The Best way for Senior Golfers to Focus on Target (Video) - by Dean Butler

Okay, so I want you to focus on the target. So just imagine, you have got a golf shot and look at what you are face with, I want you to get you around the golf course. This is more like course management, so just imagine, you most probably would have reached for that 7-iron initially and just thought that's what it's going to be. I play this course every single week, but I want you to think about it. Think about what you are faced with, think about the distance, so get that information and then from that select your club, rather than reaching for the club that you think it is.

This is going to improve your game, don't forget, so think about what you are faced with and then from that, select that golf club. So that's the first thing I want you to do. The second thing is when you have got the club in your hand, I want you to feel, think about that feel of that club, the feel zone. Just feel the length of the swing that you are going to need to produce that golf shot. Remember, we’ve selected the club, but what about the length of the swing, how far up, do you want to pitch that ball, in the front, in the mid, the long, whatever so feel the swing. But too many people get the club out, and don't even have a practice swing, which freaks me out to be quite honest with you. Have a few swings, get the feel of that swing. And remember, you know if you don't take care of how you approach this ball, well how can you expect that shot to be going where you want it to go, you can't. So think about this, so once you have got that club in your hand and you have got that feel, you have got the measure of what you want to do, the first thing is we want to go into playing the zone. The play zone is basically where you have got all the information is now a case of right, this is it and the dress rehearsal is finished. We are going to approach this ball now, we have picked the marker out, this is where you have put everything that you have practiced into position. Now remember, everything we have done so far is all about selecting the club, selecting the length of the swing, now it's all about play zone. There is the marker on line for the target, here we go, one word, commit. So from here, good result. So think about that, think about those different zones, that we have talked about, very, very important, it's all about course management. And this is where you are going to save shots in the golf course. Don't just keep pulling the club up, because that’s what I played last week, think about what is face and I'm going to promise you, you will start to see the results, you will see those scores reduced, because you're going to save shots. 2013-10-28
