Thought Reduction Golf (Paperback)

There is little doubt that most average golfers have too many "swing thoughts" swirling around in their heads when preparing to hit a golf ball. Our natural desire to analyze, dissect and try to improve on everything we do and often overthink something which should be natural has resulted in much golf instruction being just too complicated. Having a mental picture of a good golf swing as a "swinging motion" from start to finish is a positive thought but trying to break that movement down into dozens of parts just doesn't work. In this book I have tried to limit conscious thoughts as much as possible by focusing on the three necessary basics of GRIP, ALIGNMENT and POSTURE at address and the three basics of CORRECT WRIST HINGE, ROTATION OF THE ARMS though the impact area and GETTING OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY through to a finish position. You will read nothing about "swing plane" "spine angle" in this book but will instead learn to let the various body parts react to the swinging motion of the golf club. "Club focused" instruction is not new and was described some ninety years ago by the great teacher Earnest Jones in his book "Swing the Clubhead." This very simple and uncomplicated way to learn to swing a golf club has since been modernized by Manual de la Torre and Jim Flick and a growing number of younger instructors. The idea of simply training the body to react and respond to the "swinging motion" of the golf club will be dismissed by many as being just too simple. After all, golf is not supposed to be simple. I agree that It is necessary to learn to hold the golf club in a way that will get the best results, line up toward the target and have reasonably athletic posture but after that there should be little need for conscious thought of where certain body parts are as the golf club is swung back and through toward a green or fairway. If you are frustrated and tired of trying to remember all those memorized body positions and "swing planes" you read about, see on TV or may have been told were necessary, you owe it to yourself to read this book.
