GOLF: Keep It Simple
The Simplicity of Golf is Amazing when learned correctly.
By Doug Weaver, Director of Instruction Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy
Ilove this game of golf! It’s been part of my family for generations. My grandfather taught his five daughters to play so well that not only were they competent, they were comfortable playing with nearly any of their peers.
His influence taught me the subtleties and simplicities of golf. He kept his instruction light and fluid. My friends usually knew more about golf mechanics, but I performed better because I knew the simplicity, the feel of the swing.
Jack Nicklaus has said, “If you learn to putt correctly your driver will improve.”
My students are often skeptical when I share this lesson, but they come around. Once they master putting, I have them write down which action items have helped. Several days later I ask them to write down the action items that helped them improve full swing. When we compare the
two, they’re always surprised to see similar thoughts.
· Relaxed grip
· Proper posture
· Alligator arms
· Close the car door
· True swing – feels like a pendulum
· Let the club do the work
Here’s an example. A relaxed grip allows the club, putter, iron or driver to do what it is engineered to do. Many golfers hold it tight and restrict gravity, restrict muscle activity and redirect the club to the wrong places.
The saying goes, “One swing and 14 clubs!” Want to improve your swing? The golf professionals at Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy can help! Come see us!
North Carolina and South Carolina PGA Teacher of the Year, Doug Weaver is the Director of Instruction at the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy. He conducts “Where Does the Power Come From?” a free interactive clinic and demonstration every Monday from 4-5 p.m. at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Course. Volunteer for a free lesson and some will win prizes! Call (866) 455-6890 or go to palmettodunes.com for more information.
