Practicing for A Breakthrough

Turn Scoring Breakthroughs into Long-Lasting Improvement

If you want to get your average score on the Golf Course you need to have a regular practice regimen.  Some people define 'breakthrough' as that one magical day when you play over your heat and shatter that personal scoring barrier.  An actual breakthrough occurs only when you start making that kind of special round an everyday occurrence.  In order to make a lasting improvement, you'll need help from a golf coach, to play and practice regularly.

If you are thinking about signing up for golf lessons, remember the instructor you hire will have a hug impact on your success. Find someone who you can talk with easily, someone that has a lot of experience giving golf lessons and someone that you feel is as determined to see you succeed as you are.  Generally when you begin lessons you want to give your instructor full control of the direction of your lessons and as you progress through the workouts you can give your input on what you are experiencing on the Morrison golf courses.  Your lessons will start at different places depending on your handicap.  A person with a high handicap will start with ball position, grip and posture and a player with a low handicap may work on more tips for situations.

Your ball alignment is especially important and a great place to start with getting your golf breakthrough. Hitting a golf ball is like shooting a gun as you must aim correctly if you intend to hit your target.  Improving your golf game is a systematic process.  Start with the basics and you'll be surprised at how quickly you can drop a few strokes from your game.

You Can Learn from Video
Recording your swing offers a perfect way to get actual visual feedback about your swing.  Many pros and golf schools have video systems that allows them to view their swing immediately and compare their swing to a better player.  You can set up a regular camcorder or iPhone to view your swing and see if you are improving what your golf coach is trying to have you work on.  If you're trying to break 100, you should pay particular attention to your setup; grip and ball position, knee flex, feet alignment, hips and shoulders.
