Golf Swing Clinc


This morning I was waching a re-run of the ING Golf Show on sky and caught the background on the AUT Golf Swing Clinic where it show cased specialised training and coaching in regards to all facets of the golf game from putting, chipping, course management and more. What sold me on the idea is that the golfer shown in the program is a guy I know who works at Golf Downunder, a regular shop I visit frequently and where I've spent most of my money recently. Jaq as noted by the shop owner Regan is said to be a very talented golfer who should soon turn pro. What they were able to show him at the clinic is by wearing a special set of goggles the goler is able to view a tiny small screen that relays an image from a camcorder in real time showing various views of the actual golfer. The camcorder can be placed at any angle eg. in front or to the rear so the person wearing the goggles can visually see exactly what they are doing at each stage of their swing. What Jaq was able to see in his own swing is that his club face was coming into the body too close so with this new tool can correct his swing by seeing where it is in relation to his body position. An amazing tool as any golfer can tell you, as when you stand over the ball you can't see any part of the swing which is why we need a coach to view and break it down. In past they have recorded the image and then replayed it back on a tv screen for analysis which you then need to take back and try and rectify. With this new training tool you can cover all of that during the swing checking position's and alignment to the body, club and ball.
The golf clinic has training lessons focussed on all groups from beginner, intermediate to advanced levels of golf.
This is something I am most interested in checking out for myself and after talking to Jaq later today will arrange an appointment to check my swing.
