This section of the curriculum covers developing the feel of getting your body into motion and learning the sequence it will most freely move in. The swing has 4 distinct components that drive all swings regardless of size: the heave, the counterfall, the shoulder drop and the turn. As you go through these drills at your desired pace and level of difficulty, you will find that there is a commonality from drill to drill and each shot you approach. Use this first stage as an opportunity to put yourself into a new environment if you have never done anything like this before. If you have, use this to really drive home the fundamental concepts of movement. This is where you begin building the foundation for all of your shots. Allow yourself to be the observer. Notice the changes your body starts to feel and where your attention is being drawn towards. As the process unfolds, you will become aware of making more and more subtle changes to your overall swing and game.
This section of the curriculum deals with golf course management, advanced drills and how to deal with the tricks your own brain plays on you. As any player develops in the game of golf, his/her awareness of nuances in the swing, in the golf course, and even in the brain itself, need to develop simultaneously. We will cover issues that all players encounter. Due to restraints of time and space, none of these issues can be examined in totality. However, we welcome questions on any particular subject of interest to you, where more information is desired.
