The Follow Through and Finish

Timing and co-ordination-The eight o'clock position- Give yourself time-The "Apex" of the swing-Swinging and stopping-Hit into and along a line-Swing-and-stop exercise

  The game of golf is very much a battle between the conscious and the sub-conscious mind.  You can think of making a position. You can think of making a shape to the swing.  But the blending of a delivery into that shape must be done by training the hands and the club head to react subconsciously, that is, by imitating the intention which is portrayed in your practice swing.

  If a player is so absorbed in the delivery that he is over-eager to make it, when he is at the top of the swing his reflexes take over.  His intention races too far ahead of time and the action is doomed to be rushed and distorted.  Hence the time-worn phrase, "hitting from the top".

  Many who remain poor players, despairing of making any marked progress, keep themselves in the toils for two main reasons, they are afraid to turn their backs on the target in the backswing and far too anxious to get the club back to the ball in the return movement.

  You must train yourself to make a delivery at the golf ball within the framework of a shaped golf swing by subconsciously sensing the action involved.  With many players the swing is blacked out from the time they have taken the club head back a few feet from the ball until the stroke has been played for better or worse, usually worse.

  It is one thing to acquire a shaped golf swing which brings you to the poised position at the top of the backswing and then through into the follow-through and finish as already described in this website.  But this in itself is not sufficient.  The striking of the golf ball demands more than the making of one end at the top of the golf swing and coming down and through to the other end (the finish) in the vague belief that something will happen in the middle.
