Training Aid -
You

Really... the game of golf should be so simple. Golf,
the game you can enjoy for a lifetime.
But if you’re
struggling with your golf game and your golf swing,
looking at the prospect of playing golf for a lifetime
may seem more like a sentence than a
vacation.
Look, you know there are all kinds of golf
training aids out there. We offer many of the most
effective and popular training aids and practice
equipment.
Including the very popular - in
fact chosen by golf
pros as the #1 swing trainer club in the
worldMedicus 2000 Dual Hinge 5
Iron and
the Medicus Dual Hinged Driver
Many of them are
very useful and if used prudently will lower your golf
score. Golf-ology.com will hopefully help you as you
navigate around. But, let’s be frank. The best golf
practice aid for you is you.
There is no amount of money spent on golf
instruction that is going to by default suddenly improve your
golf game. If this were the case, my game would be impeccable
and all the millionaires would be scratch
golfers!
So you see the
common denominator is you.
Golf is like any
other activity. The more consistent time you are willing
to spend on improving your golf game the more your game
will improve. And only you can determine
this.
Of course the
standard approach to playing better golf is to seek out
and take some lessons. Getting some qualified golf
instruction is a good place to start.
Starting out on
the right track with a good understanding of the golf
swing and the physics of it will help you to begin to
develop the right muscle groups for the golf swing and
your balance.
Once you have an
understanding of the mechanics of the golf swing, then
it’s time to practice. Don’t take on too much information
early on. I can’t emphasize this enough. Get a basic
understanding of the golf swing then work to reproduce
the swing consistently. By this I mean don’t worry about
different golf shots, drawing, fading, hooking, or
slicing the golf ball. Don’t worry about what club does
what. Focus on the reproduction of a solid golf
swing.
Get your swing to
a good comfort level by developing the proper muscles
used in the golf swing. There are many great strength and
flexibility exercises you can do. Golf exercises are
very, very important. Don’t put a high value on results
early on. Learn just the swing. Get your body comfortable
with the golf swing. Not golf shots. The shots will come
with a consistent swing.
Even now, when I
am not getting the results I want from my game, I get
back to the swing. Not the clubs, not the golf shot. I
work to get comfortable and confident with my swing. The
irony is that I work to get my swing back to where I am
not thinking about my golf swing when I am standing over
the shot. I want to know the swing is there, so I can
then focus on the specific shot.
If you'd like some
help from some of golf's greatest, players and instructors such
as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Crenshaw, Butch Harmon,
David Leadbetter, and many more. Simply choose your favorite
from this fabulous list of Golf Instructors!
Also, take some
time to look around the website. We have many helpful
articles on many aspects of the golf game both physical
and mental, and for all levels. But remember, the best
golf training aids start and end with
you.
Play Good Golf!
