Our learning process in golf tends to be very sequential.
We work on our setup, work on our swing, we should then eventually improve right? This sounds very logical.
The truth behind improving your golf – An introduction
But I would encourage you to look at from a different perspective and ensure that your mind and your body are in sync with each other to accelerate your learning.
Firstly: “What is the effect of the movement you are trying to create?”
And secondly: “What is the underlying task of each shot?”
To answer those two questions, we need to ask ourselves: “What does the club need to do to the ball to hit our desired shot?”
If our brain is given a very clear concept of what the underlying task is, then how does the club need to behave through impact to get the job done?
We can gain a lot of technical improvements in both setup and technique for free.
The truth behind improving your golf – Learning skill
Throughout this video series, Alex will give us the tools to improve all areas of our game by changing our mental aspect of golf and therefore improve the transfer of information from reading, watching and hearing to our physical skill arsenal.
