INSTRUCTION I f you're returning to the golf course after an extended break and you're slicing the ball all over the golf course or blading chip shots across the green, there's one thing you need to do fast: Get to the root of the problem. Sure, it's a nice gesture if your golfing buddy says, "slow down, you're too fast," but is that really the cause of your troubles? Taking a lesson from a PGA Teaching Professional who has been trained to find the root cause of your issues is the best way to go. The first bit of advice I would offer a golfer is to find time to practice and work on the correct moves through your swing. This is an exercise that can be worked on throughout the day – even at work. Just block out 15 minutes a few times a day to rehearse your swing. Start with extremely slow moves so your brain can process a feel. As you build confidence in the move, start to add a little more speed each time, eventually to a full, normal swing speed. Then hit the range. If the main cause of your problem is not finishing your swing in a balanced position on the lead foot, then practice that move. As you practice, your main focus should be to holding your balance on the lead foot, not worrying about the where the ball goes. The bottom line is if you're having difficulties on the golf course you need to find the root cause of the problem so you can play better golf. .............................................................
