For the last several weeks I have been talking about golf and the components that make it up. Today I will conclude my posts regarding the general breakdown of golf and the physical attributes needed for success.
So, first was on mental preparation as you move towards the ball. Next was on the shoulder and it's importance, last week was on the hips and what they do, now it's on the synchronous execution of all of these parts and the success you will generate with them.
Without focus and clarity, your game is going to be terrible. Healthy shoulders will allow for the proper follow-through of your swing. Healthy hips will for the ball to fly with ease. But if you consistently break these into individual parts, you will fail.
Your body is so much more than parts. It's an orchestra of reaction and action that when one part is not functioning properly, the rest will fail with it. So it's more than strength, endurance, flexibility, focus, and knowledge...it's all those sections combined to provide you with movement and success.
When one part fails, the body will try to work around it, but it's not the same. Have you ever tried to take a shot with a hurt shoulder? You can, but your focus is off because you don't want to make it worse. But we are often too stubborn to acknowledge our weakness or inabilities.
Our bodies in golf and in other activities work in harmony within itself. We are greater than parts and often no less than such. Train the mind, body, and soul and you shall achieve success on the course and in life
Work in harmonious execution.
