3 Easy Golf Swing Tips To Shrink Your Handicap Fast   by Andri Zhou

“Golf is easy,” said Ernest Jones, one of the most influential and respected golf teachers of all time.

If you’re like most golfers, you probably balked at that statement. After all, for average players, golf is anything but easy.

But it CAN be.

These three proven golf swing tips (based on the Ernest Jones Method) will show you a simpler, easier and more effective ways to skyrocket your game and lower your handicap fast.

#1: Use The Positive Approach To Learn The Game

Did you know that the average golf score has not improved over the last 75 years or so? It’s true… despite the advances of instructional medium and equipment technologies, the vast majority of golfers are still dreaming to break 100.

Why is this happening?

Well, according to Ernest Jones, the fundamental reason most golfers are having a hard time improving their skills lies in the way they LEARN the game.

Golfers in general are more keen in finding out what goes wrong in their swing after they hit a series of bad shots, instead of figuring out what they did RIGHT when they hit a shot perfectly.

I know, common wisdom says we need to learn from our mistakes to succeed, but when it comes to golf, the process of accurately identifying your swing flaws… and then eliminating it one-by-one would be too long, arduous, and the results are usually very disappointing.

You’re going to improve your game much faster… with less heartbreak and frustration… if you can forget about your failures and learn from your successes instead. As an old saying goes — “success leaves clues,” you just need to pay more attention to them.

So instead of pulling your hair out in trying to fix your hooks or slices, think of a moment when you hit your very best shots… then work from there. Try to remember — as vividly as possible — the feeling, sensation, and the mindset as you hit a perfect drive. Over time, you’ll be able to repeat your best strokes more consistently.

#2: Focus On The Swinging MOTION Instead Of Positions

Another common, yet fatal mistake almost all golfers make in learning the game… is being too mechanical with their swing.

First of all, a golf swing is not a series of actions or “positions” which you can consciously put together into one seamless movement. Trying to micro-manage every detail (such as arm position, hip turn, weight transfer, etc.) is a surefire recipe for disaster.

Imagine that when you’re swinging the golf club, you’re drawing an imaginary large circle around your body with the clubhead. You know that a circle consisted of 360 degrees, but you’d never draw one by piecing together 360 tiny lines, won’t you? Nope, you’d do it by drawing one line in a smooth, continuous motion.

Perfect positions are the RESULTS of perfect swinging motion, not vice versa. Learn to produce the perfect swinging motion with the clubhead and you’ll automatically do all the things your instructors have always told you to do… without even thinking about them.

#3: How To Learn The Perfect Golf Swing Motion

The first thing you need to do is observe how the best swingers in the game play. Yeah, I know, it’s old… but here’s the twist: do NOT pay any attention whatsoever to their body movements. Instead, watch carefully the motion and rhythm of the CLUBHEAD when they are swung.

It is the motion of the clubhead that you should try to copy from the champs, NOT their physical gaits and movements.

Everybody moves differently. No two players swing the golf club in exactly the same way. However, all good ones basically do the same thing when they’re playing at their best: they swing the clubhead through an arc in a smooth, easy rhythm.

Once you had a basic understanding on how the clubhead should move in a golf swing, it’s time to take it into practice. Remember to pay attention to the clubhead motion and rhythm instead of body movements and positions when you’re practicing.

Your swing is going to get smoother, more consistent, and powerful… when you’re just focused on swinging the clubhead in your own unique way… instead of trying to impersonate other player’s style and quirks.

To summarize, keep everything as simple as possible. Little children can learn to play good golf faster than adults because they don’t clutter their minds with endless do’s and don’ts that bother us so much. When they missed a shot, they’d simply try again without over-analyzing it.

If you can approach the game in a more “child-like” manner, you will learn that golf is actually easy… and a whole lot more enjoyable.
