| BODY AWARENESS GOLF: LESS IS MORE (Lynn Bernadett) | |||

Lynn Bernadett - Golf Professional Loss
of
flexibility
is
a
major
concern
for
anyone
in
the
40
and
above
age
bracket.
In
golf,
flexibility
is
a
major
factor
in
creating
an
effortless
swing.
Whether
male
or
female,
you
will
lose
a
good
percentage
of
your
flexibility
as
the
years
go
by.
If
you
are
in
this
category,
the
majority
of
swing
flaws
that
occur
could
be
from
a,
“trying
to
do,
like
I
used
to
do”,
syndrome.
You
can
do
like
you
used
to
do,
but
it
may
be
a
scaled
down
model.
This
means
that
you
will
be
able
to
produce
the
same
distance
and
the
same
accuracy
with
less
in
your
swing.
No
matter
what
level
your
swing
is
at,
less
is
more
in
golf. Unlike
most
other
sports
activities,
golf
is
a
game
that
you
can
play
for
the
rest
of
your
life.
Involve
yourself
in
some
sort
of
regular
exercise
in
order
to
maintain
a
healthy
mind
and
body.
The
older
you
get,
it
is
more
important
that
exercise
be
a
part
of
your
everyday
life.
In
golf,
do
not
expect
to
increase
your
mobility
without
involving
yourself
in
extracurricular
exercise. “Swinging
within
yourself”
is
to
swing
within
the
natural
boundaries
of
ones
own
sense
of
balance.
The
speed
at
which
you
chose
to
start
your
swing
will
only
increase
as
you
continue
your
motion.
Flexibility
and
balance
cannot
be
achieved
if
your
swing
speed
is
too
fast.
You
need
to
find
a
rate
of
speed,
that
keeps
you
on
your
feet,
and
in
balance,
through
to
your
finish
position.
You
want
to
create
a
“low
and
slow”
takeaway
as
you
start
your
club
back.
“Low
and
slow”
benefits
the
stability
throughout
your
swing
and
definitely
maintains
flexibility,
and
a
steady
balance
check. At
the
top
(or
end)
of
your
back
swing,
turning
your
shoulders
to
a
90-degree
angle
to
the
target
line
(or
your
back
completely
to
the
target),
may
no
longer
be
your
"spatial"
challenge.
Since
you
have
lost
some
of
your
flexibility,
your
ability
to
turn
will
now
end
somewhere
short
of
that
90-degree
mark.
Once
you
have
found
the
maximum
potential
of
your
coil,
a
simple
readjustment
in
rhythm,
tempo,
and
timing
has
to
be
made
in
your
swing.
You
would
be
keeping
the
same
dynamics
and
principals
of
the
golf
swing
but,
will
be
a
more
condensed
version
-
Less
is
More. Neither
age
nor
physical
disability
should
restrict
a
person
from
enjoying
this
great
game
of
golf.
The
majority
of
my
students
are
in
their
senior
years
of
golf,
and
I
wish
to
thank
them
all
for
bettering
my
understanding
of
"I
CAN"! A
gentle
reminder:
Disability
is
only
in
the
mind,
and
the
golf
ball
does
not
discriminate.
