Update on Positive Golf Improvement Projects for 2007
You may recall my posting in January 2007 regarding Positive Golf Improvement Projects for 2007. I shared the projects that my wife and I had each selected to focus on this year. I'm sharing them again, along with the "blend" of inner and outer mental and mechanical techniques we are each using at the start of the season to approach our golf improvement. I will share more updates throughout the spring and summer and invite other fellow positive golfers to do the same.
RICK'S POSITIVE GOLF IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOR 2007:
Project Focus: To consistently hit short wedge and pitch shots within 10 feet of the hole.
Affirmations I'm Using (Inner Game):
- I am capable of spinning the ball with my pitch shots.
- I see my pitches spinning and checking next to the hole.
- I enjoy playing pitch shots around the greens.
Techniques I'm Using (Outer Game):
- Stand tall.
- Get the club up more steeply on the backswing.
- Swing down by turning the body toward the target, letting the clubhead trail hands.
- For distance control, match length of backswing and downswing.
CHRISTY'S POSITIVE GOLF IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FOR 2007:
Project Focus: To consistently hit straight drives approaching 200 yards.
New Ideas I'm Using (Inner Game): An understandable analogy for me is to remember the rounded motion used to hit a baseball.
Affirmations I'm Using (Inner Game):
(These help me focus on what I can do, and help me be aware of the feeling of the proper swing motion.)
- I have the ability to hit great drives.
- I can swing with the perfect tempo.
- I allow the flow of a smooth swing motion.
- I am making progress.
Techniques I'm Using (Outer Game):
- To have a more rounded swing, rather than a vertical motion, practice swinging the club a foot or so off the ground.
- Think of this cadence while swinging: swing back - plant left foot - swing through.
Here's to great golf!
