So if we are looking at a golfer's swing tempo now lets identify what would happen when a golfer doesn't have good swing tempo. One of the first and most noticeable things is probably a lack of distance. What the golfer is doing is they're trying to hit the ball as hard as they can as far as they can and then just not getting anywhere. They're not really hitting the ball as they should about loss of distance to the tempo particularly a golf swing big powerful golf is if they swing far too fast they cause action their body in a nice dynamic motion and they don't hit the ball as far as they should. Well the big golfers they beat determine to slow down so they swing so slowly the bull they don't actually get the power that those big muscles can provide and they end up hitting short to shots. Now all the areas of inconsistency might just be the quality of the strike.

So if you don't have good swing tempo you might be hitting the club sorry hitting the ball all over the club face and heels and tops and bottoms and what was with the driver and again inconsistent strikes is going to give you inconsistent distances inconsistent directions on one up in the air you might particularly notice where you'll swing by falls down is when you're nervous. So 1st you might get to the 1st tee there's a crowd of people waiting for you to tee off and suddenly your time coach changes like that it probably gets quick cure in those circumstances grip pressure increases everything shuffles around a bit more quickly snap snap with the swing and we don't get a good strike you might also get those nerves playing the 18th hole and the pressure in front of us playing a par 3 over water. So the nerves are a problem not hitting the ball quite so far a problem on the inconsistency of the strike. If that sounds like you it may be that your tempo isn't consistent throughout your round or is the wrong time pro for your game and that's why those 3 issues are happening in your golf game.
