We all know the clubface must be square at impact and the club releases thereafter. Generally speaking a large amount of golf swing mechanics center upon returning the clubface to square at impact. Additionally, the golf swing is a total body movement incorporating every joint in the body. In order for the clubface to be square at impact all of these joints must work in coordination to allow this to occur.

In relation to the body, specific muscles are very active in returning the clubface to square. One joint directly involved in the squaring of the clubface at impact with the golf ball is the shoulder joint. The shoulder joint is a ball and socket

joint allowing for the arms to move through a large range of motion. Review of the biomechanics of the golf swing, it becomes very evident the arms move through a large range of motion.

If you’ve been on a golf course and have tried to use all your strength in the basic golf swing so that you hit the ball as far as possible, then you will have already understood that this does not quite work.

One of the reasons is that although the basic golf swing requires strong conditioned muscles, this hardly means hitting the ball with all your strength. In fact the basic golf swing is much more physics that strength.

Look carefully at the way your golf clubs are designed. You will have already noted that each club has a different job to do and part of the basic golf swing is selecting the right club for the right job

in the right conditions.

We all know the clubface must be square at impact and the club releases thereafter. Generally speaking a large amount of swing mechanics are centered upon returning the clubface to square at impact. In order to square the clubface at impact a combination of separate but connect components work together.

The first of these components is your golf swing mechanics. The biomechanics of the golf swing are an intricate series of movements, in a sequential order, and executed with a specific timing. The golf swing mechanics if performed correctly allow for the clubface to return square at impact. In conjunction with golf swing mechanics the body executes these biomechanics.

Tea originated in China 5,000 years ago and the selection and brewing of tea has been refined to an art with health and spiritual aspects emerging as part of the process.

Experienced tea drinkers throughout the world generally follow established guidelines for infusion or brewing of tea and the infusion process is often as important as the initial selection of tea. For many tea enthusiasts, brewing tea is the most soothing and spiritual part of their day. Brewing a good tasting cup of tea releases tensions for many and has a definite comforting effect.

Have you missed the secret to improving your game? A “secret” that has been right in front of you all these years?

The secret we are talking about is golf fitness.

“A secret?” you say. Well, it must be since so many golfers seem to have overlooked it.

Yes, we know all about the success of fit golfers of like Tiger Woods and Anna Sorenstam. But did you know Gary Player, known as the Black Knight and the International Ambassador of Golf, is also known as Mr. Fitness? Player turned pro in 1952 and has been winning tournaments in both regular and senior events for the last 6 decades. And he has been a pioneer in the field

of golf fitness all along the way. Yet few people, golfers among them, were even aware of that factor in his success. Fitness has always been a part of the success for many golfers on the pro tour but so many others have neglected it totally right down to this day. And many everyday, Sunday golfers aren’t even aware of it either. They have been
looking for an edge and buying expensive equipment endorsed by the big money winners, yet they have neglected or missed completely the advantage given to the fitter golfers. Don’t be like them. Look at golf fitness like many of the pros do today to improve their game.
