Thinking back over the years, how many lessons have you had that made a long-term impact on your golf game? If I had to guess, I would say that the lessons early on in your golf career dramatically helped you improve, but since then you have probably only found a couple gems that you carry with you long term. As a Golf Fitness professional, I have heard from so many clients that they spend most of their time rehashing the same old swing issues over and over.
That’s when I decided I had to look a layer deeper than the typical swing drills or mechanical fixes that you find from online golf videos and TV instructors. If these changes were all that was needed, then why do so many golfers struggle with the same problems for years? Now let’s stop for a second and acknowledge that golf is a game of struggle. It’s really really hard! But if you practice for years and never improve your score maybe something besides your swing is the problem. Through my own study of sports science and my own practice with the game of golf I found that redirecting the focus away from the swing and toward other aspect of the mind and body, I could improve my own consistency without more hours on the driving range. The same is true for anyone else, because after all, we may have different swings but we all breathe, we all hopefully see, and we all have thoughts running through our minds. Armed with this knowledge, I created this unique golf-specific training program called 5 Secrets of the Pros. It’s not designed to change your swing or give you a new gimmick, but instead provide you with the tools to optimize the game you already have. Using the latest science, this program will show you how professionals across sports optimize their performance with training that goes beyond their sport.
So what is this new training and how does it work? Below is an explanation of each lesson to show you how each one will resolve a common error in your game. If you implement the skills learned in this program, I guarantee you’ll find some of those gems that improve your game for the long term.
Quiet Eyes Training-
If you play golf long enough you’ve experienced what happens when you take your eyes off of the ball. This may seem like too simple of a mistake to train away but research has shown that regardless of the sport, amateurs take their eyes off the target way more than professionals do. This problem is only exacerbated as the pressure of the situation mounts which might explain why you start making more mistakes when you really want to perform well. In this lesson I’ll show you how to prevent taking your eyes off the ball so you can benefit from all those practice sessions and play your best.
Breath Training-
Have you ever thought about where you don’t want to hit the ball only to immediately hit it there? We all have thoughts going through our mind on the golf course but it’s how we manage them that impacts the way we play the game. Trying to tune them out is rarely an effective strategy. Instead try, redirecting your focus to eliminate these silly errors. In this lesson I’ll show you how to use your breath to direct your focus from those things you don’t want to do so you can accomplish the ones you do.
Pulse Training-
Ever wonder why those pros can hit the ball so far? Yes, we know part of it is how talented and strong they are but part of it is getting out of their own way so the club can do the work. If you’ve ever found yourself trying to hit the ball farther but only to end up hitting it shorter then this lesson is for you. In this section of the program you’ll learn the importance of using muscles to drive your swing power and how to avoid tight muscles getting in your way.
Balance Training-
Whether you’re on the tee box or you have an awkward lie out of a bunker maintaining your balance is key to making good contact with the ball. If you’ve ever struggled to follow through with your swing or you can never seem to make good contact on an awkward lie help is on the way. The drills here will help you avoid those fall away shots and allow you to make solid contact on those awkward lies.
Rhythm Training-
No matter how many lessons you have working on the mechanics of your swing if you don’t have good rhythm you’ll never be able to consistently make the contact you want. If you’ve ever found yourself getting quick on the downswing or shortening your backswing because you were so eager to get back to the ball then you’ll find solutions here. In this lesson you’ll learn mental and physical drills that will help you move with the grace of the best in the world and avoid hacking at the ball.
Collectively the skills you will learn through this program stand to make a big impact on your consistency and will have you wondering why you didn’t think to make these simple changes sooner.
