00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.460
in this golf smart insight I'm going to

00:00:02.460 --> 00:00:04.170
talk about why fall is my favorite

00:00:04.170 --> 00:00:07.470
season two may swing changes okay for

00:00:07.470 --> 00:00:10.260
most of us deciding when to make a swing

00:00:10.260 --> 00:00:12.690
change is a complicated issue you know

00:00:12.690 --> 00:00:14.969
I've got kind of tournaments I've got

00:00:14.969 --> 00:00:18.150
the whole ability to practice and I've

00:00:18.150 --> 00:00:21.000
got my time constraints so what ends up

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.400
happening is a lot of golfers spring

00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:26.160
comes around and I now have time to

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.050
practice but i also have time to play so

00:00:28.050 --> 00:00:29.699
i'm practicing a lot i'm playing a lot

00:00:29.699 --> 00:00:31.320
and before I know what my tournaments or

00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.020
upon me well when I come back out you

00:00:34.020 --> 00:00:36.390
know I have all this rust that's kind of

00:00:36.390 --> 00:00:38.610
built up over the winter so in the

00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:40.079
beginning it just kind of I'm getting

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:42.390
used to finding my swing again and then

00:00:42.390 --> 00:00:45.149
I'm playing a lot so if I make a swing

00:00:45.149 --> 00:00:47.190
change my scores are going to suffer and

00:00:47.190 --> 00:00:49.379
I'll be embarrassed because my body is a

00:00:49.379 --> 00:00:51.989
laugh at me so and then I've got these

00:00:51.989 --> 00:00:54.690
looming either trips or tournaments and

00:00:54.690 --> 00:00:57.449
all that builds this extra stress which

00:00:57.449 --> 00:00:59.430
makes it hard to commit to changes which

00:00:59.430 --> 00:01:00.660
makes it hard to put in enough

00:01:00.660 --> 00:01:03.600
repetitions for them to actually work so

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:05.220
the fall in the winter i think is the

00:01:05.220 --> 00:01:07.799
hot spot for most amateurs to make their

00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:09.930
swing changes and here's a couple of

00:01:09.930 --> 00:01:13.110
reasons why one you don't have any

00:01:13.110 --> 00:01:15.390
tournaments coming up so you'll be less

00:01:15.390 --> 00:01:18.150
worried if you're having a bad day

00:01:18.150 --> 00:01:20.250
because you're you're making progress

00:01:20.250 --> 00:01:21.900
you're working on something that builds

00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:25.590
long-term results that's the major one

00:01:25.590 --> 00:01:28.740
but here's kind of the major or the one

00:01:28.740 --> 00:01:32.700
be if that's the one a practicing on the

00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:35.130
golf course is one of the best ways to

00:01:35.130 --> 00:01:38.070
work on transferring a skill into your

00:01:38.070 --> 00:01:41.610
actual game so what happens in the fall

00:01:41.610 --> 00:01:44.340
is the golf courses tend to slow down so

00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:46.710
when out the course that I was a member

00:01:46.710 --> 00:01:49.590
at I could easily go there and play a

00:01:49.590 --> 00:01:52.920
twilight round for cheap rates and I

00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.979
would hit five six balls from the middle

00:01:55.979 --> 00:01:59.490
of the fairway and or from a punch shot

00:01:59.490 --> 00:02:01.439
or from a chip shot I would hit multiple

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:03.450
balls on the course and these little

00:02:03.450 --> 00:02:05.909
walks in between would give me time to

00:02:05.909 --> 00:02:07.680
kind of think about it and process it

00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.560
and then start over again it's the

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.569
complete opposite of the rapid-fire

00:02:12.569 --> 00:02:13.870
structure that most

00:02:13.870 --> 00:02:15.549
people do on the range and that

00:02:15.549 --> 00:02:18.040
rapid-fire thing just doesn't work it's

00:02:18.040 --> 00:02:20.530
kind of like cramming for a test gives

00:02:20.530 --> 00:02:22.780
you real short-term results but you

00:02:22.780 --> 00:02:24.180
don't learn anything in the long run

00:02:24.180 --> 00:02:27.069
practicing on the golf course can give

00:02:27.069 --> 00:02:29.769
you some real long-term achievements and

00:02:29.769 --> 00:02:32.040
help you build real solid motor patterns

00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:35.500
so i think that the fall is the best

00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:37.060
time to make these swing changes and the

00:02:37.060 --> 00:02:39.579
best time to practice because you're

00:02:39.579 --> 00:02:41.349
going to have time on the course you're

00:02:41.349 --> 00:02:44.650
going to have a lot less stress and the

00:02:44.650 --> 00:02:47.459
combination of those two seems to build

00:02:47.459 --> 00:02:51.099
the recipe for for real good improvement

00:02:51.099 --> 00:02:52.870
and the fun thing is there's still

00:02:52.870 --> 00:02:55.239
enough nice days that you get to go out

00:02:55.239 --> 00:02:56.980
and play on the course with your buddies

00:02:56.980 --> 00:02:59.349
and see the effects of these changes

00:02:59.349 --> 00:03:01.299
that you're making which helps you buy

00:03:01.299 --> 00:03:03.310
into it which then helps your brain

00:03:03.310 --> 00:03:05.859
commit to it and then over the winter I

00:03:05.859 --> 00:03:07.780
think there's a process that's almost

00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:10.030
like defragging the computer where it

00:03:10.030 --> 00:03:12.970
reorganizes and actually reinforces the

00:03:12.970 --> 00:03:16.030
good things more than the bed so get out

00:03:16.030 --> 00:03:18.220
there enjoy the fall practice on the

00:03:18.220 --> 00:03:20.200
golf course and start building the swing

00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:21.639
that you're going to be able to enjoy in

00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.090
the spring
