My Golf Philosophy
The Set-up
The set-up is key to developing consistent results in your golf swing. Players often overlook the fundamentals of a good set-up, and this forces them to make unnecessary adjustments in their swing.
The Swing
Everyone's swing is different, and I don't believe there is one correct way to swing the club. With that being said there is an important club-face to path relation that controls ball flight, and needs to be addressed with each individual swing.
Short Game
The most important part of improving your scores is developing a short game in which you can trust. If you can save strokes on and around the green, you are on your way to shooting lower scores more consistently.
Mental Game
Golf is a game played between the ears. You must temper your emotions and focus on the shot at hand. Playing your game, and positioning yourself to be successful is of the upmost importance.
