It seems like we are all in a hurry to swing at a ball that’s not moving… Most of the golfers I teach start their downswing in such a rush it appears as though they are swinging at a 90-mile per hour fastball. Next time your practicing use a tempo count to achieve consistent tempo throughout your entire swing.
Count silently 1 – 2 – 3 - Shift – 2 – 3. You should arrive at the top of your back swing on 3 and begin your downswing on Shift (which reminds you to start the downswing with the transfer of weight towards the target thru the left hip verses the arms tugging down first). You should arrive at your finish position on the final 3 of the count. This tip will serve you well on the golf course and bring more consistency to your shot results. The other benefit to the tempo count during your swing is it keeps your conscious mind occupied so you can’t think about technique. Remember to play golf not play golf swing.
Feel free to modify the count to suit your personal cadence.
