GolfTEC North Bethesda Wants To Help Golfers Take the First Step to Get Golf Ready











GolfTEC North Bethesda


Rockville, MD (PRWEB) November 29, 2011

Why do most golfers start playing golf? Usually, most of GolfTEC clients answered to have fun. Question: Is golf still fun?    

To improve the technique and play better golf in the spring, GolfTEC North Bethesda is the right place. For more than 15 years, GolfTEC has been helping golfers of all skill levels play better and enjoy the game more. Whether, a complete beginner or an accomplished golfer, GolfTEC’s comprehensive approach to improvement can help golfers reach their personal goals.

Sequential approach to golf lessons

After millions of golf lessons, countless research studies and ongoing feedback from clients, GolfTEC has concluded that a sequential approach to golf lessons is critical to building repeatable skills and lasting results. Sequential lessons are one of the five factors required for maximum improvement. As a GolfTEC North Bethesda Coach improves the swing, they will follow a ground-up, start-to-finish sequence that builds one good motion on top of another:

1. Address – the critical foundation of all good golf swings

2. Backswing – the initial movement that sets up the rest of the swing

3. Top – an athletic, fundamentally-sound top position maximizes the odds of success

4. Downswing – the most difficult, and arguably most important, move in the swing

5. Impact – often called the moment of truth; it is the natural result of all previous moves

6. Release – an effective way to control and alter trajectory and shot shape

7. Finish – the reflection of a controlled swing and solid mechanics

There are many golf related gifts on the market today: training aids, clubs, balls, etc. Some of these training aids don’t consider the unique swing and technique that golfers have, so more often than not the “system” that they’re trying to implement is not geared to help golfers play better golf and start to enjoy the game. Here are some ideas to start golfers down the right path:

Golf Swing Evaluation regular $ 195.00; discounted 25% to $ 146.25

Winter 3-month Plan regular $ 1,227.00; discounted 25% to $ 920.25 ** Swing Evaluation Included (**10 Lessons, 3-months In-Bay Video Practices, Golf Fitness Evaluation, Current Set Analysis, Discount on purchase of any new golf equipment)

Golf Myth

“The average golfer don’t need to be fitted for their wedges. Buying one or two off the rack is just as good as any other option.” David Saunders, PGA, Director of Custom Club Fitting

Golf Truth

Anything that a golfer uses for more than 30% of their shots had better be the right choice!! Next time in the market for a new wedge, consider that the “scoring game” is an art form. Picasso would not be asked to paint a masterpiece with a normal everyday paint roller. So trying to lower scores with faulty equipment is a losing proposition. According to David Saunders, PGA, “I regularly see in my fitting sessions that gapping, bounce, flex and head shape issues inhibit student’s potential success.” The key is to tailor a wedge system that caters to the players individual needs. If there are inconsistencies in wedge play take some time and head down to GolfTEC in North Bethesda. “I will make sure that your wedge system is firing on all cylinders”, said David Saunders, PGA.

The Hidden Secret For An Effortless Powerful Golf Swing

Sunday, May 29th, 2011

A HUGE effect on the distance you hit the golf ball is based on the sequence in which you make your golf swing. You’re going to rob yourself of a lot of distance if you get it wrong, and if you’re like most golfers, you want to hit the golf ball as far as you can. To gain distance you need to understand the golf swing sequence.

Here’s what should be happening in the backswing and in what order.

The backswing should be started with your big muscles…namely your back and shoulders. Your backswing should not be started with your hands.

When starting the backswing by turning your shoulders and back you also need to shift your weight to your right foot. Keep moving your weight to your right foot (for a right hander) all through the turning of your backswing. Now when you reach the top of the backswing position you should have about 90% of your weight on your right foot.

The backswing can be summarized as a shift and turn.

Where does the most power in the golf swing come from? The Transition….

This move in the golf swing happens when you change directions from the backswing to downswing.

It’s the change in direction from moving the club back to bringing it down where the real power in the golf swing comes from. This is the key place in the golf swing where most amateur golfers lose a lot of distance. This happens because there is a lack of the correct sequence in the golf swing.

So what should start the downswing? The weight shift!

Start the downswing moving your weight back to your left foot. Then move your left knee towards the target, then the move the left hip towards the target, followed by the left shoulder and finally your hands should move. DO NOT RUSH!!!!!

Most golfers start the downswing with their hands and its killing their distance. You’ve got to start the downswing with the weight shift and then the left knee.

So go out and try this now….

Start with a slow back to the top of your backswing, now when you’ve almost reached the top of your backswing, move your weight back to your left foot and move your left knee towards your target. Develop a feeling of doing this until you are completely comfortable with this move. DO NOT RUSH!!!!!

For me I like thinking about moving my left knee towards the target to start the downswing. And I suggest you try that golf swing trigger as well.

Once you get this sequencing correct from the backswing to downswing you’ll gain a lot of distance and the golf swing will be a lot easier for you.

How sequencing your golf swing correctly will help you drive much further

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

The correct golf swing sequence has a HUGE effect on the distance you hit the ball. If you get it wrong you’ll be robbing yourself of a lot of distance, and if you’re like most golfers, you want to hit the golf ball the longest you possibly can. Of course in order to hit the ball long, you need to work on your golf swing sequence.

So let’s look at the backswing and the order in which the individual motions need to be done.
Your big muscles in the back and shoulders start the backswing. You do NOT want to start your backswing with your hands.

Instead, you start turning your shoulders and back and additionally shifting your weight over onto your right foot. By the time you reach the top of the backswing, 90% of your weight should be on your right foot.

The backswing therefore is a shift (onto the right foot) and turn (with your back and shoulders).

So what part of the golf swing sequence does the most power come from?

The power comes from what’s called the transition. The transition in the golf swing sequence is when you change directions from the backswing to downswing.

Just think, if this wasn’t true, you’d have golfers setting themselves into a perfect top of the backswing position and then swinging from there. That clearly doesn’t work because the real power comes from the change of direction, of moving the club back and then bringing it down. That’s the key place in the golf swing where most amateur golfers lose a heck of a lot of distance. This happens through a lack of the correct golf swing sequencing. 
To make it even clearer: imagine you’re at the top of your backswing. What starts the downswing?

Well, since the beginning of the upswing includes a weight shift to the right, the downswing is also started with a weight shift.

So shift your weight back to the left foot. The correct sequence after shifting your weight to the left, is moving your left knee towards the target, then the left hip, then the left shoulder and finally your hands follow behind.

Again, most golfers use their hands to start the downswing which kills their distance. To emphasise: start the downswing with the weight shift, followed by the left knee.
Have a go and see if it makes a difference to your distance!

Swing slowly back to the top of your backswing and then when you’ve almost reached the top of your backswing, move your weight back to your left foot and move your left knee towards your target. Once you’ve got the feeling of doing this then speed up the swing.
I actually visualise my downswing being started by moving my left knee. Try this golf swing trigger for yourself!

If you get this golf swing sequence correct from the backswing to downswing, you’ll gain a lot of distance and the golf swing will be a lot easier for you. Try it – you’ll love the results!

Bob Toski Analysis of Tiger Woods’ Golf Swing.

Sunday, October 17th, 2010


www.VideoGolfClub.com Bob Toski analyzes the golf swing of Tiger Woods. We see the Tiger’s swings from various angles and in slow motion. First of all, great players swing well above waist. On the way down the lower body moves beautifully and on the way up the upper part of body works the most. Look how perfectly Tiger Woods synchronizes and correlates. The width of stand supports the amount of force he needs to get the ball as fast and as far as possible. His arms move lightning fast from left to right and his body even does not have to work that much to support his hands. He correlates the upper and lower parts of body beautifly. His head moves slightly to the right and then it stops and starts turning as the club moves to the side of the body. He’s paralel to the line where the ball is going to be shot. The position of club is parallel to top – to the line of play. He’s got all leveraged. Downswing is also perfect. Hall of Fame golfer Buddy “The King of Clubs” Demling says Tiger is the best player in the world today. US Marine veteran Lukas Dwelly agrees. — Learn to play golf from the professionals www.VideoGolfClub.com — —
