Wevery time. This helps you stay in the groove on the good days and can help you calm down on the not-so-good days.

STAY BALANCED

Amy Bush, UNLV Women’s Golf Coach (1)

Each year we have the opportunity to play in a variety of golf tournaments around the United States, in many different weather conditions, things
beyond our control. Before each round, I discuss the few items a golfer can control.

Balance- When discussing balance, we mean where your weight is positioned for the start of your swing.
Tension- This is the tension in your hands (grip) and throughout your body. Tension is important to note in a golf swing.
Tempo- Good tempo is the motion throughout the golf swing, and for golfers it is important to keep the tempo consistent on each swing.
So, the next time you tee it up, remember to be aware of your balance, tension and tempo.
