One of the questions that I think a lot of people would like to know is, “how long will it take to fix my golf swing.In the next sections, I show you some different approaches you can take.As you read them, it will be up to you to figure out the best approach. 

Swing Fix 1 - Buy New Clubs

Every golfer has bought new clubs at one time or another to help change their game.   Now, I don’t want to totally discount this fix because buying new clubs can improve your golf game if you’re playing the wrong clubs, or your clubs are not properly fitted to you and your swing. What you should do, is find an experienced clubfitter and have your clubs fitted and your swing checked.

Buying new clubs can fix your swing in a way you may not realize. New club give you a different feeling from your old clubs.When you hit shot with them, you aren’t thinking about your swing because they feel so different.This new feeling totally clears your mind but it doesn’t last long.Using your new clubs for a couple of weeks and they won’t feel all that different so you go right back to thinking about your swing.  My advice here is to quit trying new clubs. 

As I mentioned earlier, try to find a professional clubfitter and get fitted.  Then, work on your swing.

Swing Fix 2 - All Those Swing Tps

We’ve all picked up the latest golf magazine and tried the latest golf tips hoping they will magically get our game back on track.Unfortuantely, most golfers don’t have the experience to determine whether or not these tips will work for them. If you don’t know your swing well enough and you keep trying these tips, you may make your swing worse. Plus, a tip is just a tip.  It’s not necessarily going to improve your fundamentals. 

An example would be to try a stonger grip.A tip like this may help you square the club a little better but it’s is not helping your develop a proper grip.You should be very careful the next time you go to work on the latest tip you find in a magazine, or from your buddy.  A good idea would be to discuss the tip with your head pro or teaching pro first to see if it would be a good fit for your game.You should try it only after this consultation.It it works, that’s fantastic!

Swing Fix 3 - Lack of Focus

So many golfer’s are searching for the instant cure that they get caught up into experimenting with too many changes at once.This approach will never work.Unfortunately, this will be too confusing.  Plus, you may have tried so many things that you can’t remember what worked and what didn’t.   Even if you did find something that worked, it may have been luck.  The true test for this apporach is your game improving long into the future.

Swing Fix 4 - Working on One Thing at a Time

The best thing you can do to fix your golf swing is to work on one thing untl you have it mastered.If you do it this way, you will keep your focus and not be trying to work on all sorts of different things at once.To work on your swing this way, you will need to study a swing method or take lessons from a qualified pro.  By focusing on  your swing like this, you’ll reenforce the changes because you won’t be getting sidetracked.I know, most golfers think this is going to take a long time.If you compare this way to the other fixes I descreibed, you’ll make progress faster this way. 

That’s because the other tips only give you a temporary fix whereas, working on each piece of your swing, develops proper fundamentals that you can take with you long into the future.
