Cardiogolf 1000 Practice Swing Challenge Day 2

KarenCardiogolf Daily Dose, Golf Fitness

A note from Karen:

The challenge is straightforward-simply make 1000 practice swings during the month to improve your swing technique and increase clubhead speed.  You don’t need to go to the driving range or golf course, you can simply make practice swings in your garage or living room at home a few minutes a day (just make sure that you don’t whack the ceiling or walls!)

If you don’t have enough room to swing a regular club, use a soccer ball or tennis racquet to simulate a golf club.

Break it Down-make 30 practice swings a day for 30 days and you will have made 900 swings over the course of a month.  Okay, so it is not exactly a 1000 swings, but close enough (if you really want to get technical, you’ll have to take 33.3333 swing per day to reach 1000 practice swings).  The amount is not the point, the point is to be consistent with your practice; take a few minutes out of your day to work on your golf swing and get some exercise.

Making practice swings will not only wake your muscles, but the act of swinging over and over again can help you improve your swing technique and improve muscular endurance.

Day 2

If you watch professional golf tournaments on TV, undoubtedly you will see the professionals doing some sort of waggle before each shot.  The waggle is crucial to set the pace and shape of the swing.

You want to incorporate a waggle into your swing to rehearse your takeaway. The objective is to waggle the clubhead on the same path that you want to take the club back.  Most high handicappers tend to whip the club too far inside  in attempt to get behind the ball.   Well if you do this, then your swing is already off plane.

You want to waggle your clubhead  with the clubhead outside your hands until the clubhead is just outside your right foot.  This keeps the club on plane.  So if you take a couple of waggles like this, hopefully when you swing, your club goes up that same path.

Take the challenge with me.  Email me at Cardiogolf1@gmail.com or post a note  on my Facebook page letting me know that you are up for the challenge.

Feel free to post pictures of yourselves practicing.  I will post reminders and more tips this month to help you achieve your goal of 1000 practice swings this month.
