All For The Love Of The Game" ------------------------------------------------------------ Take a moment to answer GopherCentral's Question of the Week: What is the number one problem facing our country? http://rd.gophercentral.com/al/a?aid=7541&ent=2501 Question of the Week IN THIS ISSUE: 1. Ask The Pro 2. It's Good For Your Game - SETUP FOR SUCCESS: A WINTER PROGRAM 3. The Golf Doctor - Better Body, Better Golf ASK THE PRO Q: My friends tell me that I have bad body language on the golf course and that it hurts my game. I guess I do mope around some when things are going badly, but even though I swear I'm going to change, as soon as I start to hit it badly, off I go. Can you coach me out of this? -- K.S., via the Web A: Your friends are pretty astute. You can't hide your feel- ings from them because your body language reveals what's really going on. I hope you don't play much high-stakes poker. Look at it this way: If your mood can shape your body language, maybe your body language can shape your mood. In fact, I believe that how you act can influence how you feel, and it's you who controls how you act. So all you have to do is fake it until you make it. First do a little research. The next time you're playing well, monitor how you act. Do you talk a lot, tell jokes, walk fast? It also helps to ask your friends how you behave when you've got your "A" game. Then be ready with your "A" game behavior when things go a little south and all you have to do is fake it until you make it back to your "A" swing. To find out more on this subject, read my book "The 30-Second Golf Swing." IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME SETUP FOR SUCCESS: A WINTER PROGRAM A good setup writes the script for the entire golf swing. If you're stuck indoors this winter, the best thing you can do for your game is pose in the perfect setup in front of a mirror at least once a day. STANCE WIDTH How wide you spread your heels affects your stability, balance and mobility. The distance between your heels varies according to the length of the club you are using (always use your heels to measure, rather than your toes). FOOT FLARE If you set up with both feet pointing straight at the target line, you would have no flare at all. How much you should turn your feet out at address depends on your ability to turn back and through the ball. BALL POSITION Your ball position depends on what club you are using. With your short to medium irons (again, I'm setting up to hit a short iron here), play the ball off the front cheek of your face so that it's slightly forward of the center of your stance. For your long irons and fairway woods, the ball should be positioned off the logo of your shirt. With all teed woods, it should be opposite your arm pit. Using your feet as a guide for ball placement can cause mistakes because it's hard to judge exactly where the ball is in relation to your feet when they are flared. So it's best to use your upper body to make sure you have the position correct. SHAFT ANGLE Ideally, the butt of the club should point at the inside of your front thigh. Clubs are designed to be "forward leaning" at impact, and it is easier to accomplish when you set the club up that way from the start. SPINE ANGLE The spine angle is a relationship many amateur players ignore. At setup, your spine should be slightly tilted away from the target. it and my spine are tilted about 5 degrees away from the target. Lines, arcs and angles -- golf is clearly a game of geometry. The good news is that to achieve a correct setup, you don't need special athletic talents or even any previous golf experience. All you really need is determination. The forward-leaning club and my left arm form a slightly tilted straight line (bottom). Matching this angle at impact ensures hitting down and through the ball. THE GOLF DOCTOR BETTER BODY, BETTER GOLF HANDS AND FOREARMS I've never seen a good player who didn't have muscular fore- arms and a firm grip, strong enough to stabilize the club without squeezing it to death. Most golfers understand that they should not hold the club too tightly because it stifles club head speed. But they don't realize that in addition to keeping the power muscles of the back and legs in good shape they must also pay attention to the small muscles in the hands and forearms. These muscles play an important part in the transfer of energy from your body to the club head, and if you are not careful, they are easily injured by working out with too much weight. An excellent, "low-weight" exercise is to squeeze a small, pliable, palm-sized ball for at least 10 minutes every day. Another is the "whoosh" drill to train the hands and the forearms to amp up club head speed. Turn the club upside down and hold it by its neck with your trail arm only. Take your golf stance and swing one-handed until you can produce a whooshing sound at the bottom of the swing arc in the impact area. The higher the pitch of the whoosh, the faster the club speed. If your arm muscles are weak and your grip too tight, your whoosh will have a low-grade "woo" sound. As your strength grows, your low-grade "woos" will rise to a high-grade whistle. Muscular forearms allow for a firm, stabilizing grip that's not too tight. |
