Practice

     Practice...So essential in golf.   But how do you find the time to fit it in ?      Golf, like many things in life, takes time, energy (and money.)  I've written about putting indoors throughout the winter, but it's really easy to get some putting practice in during the summer.  Just keep your clubs in the trunk of your car and anytime you find yourself in the vicinity of a public golf course with a few minutes to spare, stop and putt (and maybe even chip) for a few minutes.  It's a great stress-reliever in the middle of a busy day.
      But here's my favorite practice tip:  For anyone who has either a backyard or a backyard deck, simply keep a spare club nearby so that you can practice your swing (as opposed to making a trip to the driving range to hit balls).   When I'm just swinging the club and not thinking about hitting a ball, I'm able to focus more on the fundamentals of my swing.  If you have a way to elevate yourself off the ground (a deck, swimming pool, etc.), you don't have to think about hitting the ground and can just swing away AND when I swing off a deck or even better, a swimming pool, I become extremely aware of my balance-it's an awesome way to gain some awareness of what's going on in my swing, especially my follow-thru/finish.   I try to grab any opportunity I can get to put a golf club into my hands and feel that sweet rhythm of my golf swing.   Try it and email me at Jayn@WickedEasyGolf.com to let me know your thoughts. 
       Hope you're enjoying this great summer we're having,  Jayn
