Welcome to Spring!
As we head into the golf season it is time to start thinking about getting your game and your body ready for golf. We tend to spend little time on our body physically for golf. The golf swing is a violent move, it requires our muscles to be ready. If we do not prepare properly, we can ultimately injure ourselves. Proper stretching can help prevent injury. I would encourage everyone to prepare their bodies more effectively for the game. This will lead to better results in scores as well as better overall body wellness. Make and appointment with David Lutz or Jamie Burrows to learn more about how the body moves in the golf swing.
When we are making golf swings we are looking to improve our mechanics or technique so it is imperative to have proper sequencing. This sequencing will help with power, accuracy and consistency. This sequence is called the Kinematic Sequence (hips, torso, arms, club). Think of the swing as a power generator. We want to build power on the backswing filling up the generator and releasing the power stored on the downswing. If we are out of sequence the power is lost and reversed into the ground. When this happens, we hit wayward shots and lose power. Think of a coil, we want to create tension and unleash that tension on the downswing.
Get into sequence and hit better shots!!
I will be holding two clinics this Spring and I encourage you to attend.
Clinic One: Every Saturday, April 13th – May 4th at 6:00pm at the range.
Price: $150.00 per person
This clinic will be great for beginners and intermediate players. We will introduce the game and learn all areas as well as get on the course.
Clinic 2: Every Saturday May 11th – June 1st at 6:00pm at the range.
Price: $150.00 per person
This clinic will build on the last and is suited for intermediate players. We will dive deeper into the swing and learn how to score on the golf course.
Email me to sign up: [email protected]. Each session is limited to 10 people. If I get more interest I will open another time slot for each session.
I look forward to working with you and improving your game!
