have indicated they 'like' your post.

So maybe we should ask if you and/or your supporters would be kind enough to engage with us (using less emotive language) in an attempt to satisfy any of your reasonable concerns.

We are after all brought together by our love of golf and it would be a shame if we were to lose some of our members simply because we are not able to have reasonable discussion about points on which we have diverse opinions.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers,

Brian

Sshuetrim,
Often our biggest challenge with the putter is our distance and getting it close or just past the cup if not in. So after you have the line, we just focus on the right distance as we roll it over our spot or line and just think and feel, "smooth".
