Bradley Hughes Golf- Where Experience Counts
What a great month of golf!!! After Bradley Hughes and the 26 year old Jason Scrivener met up on a cold mid July winters day in Melbourne to discuss his golf swing- "Scriv" has returned to the European Tour and set the courses alight during August & September...an incredible run of 4 top 18 finishes in his past 5 events at an amazing 52 under par... Great playing!!!
**Update- After 4 exceptional rounds of 68-68-65-68 Jason finished Tied 3rd at the Hong Kong Open behind winner Justin Rose. He has now risen from 183rd to 117th in the Race To Dubai standings since using my guidance to better his game.
"Scriv" has also again secured his European Tour status for 2016 with an outstanding 7th place finish at Qualifying School on November 15-19
Why is it difficult for golfers to improve?
Why is it that just when a golfer thinks they have found the secret to success everything falls apart again and they are back at square one- confused and scratching their heads trying to find the answer again?
The answer...... The golf swing is a complex chain of events.
We only have to sit back in a quiet space for a while to think about how incredibly talented we really need to be to put the clubface squarely on the ball from the proper path and angle of attack to send that ball somewhere near the direction we envision. One or two degrees wrong in either path angle and/or approach angle and the ball can veer 20 yards or more off track from our target.
CONNECTION IN THE GOLF SWING
We often hear the term "connection" with regards to the golf swing. So- what does connection truly mean?
In mainstream golf instruction the term "connection' highlights the necessity to connect the arms to the body. We see all types of drills relating to placing towels under the arms and swinging in an attempt to keep the arms connected to the body. Other variations of this would be placing a headcover or a glove under either the left or right armpit and swinging the club trying to keep this item in place without it falling out.
Is this correct? Well in some regards YES- but the reality is connection of the arms to the body is only relevent or necessary for a short time in the entire motion. I phrase the real term as "cohesive tension"- it is a more relevent use of words than 'connection' and involves the entire body- from the feet through the legs into the hips and core and trunk- up to the shoulders down the arms and into the hands and fingers- which are holding the club
In approximately two years Jordan Spieth has gone from a World Ranking of 803 to the 4th ranked player in golf.
He is undoubtably the Hottest Player on the Planet right now. He disintegrated the field in The Australian Open and the Chevron World Challenge at the end of 2014.
In recent weeks has won the Valspar Championship, finished runner-up at The Valero Texas Open and now takes a one stroke lead into tomorrows final round of The Shell Houston Open. A terrific lead up for a confident assault on Augusta National at The Masters, where last year he finished runner-up to Bubba Watson in his maiden appearance in the event as a professional.
