RECAPTURE YOUR SWING Use these strategies to get back to your best tempo By Lynn Marriott & Pia Nilsson
1 Ride your go-to shot
AT SOME POINT OVER THE course of 18 holes, you’re like- ly to lose your good swing. It
for as long as necessary
happens to even the best players. You miss a few fairways, and before you know it, that smooth, rhythmic swing you brought to the first six holes is suddenly gone. Here’s the good news: No one ever loses their swing. It’s still there, you just must learn how to rec- ognise when it goes bad and get out of your own way. Try our three strategies to help you find it again as fast as possible.
● Obsessing about your swing when it goes awry is only going to make things worse. If you know you’re going to lose it, have a strategy or plan B for getting it back. For example: What is a shot you know you can hit in the fairway or onto the green? Maybe it’s a knockdown shot, as Pia is demonstrating above. Lean on your go-to shot until you get your feel back and leave the detailed swing analysis for after the round.
