Changing Your Golf Swing

Changing your golf swing is like changing the path you take to a particular room in your house. Your current golf swing has a routine that starts in room 1, goes to room 2, then room 3, and finally ends in room 4, where you take your swing. When you follow this routine or path, you are in your comfort zone and have the best chance for consistency.

Now, if you take a different route through different rooms, your mind will be apprehensive, and you won’t feel sure of yourself until you trust the new path. Eventually, it becomes familiar and replaces the old path. This takes time and many repetitions of the new routine. It is very doable as long as you stay focused and remain disciplined.

The golf swing I teach is simple, athletic, and repeatable. What makes my method different is the setup, which prepares you for your new swing. If you don’t follow the setup, add to it, or leave something out, you’ll struggle. Once learned, my method has only a few setup elements, and following them will give you confidence that you’re ready to take your swing.

One last thing: if you want to make changes to your swing, you must start in a new room and take a new path. Stick with that path, and you will become successful.

Hint: If you lose focus and start in your old room 1, you’ll just get your old golf swing—or a hybrid of old and new. Not good!
