There are two principles that much be mastered by the student in any golf swing lesson, to achieve a great overall technique. These are balance and rhythm. To take your game up a couple of notches, these must become like second nature. Your consistency and confidence will grow dramatically when you have control of these two elements. Rhythm is the ability to repeat the same action again and again and with the same speed. The ability to maintain stability during each stage of the stroke, from the teeing up stage to completion, is what we mean by balance.

Watching professional players as often as possible is a really useful way to learn how they develop their own personal golf swing technique. Often, they go through a similar set number of steps so they have the correct mind-set for the shot. With visualisation, the sports psychologists focus the student on ’seeing’ the perfect shot in advance to help them create poise and balance. This helps the student approach the set-up for the, shot knowing what they want to achieve in advance.

A common mistake in mastering the correct golf swing technique is over-swinging. The belief by many golfers is that to achieve a longer distance shot, that a longer arc of the club and increased speed of follow through is required. This can often lead to the incorrect alignment of the face of the club in connection with the ball. It is important to remember that it is not just the speed of the club-head but the length of time the face of the club is in contact with the ball. Focus on not taking the club further back than you can turn your shoulders. Distance will come in time, when these basic foundations are in place

A daily practice schedule should help in the achievement of pleasing results. The muscles will also strengthen with this training, with wider stretch and better overall control. Also, it is useful not to forget that there is a large number of e-books, videos and tutorials which can provide new techniques, ideas and inspiration. It may be a good idea to book a golf swing lesson with a local professional when some of this theory and practice is established. In time, you will feel more in control of your game and be able to correct your golf swing with analysis giving you more independence.

Lastly, before any practice game or lesson, always remember to warm-up and stretch properly. This will help protect you from any injury and also warm up key muscle groups that will help make your golf swing more relaxed.
