How To Build A Simple Golf Swing

By John Lynch

The secret to consistent golf is to build a simple golf swing – a swing without a lot of moving parts and one you can repeat time and time again – even under pressure.

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 golf swing.

How many strokes per round do you think you could save if you hit the ball solid, straight, and long every time?...

7 strokes?...

10 strokes?...

Even more?

So how do you build a simple golf swing that will allow you to consistently hit solid shots at your target every time?

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 simple golf 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.

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

- You must swing around a stable spine – this is your axis of rotation.

- 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 through practice that is fundamentally sound, you no longer have to think about it – your simple golf swing will become automatic!

Conventional wisdom says a fundamentally sound golf swing should have lateral sway in it and the golf club should go back to parallel at the top…

This is hogwash!

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

Even Tiger Woods eliminated the lateral movement in his backswing for more consistency... he is now more "stacked" at the top of his swing.

The less moving parts to your swing, the easier it is to hit solid golf shots time after time – the secret to playing great golf!

Once you have programmed your 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 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 this the objective of golf?

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!
