Swing Thoughts
Survey of PGA/LPGA Teachers on FINDaLESSON.com

What is one swing thought from the pros that can work 
for some golfers?

Florida
"Swing the club (back and thru)!" - Sean Gorgone, Teaching Professional

"Try to make your swing effortless. Swing ten times without stopping and the swish drill."  
- John Pallot, Teaching Professional

France
"Don't think." 
- Daniel Raleigh, Teaching Professional

Michigan
"Very tough question to answer -- since different words/thoughts/phrases/drills etc. work differently for different people. One of the attributes that makes a teacher a great teacher is his or her ability to make 'adjustments' with each and every student. There is certainly no 'one way' to teach golf.  The teacher must be able to work with the particular student and their traits/tendencies/abilities.

Bob Menzies, Teaching Professional

Minnesota
"Focus on propelling the ball to the target. Let your body figure out HOW to do it.
-
Jim Manthis, Teaching Professional

Nevada
"Have fun in life and golf or kiss it off! Swing through the ball and do not hit at it. The ball goes where your hands go. See the ball come off the clubface. One and through."  
-
Karl Fischer, Teaching Professional  

New Mexico
"A steady head. I always use the word steady as opposed to still. 'Quiet' is a good word also. This sort of follows Mr. Penick's thoughts of saying simply 'be at ease' rather than 'don't be tense.' Anyway, the word 'steady' allows for a little movement and doesn't paralyze the student."

Warren Lehr, Teaching Professional  

New York
"One thought to have is: Don't think! Do all your swing thoughts in your pre-shot routine, then go blank and FEEL what you have just thought about. Keeping your head steady is a good swing FEEL, and it will produce a solid hit."   Connie Chillemi, Teaching Professional

Texas
"The best swing thought is pick out the smallest fixed target possible and swing to it." 
- Dave Baron, Teaching Professional
