| BODY AWARENESS GOLF: ASSOCIATE THE MOTION (Lynn Bernadett) | |||
|
Lynn Bernadett - Golf Professional When
you
were
born,
the
process
of
learning
was
based
on
trying
something
new
for
the
first
time,
every
time.
As
time
has
gone
by,
you
no
longer
grasp
at
straws
to
learn.
By
now,
you
have
developed
ways
to
make
each
new
experience
easier
to
learn,
learning
by
ASSOCIATION:
“The
connection
or
relation
of
ideas,
feelings,
etc;
correlation
of
elements
of
perception,
reasoning,
or
the
like.
An
idea,
image,
feeling,
etc.,
suggested
by
or
connected
with
something
other
than
itself.” Learning
golf
can
be
a
much
easier
process
by
associating
past
experiences
in
life
and
adapting
them
to
your
golf
swing.
Some
motor
skills
can
be
taken
from
your
previous
athletic
background
or
simply
through
common
daily
activities.
Before
a
first
lesson
I
always
have
a
mini,
yet
purposeful,
conversation
with
my
new
student
about
their
previous
background
in
sports
and
what
their
lives
consist
of
on
a
daily
basis.
Upon
that
initial
conversation,
it
is
necessary
for
us
to
get
comfortable
with
each
other
and
to
rid
most
of
your
anxieties
(building
your
confidence)
for
a
productive
lesson.
Most
importantly,
it
is
the
time
when
I
gather
the
most
valuable
information
for
us
to
ASSOCIATE
your
MOTION
of
which
you
are
familiar. A
successful
golf
swing
requires
a
positive
mental
attitude.
It
also
requires
the
complete,
synchronized
motor
skill
of
your
body:
Head
to
toe
and
head
to
hands
-
all
working
together,
all
at
once!
This
can
be
overwhelming
to
most
beginners.
In
your
development,
I
will
always
identify
a
(golf
swing)
concept
in
association
to
other
familiar
activities
from
your
past
experiences
and
adapt
them.
Why?
Because
you
have
already
developed
confidence
with
a
known
position
or
motion,
and
it
can
become
our
foundation
in
the
creation
of
your
efficient
golf
swing.
This
foundation
will
always
be
there
for
us
to
fall
back
on
during
your
lesson,
and
it
will
allow
your
body
to
trust
any
further
adjustments
in
your
swing
technique.
In
other
words,
I
use
what
you
already
know
and
will
repeatedly
make
reference
to
that
skill
to
regain
your
confidence
when
introduced
to
new
skill
levels.
Associating
the
motion
combined
with
a
positive
mental
attitude
can
go
a
long
way
in
any
process
of
learning.
The
following
are
some
examples
of
association
in
golf: Your
grip
pressure
should
feel...
-
like
holding
on
to
the
hand
of
a
2
year
old
as
you
would
for
a
pleasurable
stroll. -
like
holding
on
to
a
garden
hose
to
allow
the
water
to
flow
freely,
without
obstruction. (I
will
never
use
the
analogy
of
holding
a
"bird
in
the
hand"
because
I
haven't,
yet,
met
a
person
who
has
had
that
experience
to
identify
with!) The
full
swing
motion
is
... -
like
the
delivery
and
release
of
throwing
a
ball,
as
executed
by
a
pitcher
in
baseball
(hardball).
-
like
the
delivery
and
release
of
a
serve
in
tennis
(flat
serve). -
like
the
delivery
and
release
of
a
bowling
ball
("strike
ball"). These
have
the
likeness
of
routine,
weight
transfer,
the
hip
&
shoulder
rotation,
coil
&
release
of
coil,
rhythm/tempo/timing
of
release,
etc.,
as
is
the
synchronization
required
for
an
effective
golf
swing. For
some,
the
golf
swing
can
be
hard
to
learn
if
taken
from
"pure"
golf
terminology.
You
already
have
a
wealth
of
useful
experiences,
why
not
adapt
them
to
your
golf
swing?
If
you
apply
them
correctly,
it
can
make
you
understand
the
dynamics
of
the
golf
swing
on
an
understandable
level,
and
it
makes
it
easier
to
retain
effective
motor
skills.
Associate
the
feel,
associate
the
motion. **
