Blending the Science and Art of Golf  Email this Article to a Friend
Part one of two Ever wonder why you play your best golf from the trees? You aren’t alone, most golfers do. One of my first students many years ago was Patti Rizzo. Patti won twice on the LPGA Tour and led the money list on the Japanese Lady’s Tour in the early 90’s before she took time off to have children. I’ll never forget our first meeting. I asked Patti what she wanted to work on and she said: "I guess I need to focus better. Give me a seven iron from the middle of the fairway and it’s like I don’t have a clue, but put me behind a tree and watch me play." Patti, like most golfers, was an Artist from the trees and a Scientist from the middle of the fairway. In my Golf Schools we have two phases of instruction: Science and Art. The Science of the golf swing consists of lines, angles and neutral positions. Simply stated, these lines, angles and neutral positions (fundamentals) entail alignment, grip, a balanced posture, stance width, ball position and your hands hanging relaxed under your shoulders (neutral). As you swing the golf club your body strives to maintain balance and your arms and hands return to neutral through impact. If you start off balance, you will finish off balance. If right handers stand too close to the ball, they will tend to hit fat, left shots. If they stand to far from the ball they will tend to hit thin, right shots.
