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 3
How to Hit Long Irons off of a Tight Lie
In order to make the best golf swings with irons off of a tight lie, you must believe you can hit them well, but sheer anxiety high handicappers experience when standing over a tight lie prevents them from hitting a solid shot. Either they don’t complete the backswing or they tense up and try to help the ball up in the air.
So think about swinging the club instead of hitting the ball. When you take a practice swing, pick out a piece of dirt or blade of grass and try to clip it as you swing all the way through to the finish and make a conscious effort to hit your shoulder with the shaft.
If you raise your body up and down, you’ll mis-hit shots. So as you take your practice swings today, think of maintaining your spine angle throughout the swing.
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.
