THE MOST COMMON FAULTS IN GOLF

Some golfing faults are due to erroneous concepts, but most are the direct result of an omission-a failure to do some essential maneuver of part of the swing. As a consequence, the player is forced into a distortion which develops an error that the player neither intended nor is at all conscious of doing. In such a situation, professional guidance and advice can be most helpful.

Failure to shift weight

The most common fault, by far, is the failure to shift one's weight properly. Only one out of ten pupils seems to have any sense of footwork or any understanding of its importance. Carrying out this 10% average to the 200 or 300 golfers who constitute an average country club, you will find 20 or 30 golfers there who possess the quality of footwork that is the basic requisite for good golf.

These 20 or 30 golfers can, as a result of this footwork ability, maneuver themselves into a position where they can utilize their bodies in making golf shots. They will have a natural sense of power and consistency to enable them to score in the 70's or 80's. The remaining 90% of the players in the club will be

(a) plagued with a loss of distance so that they cannot possibly reach the greens in two shots-they take three shots, sometimes four to get on the green, so their scores automatically go into the 90 and over range.

(b) players without any sense of club control, a class of golfers who not only lack power but also clubhead control, so the ball goes hither and yon. In this category we have the golfers who score in the high 90's and over 100.

I hope this analysis will explain why certain scores happen. I further hope that it will arouse sufficient interest so that players recognizing these deficiencies will seek advice on correcting them. continue the most common faults in golf...
