Golf Swing Problem And How To Fix It

<h1>Golf Swing Problem And How To Fix It</h1>Author: <a title="Mike Pedersen, Cpt" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/mike-pedersen,-cpt/987.htm">Mike Pedersen, Cpt</a> 	Having a golf swing problem and not being able to correct it is
the norm these days. Millions of golfers every year walk off the
course in frustration. They all have a golf swing problem and
have tried to fix it the "traditional way". 
	What I mean...is going to an instructor who can very easily
point out what the golfer is doing, but cannot necessarily get
to the root of the problem. So many times the instructor will
tell the golfer "he's coming over the top" and that's why he's
slicing the ball.
	Or maybe he's got the "chicken wing" in his follow through. But
what does all that mean if you can't get to what's the cause and
effect of that golf swing problem?
	I'm here to tell you that many golf swing problems are caused by
your body's inability to perform optimal golf swing mechanics.
Let me say that again. Your body is the culprit. If you don't
take a look at what the 'physical' issue is, you can take all
the lessons you want and you will continue to have the same golf
swing problem.
	Let me give you a specific example.
	You have a hard time staying "in your posture" during your golf
swing. You've taken many lessons and your golf instructor keeps
telling you "your coming out of your swing". But what good is
that if you don't know why this is happening?
	I'll give you one (of many) reasons why this could be happening!
	Your hamstrings (the back of your upper leg) are too tight AND
week! This is a fact with the majority of golfers, especially
the senior golfers. 
	Golf posture requires a bending at the hips, which puts a strain
on the hamstrings and low back. If your hamstrings are tight,
they will send a message to your brain saying "I can't hold
this, get me out of this uncomfortable position". 
	Does that make sense?
	The other message your hamstrings might send is "I'm not strong
enough to hold this position, I'm going bail out of this
position". 
	This is a very common cause of "coming out of your golf swing".
	But if you are not aware this is the cause, you will continue to
take lessons and hear the same thing over and over again. You
could have saved hundreds of dollars in lessons, just by
stretching and strengthening your hamstrings specific to your
golf posture.
	This is just one of many examples of how your body is what's
causing the golf swing problem.
	Once you take the approach that your body dictates your ability
to swing correctly, you will be on your way to the best golf of
your life. You will soon not have to worry about a golf swing
problem anymore

Look Back to the Ten Years in Golf----Ten Moving Moment (II)

By: Tinny | 22/12/2009
5. I am such an idiot. At Winged Foot in 2006, Phil Mickelson had three major titles on his resume and the chance to finally land the big one that got away. Phil had suffered U.S. Open near-misses at Pinehurst, Bethpage Black and Shinnecock Hills, and all he needed was a par at the 18th to win this Open, or a bogey to force a playoff. You know the rest.
