yesterday i scored 84 at cranbury country club golf course. not the hardest course in NJ but a nice tight one, i only missed 2 fairways all day and most of those fairways were like only 30 to 40 yrds across.
i went to the driving range today and i was hitting soo straight.
why didn't anyone ever tell me the golf swing was soo easy?
obviously i'm not the best golfer in the world, but to score 84 after only golfing for like 6 months is pretty good.
here's what i've found
and btw, for those that are going to mock me, no i cannot drive 300+ yds, shoot my longest drive yesterday was only 275 yds, but i was straight as an arrow yesterday.
here is the secret.
the secret to the golf swing is not how you take it back (damn, how many times different people gave me a hard time about my back swing, totally irrelevant, Jim Furyck anyone?)
nope, the secret to the golf swing is to keep your hands as close to your body as possible and turn them over just as your hands pass your right hip (if you are right handed, left hip if you are left anded).
this turning over of the hands is the most important part of the swing, if you can get this part right, you can build the rest of your swing to suit you and to get you in the position to flip the hands, whether you have an back swing like furyk (right elbow going almost as high as the club) or a back twisting backswing like freddie couples . . .
edit
btw, the only reason my score wasn't better was because i didn't have a good gauge of how far my clubs went with my new swing.
i'm hitting a bit farther and much straighter than i used to when i was casting all over the place.
