DLGA'ers Finish Strong on LPGA

Holding off some of the biggest names in women's golf including 4 fellow David Leadbetter Golf Academy students, unheralded Hee Young Park won the CME Group Titleholders on Sunday for her first career LPGA title. Hee Young is coached by DLGA's Andrew Park.

The impressive leaderboard was stacked with DLGA students taking 5 of the top 6 spots in the tour's final event of 2011.

Park, with a closing 70, finished at 9-under-par 279 to beat Paula Creamer and Sandra Gal (also coached by DLGA's Andrew Park) by two shots at sun-splashed Grand Cypress Resort to win the LPGA tour's season-ending event. Another shot back were Na Yeon Choi (Kevin Smeltz) and world No. 2 Suzann Pettersen (David Leadbetter). Michelle Wie (David Leadbetter), world No. 3 Cristie Kerr and world No. 1 Yani Tseng, trying to win for the 12th time this season, made brief runs at the championship before finishing in a tie for sixth, seven shots behind.

"I still cannot believe this," Park said. "On the back nine I was getting like nervous and then getting tight in my body. So my caddie said, 'Just keep going, keep trying to (play) like (it's the) first round. You're on the tee first time each hole, and just keep doing the same thing.' And then I said 'OK.' "

Improve Your Swing Efficiency! Part 3

DavidLeadbetterInstructorTimMitchell3The final element to making your golf swing of the day work for you is making sure your golf ball starts on the correct line. A hula hoop (or at least the ability to envision one) will really help you with this exercise.

So why the hula hoop? It's an easier way to explain the swing plane, which in simple terms is a circle that you are trying to swing your golf club upon around your body.

Developing Confidence in the Classroom

alphabet-chalkboard.jpgLong before we head to the practice range or the first tee, I usually start my mental game sessions sitting down with my golfers and I try to find out as much as I can about how they feel about competition, playing against and with others, what they have accomplished in the past, and how they deal with pressure. This oftentimes leads to a fascinating discussion of past events and gives me a good insight into the psychological profile of the person.

Improve Your Swing Efficiency! Part 2

DavidLeadbetterInstructorTimMitchell2So now that you've managed to process the information about your impact position with the drill from Part 1, how many of you returned your clubface to match up perfectly parallel to the two by four, and therefore have a square clubface at impact? For those of you who didn't (most of us) you can bet on having a lot of side spin IF your timing is off. Yes...even if the clubface is not square, you still can hit it straight...but it takes some pretty fancy recovery motions that can break down when your rhythm is off.

So how can you make your clubface dynamically (through motion) square to your swing of the day?

Improve Your Swing Efficiency! Part 1

DavidLeadbetterInstructorTimMitchellGolf is such an incredibly evil...oops, I meant to say difficult game. One day you have it mastered, the next day your athleticism seems better suited for folding origami figurines. The crazy and hard thing to believe...your golf swing didn't change over night into Mr. Unreliable. The most probable cause, your timing is simply off. Maybe you're a little sore from a challenging work out, or your range of motion is limited because you slept funny, or you had one adult cocktail too many the night before!

Regardless, how can you make your swing work more efficiently for your next round? The simple answer to that question is to understand impact.

Inside the Mind of a Mental Game Expert

DrBobWinters.jpgAs a sport psychologist, one of my priorities when I work with a golfer who is having trouble is to find out why something is happening and how to correct the situation. Call me if you will a golfing detective.

It just happens to be a bit harder to detect clues that will uncover the answer for renewed confidence when you are working on one's cognitive and emotional elements versus the physical ones. That is, I cannot hook up a video camera and detect a suppressed issue that has been lingering for a number of years which affects one's movement and trust.
