Instruction Southern Golf, Vol. Ala. There is a commonly held belief among many amateurs that professional golfers have access to secret information. They believe it to be some previously unknown mechanical element or some mystical prestidigitation delivered to them by their own personal golf swing engineer that transforms them into an omnipotent golfing machine. As physicist Theodore Jorgensen said, The practice must be done with the understanding and intention of establishing new habits. As habits are formed, the golfer will find that there are fewer and fewer aspects of his stroke that he must keep at a high conscious level.
Old habits tend to show up unexpectedly and relapses are a common experience among all players.
If you have a plan geared toward steady progress combined with an awareness of your past, it is relatively easy to get back on track. However, to prevent this process from becoming unavoidably bewildering, I recommend seeking the help of a qualified instructor that will be an invaluable aid in the development of your individual plan. Take for example LPGA Tour professional Susie Redman. As a starting point, we established her technical priorities by carefully studying swings from her past. Susie s advantage was that she had a clear awareness of some of the problems.
