| BODY AWARENESS GOLF (Lynn Bernadett) | |||
|
Lynn Bernadett - Golf Professional Golf
is
an
athletic
sport,
based
on
science
and
physics.
Together
they
make
the
golf
swing
work
efficiently.
Body
Awareness
Golf
is
my
unique
system
of
teaching,
based
on
how
YOU
learn
by
human
kinetics.
The
following
definitions
are
to
help
you
better
understand
what
Body
Awareness
Golf
is
all
about. Athletic:
“Pertaining
to,
or
involving
athletes
or
their
physical
skills
or
capabilities.” Sport:
“An
athletic
activity
requiring
skill
or
physical
prowess
and
often
of
a
competitive
nature;
recreation.” Kinetic
energy:
“The
energy
of
a
body
with
respect
to
its
motion.” Kinetics:
“The
branch
of
mechanics
that
studies
the
actions
of
forces
in
producing
or
changing
the
motion
of
masses.” It's
a
fact,
golf
is
an
athletic
sport
based
on
kinetics.
My
system
of
Body
Awareness
Golf
hones
your
awareness
of
motor
skills
in
order
to
produce
your
efficient
golf
swing.
During
a
lesson,
I
may
make
reference
to
your
golf
club,
but
only
to
recognize
"cause
and
effect".
The
club
can
only
do
what
your
mind
and
body
tells
it
to
do.
In
addition,
you
learn
about
kinetic
energy
in
its
most
simplistic
form
("The
actions
of
forces
in
producing
or
changing
the
motion
of
masses",
i.e.,
acceleration,
momentum,
and
rotation)
and
how
it
applies
to
YOUR
golf
swing. Everyone is built differently. In turn, this requires an individual swing analogy (or method of teaching) for each and every one of you. Your body guides your club in the golf swing, not your club guiding your body. Body Awareness Golf has three stages of learning: (1) set-up and motion patterns have to be introduced, (2) familiarity with the motion, (3) relaxation and confidence with making the motion (effortless and fluid-like swing). You will never be able to achieve your goals of relaxation if you concentrate too hard on the golf club itself. That is a mechanical way of thinking. Your golf club should be thought of as, "going along for the ride". You want to FEEL the physical motion of the golf swing in order to produce a golf shot; this is what Body Awareness Golf is all about. To
perform
well
in
golf,
as
is
in
all
athletics,
you
have
to
be
"in
tune"
with
your
body
at
all
times.
You
have
to
create
a
routine
set-up
that
is
in
proportion
to
your
target
and
your
physical
build.
I
emphasize
your
set-up
to
be
the
greatest
influence
on
your
golf
swing.
Your
set-up
is
the
"cause",
and
your
swing
is
the
"effect".
The
process
of
developing
and/or
improving
your
golf
swing
will
always
be
in
constant
review
of:
your
body’s
proper
positioning,
the
feeling
of
being
balanced
and
counterbalanced,
your
flexibility,
strength,
and
weaknesses.
Your
body's
chemistry
will
change
everyday,
which
will
require
slight
alterations
in
your
set-up
on
a
daily
basis.
In
turn,
will
influence
the
performance
of
your
swing. Your
mind
is
a
powerful
tool.
Knowledge
is
power.
Educate
yourself
on
the
importance
of
a
good
set-up
in
golf.
It
will
determine
the
potential
of
your
motor
skills
when
your
swing
is
put
into
motion.
You
want
the
golf
club
to
rotate
around
you
naturally.
YOU
control
the
club's
actions.
YOU
are
the
foundation
to
your
swing.
YOU
are
the
hub
of
your
wheel.
Knowing
about
your
body's
proportions
in
set-up,
in
respect
to
its
motion,
produces
a
confident
golf
swing.
This
is
Body
Awareness
Golf!
