Golf, Lower Scoring And The Short Game

In my instruction I have found it extremely useful to break the swing down into its component parts. I divide the swing into 1/8 segments and each of these segments add another power producer to the motion. The first is the 1/8 shot, this is what the hands do to release the club, the second component (the 1/4 shot) is the use of the elbows and what they do to add power to the releasing action of the club, the 3rd component (the 3/8 shot) is the setting of the #7 position of the left arm (where the left arm goes as it crosses the chest) combined with the turn of the hips as the pivot returns the left arm. As the pivot of the turning hips return the left arm it remains back across the chest, it does not swing forward. And finally the 4th component (the 1/2 shot) which adds the shifting of the weight, and the additional 1/8 of the power.

Each of these shots does a job of quickly teaching what each component does and how it relates to the other components. When done with the wedges and short irons each component adds 1/8 of the total distance that club would produce with a full swing. In other words if you hit your sand wedge 100 yards each 1/8th would add 12.5 yards to the shot. Hands only 12.5 yards, hands and elbows 25 yards, hands elbows and left arm 37.5 yards, hands, elbows #7 left arm action, arm and shift 50 yards. This works with any iron club, a 1/2 shot (4th component) would go 100 yards with the club you hit 200 yards with a full swing.

By learning the swing this way you both gain a quick understanding of how and where each component works in the golf swing, plus you gain important feel and understanding of how to hit the shorter shots and which one you need for a given situation.

Trying to learn the full swing while wailing away with a driver is best compared to someone trying to learn how to drive a car by jumping into a formula 1 car and standing on the gas. Learning to drive that way is suicide, trying to perfect your golf swing with full hard shots is equally suicide.

For a rapid way to improve your swing and your game together, learning with the shorter shots is the key. Then when you have the components in place and functioning on the 1/2 shot you can add more back swing and more follow through to quickly advance to longer shots. Once the 1/2 sand wedge is mastered the actions of the body in the full swing are also well on their way to being mastered and all you have to do is turn farther going back and follow through more after impact to perfect your full swing.

The actions of the component parts are the same with the 1/2 sand wedge shot as the same portion of the full driver swing. Once the sand wedge is mastered the golf swing is mastered, since with this swing all clubs are swung exactly the same way.
