Developing Your Best Golf Swing
Requires Method Not Magic

by Harry Monell

Are you among the vast majority of golfers who are constantly searching for ways to improve that painfully revealing final score? Well, take heart in knowing that most any golfer will do pretty much anything to improve the quality of their game. Golf lessons are the obvious choice, but some will buy any new product, with golf tips or golf training, that comes along, which offers quick fixes and immediate results. Many golfers will grab any new golf swing training aid, method or philosophy perceived as revolutionary, hoping to short cut the process toward a better round of golf. And, probably worst of all are those who think a better result is guaranteed with the purchase of a brand new set of golf clubs and, for some, the more expensive the better.

But, these are all pitfalls that any golf beginner should certainly try and avoid. Lack of success in your golf game is most often a result of misplaced priorities and overlooked fundamentals. It's not about the products delivering empty promises, nor is it your inability to drive the golf ball 350 yards, no matter how strong your golf grip or how hard you try to infuse super human powers into your follow through, as you swing the mighty golf club. Surprisingly, in the end, success will ultimately arrive, as you achieve your best golf swing through relaxation, patience and practice. And, a golf lesson or two won't hurt either.

A consistent simple golf swing is without question the most important element in a well played round of golf. It's a matter of controlling uncertainty by changing a key variable into a constant. It's a process that will no doubt exact a considerable price, as you devote the time and the means to master the golf swing basics. It's important to remember that golf is no different than anything else in life. If you expect favorable results, you'll have to set personal goals and develop good habits that will ensure a positive outcome. Practice, fitness and mental preparation are equally important components in your approach to achieving your best golf swing.

And, most importantly, you should have fun with every aspect of practicing, anticipating and playing the game of golf. That, along with some level of golf instruction involving a few golf exercises and stretches will increase physical fitness and thereby add strength and endurance, which will carry you through the final holes. You'll feel better and you'll play better as your golf score and handicap provide testimony to your dedication and hard work.

Mastering the consistency and execution of your best golf swing and strongest golf grip will require some measure of power, strength, flexibility and endurance. This can usually be accomplished with light workouts, using hand weights, exercise tubing and a variety of stretching exercises, requiring little or no investment, outside of a few golf lessons.
