The Real Swing Golf Method® of learning golf is based on two simple skills that are the foundation for hitting great golf shots.
This series of videos explains in greater detail the basics of the Real Swing Golf Method® that were briefly outlined in the Golf Channel Instructor Search Audition video.
In Part 7, Ron explains the principle that your body simply carries out whatever instruction it is receiving from your brain. This explains your experiences where you hit it great on the range when you are warming up (no body focused swing thoughts since you are just warming up), hit it great for a few holes and then, as soon as you hit the inevitable bad shot at some point in your round, your swing thoughts change from "just relax and hit the ball" (external swing cues focused on your objective) to... "Oh no, I forgot to make body part "A" do technical move "B"!!! That's why I topped it!" And then, as you hit more and more bad shots, your mental checklist of body part do's and don't's expands in number and your body attempts to carry out all of the instructions. Since these instructions are all internal, body focused, and distracting you from striking the ball to within 1/16th of an inch of the center of the clubface... about the distance between these two lower case L's: l l (Not much room for tolerance, eh?) ...you don't hit the ball anywhere near the sweet spot. Then on the 18th hole, as you are about to hit your last shot before "giving up golf for good this time," you are going though your 14 point swing mechanics checklist when you snap and think... "Arrrgh, whatever! JUST HIT THE @$#%!&* BALL!!!!!!!!" Of course, you hit the "comeback for more" shot where you hit it pure and straight and golf sucks you back in again! This is why your best shots come when you get fed up and you default back to external, objective based swing cues which have been scientifically proven to produce greater performance (see Part 4).
Striking a golf ball is essentially a stationary ball, hand-eye coordination skill. Golfer's can improve their swing and striking ability very quickly with the following swing thoughts:
- "Relax" (especially in the hands to be able to swing the clubhead freely and to be able to feel the weight of the swinging clubhead and the path of its "heavy circle.")
- Swing with a "Rhythm," with the rhythm of the swing being Tick "Talk" - 'tick tock' so swing the clubhead swings fluidly like a clock pendulum but you want to accelerate the momentum of the forward swing of the pendulum so the clubhead "talks." In other words, the accelerating clubhead makes a loud "wwhhoooossshh" sound through the impact area - hence the rhythm is Tick - and then make your club "Talk."
- Strike the ball by feeling the clubhead's weight and the path of its "heavy circle" and "guiding" (not "controlling") the path of the clubhead's "heavy circle" so that, as it passes through the ball, the ball is struck as closely as possible to the center of the clubface.
