Integrate or Disintegrate

Playing golf is tougher with a swing made up of constantly changing components. Use your practice time properly and you’ll begin to own a swing that stays with you on the course.

Thinking about what your legs, arms, wrists, hips, shoulders etc. should all be doing fragments your swing, never allowing you to trust your swing as a whole. You have a walking style you trust and do not question which effortlessly gets you where you wish to go without thought for how you’re doing it. Give yourself the freedom to learn golf in the same way and you’re on the path to playing success.

Fearing one swing position doesn’t match the ideal position, leads to constant comparison and questioning; shattering your swing’s simplicity - epitomizing inconsistency.

Watch the swing of any player who consistently creates desirable results. Watch their swing just once or twice. The swing’s motion begins and ends typically within 2 seconds, regardless of the club they are using (see pictures opposite). “Not enough time to notice anything” you contend? On the contrary. There’s time to spot the broad, obvious, swing features which explain its effectiveness.

Be courageous. Establish balance and repeat broadly obvious swing features, like rhythm and tempo, let your instincts blend the fragments.

Rhythm; the regular/repetitive framework of time in which the swing is performed– No Stop Watch needed!
Tempo; the favored speed to perform the swing

In 2 seconds you can’t see everything; this doesn’t mean you can’t notice anything. To trust your swing, you must first know courage.

Kids Group Lessons

At our new Kensington site we are launching a fun, 4 week course aimed at introducing children from 6yrs – 12yrs to the game of golf. Each weekly session will be held on Sunday mornings and last for 1 hour. After successful completion of the course the children will be awarded their Medal Certificate having gained solid understanding of hold, stance & alignment, posture, balance and swing.

Places are strictly limited to 8 children per session so book now to avoid disappointment. The next 4 week course of lessons starts from 25th April and costs £80 per child. During the lessons parents are welcome to practice their own game, relax in the lounge, watch the golf coverage and read the Sunday papers.

For further details or to book a place on the course call Nick Lloyd on 0207 248 8600 or email NL@urbangolf.co.uk
