Golf Swing

I like watching golf Pros teaching golf swing in the television. The golf swing that they taught and the tips they gave are interesting. I learned what the Pros taught and try it out in the driving range. One day I will try out the backswing the Pro taught and the next day I will try the downswing that another Pro taught.

After trying many types of swing and learning the tips the Pros gave, my swing was getting from bad to worst. In a round of golf, I have many different types of swing. If I hit the ball to the right, I will try to change my swing so that I wouldn’t hit to the right. Then when the ball started going to the left, I would change the swing again to correct the problem. My handicap started going up from 13 to 15 and I have been losing regularly to my golf buddies.

Then for the last 2 months, I started losing my driving distance. I tried to swing harder and harder and the driving distance was getting shorter. I am driving like 20 meters behind all my golf buddies.

In my last post, I mentioned that I have changed my driver shaft thinking that it may be the problem. However, after meeting the Pro in RGT Col. Lim, I realized that my golf swing was all wrong after trying so many types of swings learning from the television.

I have taken 2 lessons from Col. Lim going back to the basic swing. I have readjusted my backswing and the downswing. The swing that Col. Lim taught me was not too difficult to learn because my previous good swing was quite similar.

From now, I will not learn from the television again. Better see a Pro if the swing is out.
