The Push
Welcome to the new year, everyone! For myself and the Classic Swing Golf School, January 2017 marks our 25th
Anniversary of golfing instruction on the Grand Strand. We have enjoyed every minute of working with you, our students, and look forward to many more!
I hope your holidays were filled with excitement, good health, good stories, and blessings of happiness. As Father Time continues moving on and 2017 brings new opportunities, our team will continue producing our monthly newsletters as well as using Facebook as a means to entertain and educate you with 90 second videos to compliment the newsletter topic. I hope you enjoy and benefit from our efforts. Remember, feedback is always encouraged.
Now, we bring you the 2017 concept,
THE PUSH.
This coming year, the word PUSH will be included in all 12 newsletters. A simple definition of pushing is a directional force away from the center -- verses pulling which is a directional force applied towards the center. Without getting too technical or making a short story long...
Are we going to pull on the golf club
or push on the golf club?
At the top of backswing, impact,
and well into the follow through,
we need to PUSH on the club.
At the top of the backswing, Stef uses h
er
right hand to push the shaft into my hand away from her right shoulder.
At impact, she uses both hands to send force down the shaft and push my hand into the carpet.
Post impact, or what is referred to as the follow through, Stef pushes the club head away from her left shoulder into full extension, both arms straight.
Next month and those that follow I will get more explicit with these 3 stations mentioned above. Expect some really cool drills to support the stations of the top, bottom, and follow through alignments of the golf swing.
2017 is our year to GET PUSHY!
