I have told you the secret of how to turn your body during

your whole golf swing. However this is not quite enough.

Almost but not quite.

As I have mentioned already, the back swing is made by

pressing your arms just below the arm pits against your

chest for all of the back swing, and down swing too. If you

watch Peter Lonard, you will find he uses this method. His

swing is so simple it is almost elementary. He has stripped

the swing down to its skeletal form.

However at the top, he cocks his wrist to get his club

horizontal before beginning his down swing. He is so quick

that one can easily miss his action.

You can do this too if you so desire. However, believe me;

from personal experience this is not necessary.

Just turn your chests as previously described until your left chin

is beneath your shoulder in a very comfortable position – don’t strain –

and then go into your down swing.

Now if you depend totally on turning your body to complete

your down swing, you will hook your golf ball. So, make

sure your hit is slightly away from you. Hit out on the

ball.

No, it will not go to the right and finish in the

trees. Yes, it will start a little right, but because you

have hit the ball like this you will have imparted an anti

clockwise spin to it and it will draw back onto the line

you want.

Your hooking days will be over. Your accuracy

will improve out of sight and so will your distance.

Of course you must watch the ball.

This becomes much easier

with this swing and lifting your head will become a thing

of the past too if you concentrate.

Your short game will have to come into the equation to allow you to

get a good score of course but that aspect of the game is outside the

scope of this article.

There are some other important aspects to the golf swing I

have described. However these are very basic and must be a

part of every single golf swing, no matter how you do it.

The first is the straight left arm. You must keep your left

arm straight at all times during the swing. This is basic

and absolutely essential.

It is a common fault to have the

left arm straight at address and for part of the back swing

only to have it bend at the top and collapse on the down

swing.

Any one who does this has no hope of consistency of

action. The swing will be different every time. This is

because swing path and degree of bend at the elbow will not

be consistent. It just can’t be. Of course the arm bends at

the elbow at the finish of the swing.

The next thing is the elbow. There are some who advocate

turning the elbow in an anti-clockwise direction at address

and then maintaining this position during the swing. They

argue that this makes them keep their left arm straight

during the whole swing. It does too and if you like it and

it works for you then please continue. However, it is not

technically correct.

Try to keep your stance and swing as natural as possible.

This means not turning your elbows in any direction at

address.

Just let the arms hang naturally and have no

strain at the elbows.

When you let your arms hang down

naturally, your elbows will take up the position they have

when your arms hang naturally at your side. This is the

orthodox position.

The next thing is the action of the hips.

Actually the hips will look after themselves.

The only thing I must emphasize is the action of the left knee on

the back swing. The movement of the left knee must be

forward. That is out in front of you. Do NOT move your left

knee to the right. It must move straight forward.

That is all you have to worry about with regard to your hips during

the swing. As you turn your chest, the hips will follow. If

you try to emphasize the hip movements, things will not go

as you would like.

Have a look at the Korean and Vietnamese women on tour in

the USA. I am sure they have been coached along these

lines. I would not have known this if I had not worked out

all this stuff I have been telling you. Then knowing what

to look for, it has become glaringly obvious that this is

the swing they are using with such success and brilliance.

Anyone see Tiger Woods on the weekend? Can you tell he's been working out?

It's incredible what he and his trainer have done … Tiger looks significantly more muscular than a year ago. What's even more incredible is the dynamic flexibility Tiger has maintained during its body transformation.

It's reliably easy to build a physique like Tiger's, especially at 31 years old. But to maintain the fluid range of motion on his swing while gaining that strength and mass is impressive.

I'm not sure if Tiger has to be that muscular to succeed in golf, but more importantly, he has not allowed his size to impair his performance – and that's what happens to most guys that strength train for golf. They use machines, rather than a variety of movements. They end up losing the mobility that a great golf swing demands. That's why bodyweight exercises and free weight exercises are better than machines (for golf, and for burning fat and gaining muscle).

But going back to Tiger, it was also impressive to see how he deal with the heat. He did not fade. In fact, in the post-game news conference, he went on a pretty good tirade about how great he felt, and how all other golfers should be training hard so the heat would not bother them. Basically, Woodsy "called out" the other golfers on the tour.

And you know what, good for him. As he said, "he busts his butt" to stay in shape. You can not say that for almost all the other players on the tour. Even the ones that workout probably are not busting their butts like Tiger (or like the men and women using Turbulence Training).

Anyways, congratulations to Mr. Woods. He describes it. He earns it. And it looks like he will be dominating the scene for another 20 years, or as long as he feels like it. Imagine that, Woods in top shape for another TWENTY years.
