Improve Golf Swing The �Non-Traditional� Way

by: Mike Pedersen

Improve golf swing seems like a thought that is on our minds as golfers dozens of times per day. Do you agree? But what are you currently doing to improve your golf swing?

Let me take a guess. Spending money on lessons, that may-or-may-not be working? How about the latest-greatest driver? Did it lower your score? Golf balls? They say the Titleist ProV1 makes a ton of difference. Has it for you?

I could go on-and-on but I won�t. I think you get the idea.

So I�ve mentioned some very common, �traditional ways� to try to improve your golf swing. But I haven�t mentioned the MOST important one.

Do you want to take a guess?

Have you read any of my other 200 hundred or so articles floating around the web and in newspapers? If you haven�t then you may not know what I�m going to say.

But if you have�you know exactly what I�m going to say!

Look in the mirror�that�s your answer!

No this isn�t a joke. No I�m not trying to yank your chain. I�m trying to get you to realize what is holding you back. It�s not taking lessons. It�s not buying more equipment or $40 golf balls.

It�s getting right at the heart of the matter! Your �physical limitations� are keeping you from making a mechanically sound and repeatable golf swing.

Think just for a minute!

If your body can�t make a 90 degree shoulder turn�it�s a fact you will lose a TON of yardage off the tee and with your irons.

If you can�t maintain your golf posture throughout your entire golf swing�you have no chance to swing consistently for 18 holes.

If your core is weak�you will not be able to generate any power going into impact, therefore you will see a weak shot that most likely goes �offline� quickly.

Can you see the picture more clearly now?

So what do you do?

You go see a local golf fitness professional who will take you through a golf fitness evaluation to determine your weaknesses and limitations and draw up a plan to improve them.

If you don�t have someone in your area�or the cost is a bit too steep do a search online for golf fitness, golf training or even golf exercises and see what you come up with.

FYI � make sure to pick the first few �non-colored� results on the search pages. These are the �real� results�not paid advertisements. You want to find a product or program that covers every facet of golf improvement�that you can afford.

This is the next best thing to having your own golf fitness trainer.

Once you embark on a golf training routine�you won�t have to be thinking improve golf swing anymore!
