A Golf Tip that will Help You in Your Next Golf Round or Golf Vacation by Success Coach Charlie King

The weight of the clubhead cannot be manipulated. It MUST be swung. A swing is accomplished when the club goes back and forth with the rhythm of a pendulum. The "tick-tock" of a pendulum is the beat of a great golf swing. Many golfers struggle with rhythm because of the anxiety to hit the ball quickly and desire for distance.

Let me give you two key drills. The first is an oldie but a goodie. Count "one thousand one" on the backswing and "one thousand two" on the forward swing. By counting as you practice, you will see more consistency in your ball striking. The second drill is called Full Swing-Half Effort. Make a full swing with a 7-iron or driver, but feel like you only use half effort coming forward. This will lead to a better change of directions and a feel of effortless clubhead speed.

Give these two drills a try and you will have the "rhythm".

On a side note, you might find this interesting. I was doing a photo and video shoot in St. Kitts for Golf Magazine when the video director asked me to do a spoof video as a joke for a guy at the home office with a club throwing problem. I did it impromptu for internal use only. Several weeks ago I get an e-mail link showing that golf.com had posted it as the featured video. I have given hundreds of golf lessons and golf tips in my 19 years as an instructor, but none has received an overwhelming response like this. It went viral and has now been viewed over 1 million times (by far the most ever for golf.com). Enjoy.
