PurePoint Golf – Timing – Golf Instruction
Lesson
I want to review something with you that I consider to
be one of the, I don’t know, I think it’s one
of the most misunderstood verbiage’s or terminology’s
in all of golf.
It’s called timing. And it’s used a lot on
television and in all the magazines, but they don’t
explain to you what timing is and what it means.
So, let me give you a little golf instruction lesson, and
then, that way you’ll start to understand the value
of the word timing. Okay, here it goes.
Whenever you watch a good player hit a golf ball and or
when you hit a good shot, this is what timing means. It
was your ability to swing the arms down as your left hip
moved out of the way, and gets out of the way for you.
Now, there are a couple of mistakes you can make. First
of all, some people swing the arms down, and this never
moves and you stay still. If you do that, you would be one
that would come down and the club face closes quickly at
the bottom of the hit.
If your timing is off because you didn’t move the
bottom out of the way, the arms will cross over real quick.
On the other hand, most of the golfing public, when they
swing down, their body moves out of the way and leaves the
club behind them and open.
So, a little golf instruction lesson, if your timing is
off and your body’s too quick, you’ll go to
the right. If your timing’s off and your body’s
a little too slow, you might hook it.
If your timing is on, all that’s saying is that you
have the combination of the body, the bottom part of the
body moving out of the way, as the arms swing down.
Again, the body moves, arms swing down. It’s just
a combination of getting the arms and the hands to match
up with the bottom part of the golf swing.
Thanks, and have a great day. I hope that golf instruction
lesson helped.
