What is a Simple Golf Swing?

By John Lynch

This may be the most startling news you ever heard - "A simple golf swing is the secret to a great golf game!"

Eighty percent of the 27 million golfers in this world do NOT achieve a handicap of less than 18. The vast majority of these golfers credit inconsistency as the culprit - inconsistency in their swing.

How many shots per round could you shave if you hit the ball solid, straight, and longer each time?...

7 strokes?...

10 strokes?...

Even more?

If you're too busy with life to even think about your defective golf swing - what are you to do?

Read on...

The secret: A simple golf swing starts with using your stable spine as an axis to keep your swing on plane - you must swing around a stable spine!

Most high handicap golfers do not swing around a stable spine - they have more sway and unnecessary movements than you could shake a stick at.

Your swing will be most effective if you coil around your stable spine with limited hip rotation - the secret to tremendous power!

Since you are limiting your hip rotation you don't have to swing the club back too far, your backswing will be shortened yet you will still be storing plenty of power in your backswing coil.

So what have we learnt so far in creating a simple golf swing?

- Swing around a stable spine.

- Your hip rotation is limited.

- Your backswing is shortened - you don't have to swing back to parallel.

The truth is the most effective swing does not have a lot of moving parts to it. The best golfers on the planet have built themselves a simple golf swing utilizing only the movements that promote solid contact and consistency.

You want a simple golf swing you can perform correctly over and over again - even under the pressures of tournament play.

In fact, once you have programmed your subconscious with a simple golf swing that is fundamentally sound, you know longer have to think about it - your simple golf swing will become automatic! You program your subconscious by practicing the fundamental components of a sound golf swing until they are engrained.

Conventional swing thinking says a fundamentally sound golf swing should have a lot of sway in it and the golf club should go back to parallel at the top...

This is hogwash!

The more moving parts to your swing - the more room for error.

By simplifying your swing with less moving parts you minimize the chance of errors in your swing!

Once you have programmed your simple golf swing into your psyche, you now only have to think about hitting your target.

What a beautiful feeling it will be when you are not thinking about your golf swing out on the golf course - you are only thinking about what matters - things such as your target, your lie, the wind, the slope, or any other factor that affects getting your golf ball to your target....

Isn't the object of golf to get the ball into the cup in the least amount of strokes?

So go build yourself a simple golf swing and start scoring on the golf course like you're capable of!

Hit 'em Long and Straight!
