Today’s REAL Golf Tip- brought you by...

Today’s REAL Golf Tip is part of our “Play GREAT in 08” series.

Play REAL Golf offers an, easy to use, workable system to create positive emotional-behavioral changes that will improve golf performance and, more importantly, enjoyment.

Simply put...Play REAL Golf helps players with their emotional mechanics by reinforcing the positive aspects of golf and effectively eliminating the negative.

Today’s tip is designed to improve your ball striking consistency. You can improve your consistency dramatically by focusing on two keys; Balance and Rotation. 1. Balance- staying centered through out the swing 2. Rotation- turning the body around the center

By rotating around your center in balance you will eliminate excess motion which will keep the club on the correct path and the proper attack angle. You’ll hit the ball solid and straight.

Players will focus on these two elements on the practice tee but then tend to lose them on the course. Let me share a couple of tips to work on these elements during your round.

To stay in balance you have to start in balance. While waiting for your playing partners to hit their shots, take your set up and then rock forward to your toes and then to your heels feeling the center, then rock your hips out and feel the balance. Yes it is that simple. Find the balance and get set. You can also incorporate this into your pre-shot routine.
Once in balance you can focus on your rotation. Between shots take your balanced set up and then turn your shoulders back to the end of your backswing and stop. Feel the weight on your right foot, coming through your right hip and knee. You’ll know you are in a good position when the back knee has maintained its flex. Then turn through to your full finish and hold it.

The drills are simple and easy to do during the round. You’ll keep it REAL by staying balanced and rotating.
