What is 'The Natural Swing Philosophy'?
Natural Swing Golf is based on the premise that everyone has a 'natural athletic motion'. If you are struggling with your golf game, then you are probably not using this natural motion.
Compare the leg action of your swing to a pitcher and quarterback. Is it the same? Yes! This is the 'natural athletic motion'; a weight transfer in balance which supplies power and accuracy.
Forget all the technical jargon about 'swing mechanics', and the teaching aid gadgets. Just use your natural ability.You don't think twice about what your wrist is doing when you throw a baseball or football. So why worry about it in golf?
Let your 'natural athletic motion' help lower your score by hitting the ball straighter and farther. Give us a call or come by, Natural Swing Golf, and we will teach you how to enjoy golf more!
Who is George Knudson?
One of the greatest ball strikers the game has ever known! Mr. Knudson studied the swings of pros such as Hogan, Snead, and Venturi. He noticed one important, common fundamental: their swings were ALL lower-body based. Their weight transfer not only propelled the club, but made the swing more powerful and accurate.
Mr. Knudson put his newfound knowledge to work, and became a great ball striker himself. His understanding of the golf swing was second to none! Unfortunately, he passed away in 1989, but his beliefs and methods can be studied in his book, 'The Natural Golf Swing' with Lorne Rubenstein.
It's a great book, and will help you understand how simple the golf swing really is. Get your copy today at Natural Swing Golf.
Balance..The Forgotten Fundamental.
What is the biggest factor in the swings of Bobby Jones,John Daly, Freddie Couples, and Tiger Woods? BALANCE!
The first innate ability you learn as a child is BALANCE. When you learn to keep your Balance, you learn to walk. And the more Balanced you are, the straighter you walk. It is a must in all sports. Balance makes the pros jobs look easy. It is a fundamental that players seem to neglect in golf.
Power is achieved through balance. Watch the tour pros; their swings are all different, but they all finish in BALANCE on their left foot, facing the target!
Let Natural Swing Golf show you how easy this is!
Golf is a Different Type of Ball Sport! Why?
Golf is a misunderstood game. The reason?...golf is the only ball sport where the ball is not moving on contact. In the other moving ball sports, we react to what the ball is doing in motion.
Believe it or not, a stationary ball makes golf more difficult. Our aim is not to hit 'at the ball', but to make a balanced motion through the ball toward the target.
We, at Natural Swing Golf will show you how to swing through the ball, not at the ball!
