Answer: Get continual feedback and stay on "path" with the Internet Golf Academy.

Answer:  Reinforce your video and training club work with the Internet Golf Academy. 

After 25 years of frustration with my conventional golf swing and game I decided to take the plunge and learn what appeared to be a simpler, more efficient golf swing and approach to the game - Moe's way. 

 

As I begin working with Todd and Tim I quickly discovered that simpler did not equate to simple.  I had a very tough time learning to change the way I was swinging the club.  The first thing I learned through way too much trial and error was what I thought I was doing in my golf swing was nothing close to what I was doing in my golf swing.  My feelings and perceptions were not matching up to reality.  The use of video was invaluable in this area.  I also discovered one of my biggest obstacles and distractions turned out to be the golf ball, it would trigger my old swing pattern each time I tried to implement a change.  Here's an example of how I learned to overcome these problems:

I used to take the club back well past parallel in my backswing and I wanted to shorten it.  I found I had to exaggerate by trying to make what felt like a ¼ length backswing (hands no higher than my right hip), this enabled me to make what most golfers would equate to a ¾ length backswing (club shaft just short of parallel at the top).  And after several months of working on this I found that my feelings began to match up much closer to reality.  The other thing I had to train myself to do was to forget about the golf ball.  Like many of you I thought I was special, that I could cheat the process of making changes and the results would immediately be perfect, not exactly.  Over time the changes stopped feeling weird and uncomfortable.  I began to relax and my ball striking improved. 

 

What I was told repeatedly by Tim and Todd (apparently I had a hearing problem) and eventually learned was that the process of changing any aspect of my golf swing had to include two things: gross exaggeration of whatever it was that I was trying to change and a total disregard for what the golf ball was initially doing.

 

Good luck!
