Good golf starts with the hands. The hands
are the only connection you have with a golf club, and what you do
with your hands equals what happens to the clubface. An effective hold
on the club is critical to playable shots in golf. Note the use of
"effective" rather than "comfortable." These terms
may not initially match. Through better understanding and practice,
however, they will.
- Think of your stance as a platform, or
base. Having a platform allows you to maintain your balance to
generate power while maintaining muscular, or athletic, readiness.
- Professionals appear confident and
committed as they approach each shot, prepared to execute. This is
not by chance! It is through practice, commitment and belief. When
you are confident in preparation, confidence in your swing is a
product. Your mind and body are in sync. The resulting swing motion
of each shot and your game develop a pattern that is predictable.
You can be imaginative and creative, playing the whole game with a
solid foundation.
