GET FIT TO GOLF - THE ULTIMATE GOLF SWING TRAINING PROGRAM

Why isn’t your golf swing improving? Have you ever had your golf
swing analysed? That’s not just having a golf professional look
at your swing but check out your golf swing plane, posture, your
spine angle, balance and general biomechanics. If you haven’t
you are not having a true swing analysis done.

You understand the basics… how to hold the club, where to
stand, but things go wrong from there. The reason your golf
swing goes astray when you take your club back is because your
biomechanics are faulty. For example, if you have a functional
short leg on your left side, when you take your stance your hips
will rotate resulting in an open stance. You might think that
you are square to the target line, but you are not.

With your poor biomechanics the club is being forced into an
out-to-in swing so you will hit the ball with a clockwise spine.
Correcting your hip and spine angle will square the club face at
impact so you can hit the ball with an anti-clockwise spin. The
hips and shoulders must return to a square position this will
not only cure your slice but you allow distance from more power
being generated from the correct body turn and the square club
face. If your hips are rotated you will not be able to align
your feet, hips and shoulders square to the target. If your
posture is corrected your muscles will groove your new swing so
you will naturally return to a stance with a square club face.
Also if your hips are rotated your centre of gravity will not be
right this will force your shoulders to turn too quickly with an
open stance due to a poor hip rotation the body will be in front
of the ball. If your spine angle is wrong you will not setup
with your head behind the ball you will begin your downswing
before you have complete your back swing with your arms.

Every golf swing fault can be analysed this way. That’s why your
golf swing is not improving. You are not addressing your main
piece of golf equipment…YOUR BODY…and how it affects your
golf swing. This is why you have difficulty repeating a good
shot. Your biomechanics aren’t grooved to a good swing. Muscle
memory is going to return you to a poor posture unless it is
retrained. Your golf professional is telling you to have good
balance, keep good posture and maintain your spine angle
throughout the shot. But how can you maintain your golf swing if
your body won’t allow it? You need your golf swing analysed from
a biomechanical point of view to determine how your posture and
muscle imbalances are affecting your swing.

So I broke the golf swing down from a purely biomechanical view.
How does your posture affect your swing? Can it cause you to
hook, slice, hit the ball fat or thin etc? The answer was yes.
Because as your posture changes so does your swing plane. Then I
looked at the variations in posture. Can they relate to swing
faults? …Yes, they are definitely related to every swing
fault. So I came up with a basic equation. Muscle imbalance =
poor posture = poor swing. I looked at every posture and muscle
imbalance and came up with a simple formula to analyse these
faults related to a swing fault. So this is how Get Fit to Golf
and the ChiroFit Program was born. If you can maintain a
constant posture and spine angle through a shot you will be able
to repeat the same swing and return the club face square to the
target line. I also looked at well know golf champions past and
present, from Ben Hogan, Jack Nickalus, Greg Norman, Tiger Woods
etc. Even though they have variations in their swings at first
glance, if you break their golf swing down they all have
something in common. At the impact zone they have maintained
good posture, spine angle and balance, and they are able to
repeat this. Tiger woods is a good example. When he first came
on the golf scene he had the best posture of any golfer I had
seen.

If you want to improve your golf game, your golf swing training
and analysis should have a physical component. Have your golf
swing analysed from a biomechanical standard and then fit it to
your game. This is the basis to Get Fit to Golf. An easy to
access online assessment process which will highlight and
analyse your golf swing faults and then you can download a
tailor-made easy to use program all done online. All it takes is
30 minutes of posture balancing three times a week to
dramatically change your golf swing and improve your game for
life.
