Golf swing problem?

Golf coaches and players try to get it right the first time but invariably end up spending a lot of time trying to correct technique faults and bad habits that somehow develop.

Once established, habit pattern errors like technique faults are hard to correct and can make a player uncompetitive and can lead to a career-threatening performance slump.

The typical advice to practice skill drills and train hard is usually not very effective. The player may appear to improve during training but repeatedly falls back to old ways under pressure of competition.

Transfer of training from skills coaching sessions and practice drills to competition is consequently poor.

Transition training, required when the player has to change over to a new code, new equipment, new techniques or new rules, presents similar adjustment difficulties. Old habits die hard.

Fortunately, a coaching science discovery called Old Way New Way^® Learning offers:

(1) a new perspective on the transfer of training problem in golf.

(2) a fast and practical method of golf skill development.

(3) a cost-effective and user-friendly method for rapid golf skill and technique correction and habit eradication.
