Tom's Featured Tip: How To Get Better In 2018 - Goals
For simplicity, all advice on actual swings or drills is provided from a right handed perspective.
I have recently had planning sessions with a couple of my more serious students regarding how they can get better. I thought that an overview of what we did would be beneficial to all of my readers, so here it is.
This is a bit general in nature. If anyone has any questions, please email them to me and I'll be glad to answer them. Send questions to ttucker@rochester.rr.com.
The first part of any discussion on mapping a plan for improvement is setting attainable goals. You can't hit a target you can't see, and you can't see a target you don't have.
The plan for action.
- We defined specific attainable goals based on their current skill level and areas that need improvement.
- We defined why they wanted to attain the goals. One player
wants to see if he has what it takes to become a pro golfer,
one wants to attain a single
digit handicap. The why is always a critical motivational factor.
- They each wrote down a one sentence interim goal
with a deadline
on an index card. Then I told them to trim it, get it laminated, and to carry it
in their pocket until they achieved that goal.
I can't overstate the importance of this step. There's something to be said for seeing your goal clearly
written down several times per day. It works like magic for golf
goals or any other goal that you are working on.
- We created a specific plan of action based on three week segments of practice to reach their interim goals,
including swing drills.
- It's noteworthy that each drill was designed to provide feedback in one form or another.
For example:
- One student is concentrating on ball striking, so he has drills that let him know if he is making "ball first" strikes when he performs the drills.
- The other student is working on developing a more inside attack angle on his swing path, so he has drills that will let him know if his path is getting off line.
- After each three week period of practice, the student will evaluate his progress, then set new goals as appropriate.
- Striking the ground in the right place - lowpoint awareness and control.
- Striking the middle of the ball with the sweet spot of the clubface.
- Controlling your clubface in relation to the orientation of your swing path.
Try it, you'll like it.
