Practice Makes Perfect...Or Does it?
Heather Gilchrist, MPT/ATC/MGS

We have all heard
that “practice makes perfect”, but a better way to put it is that
only perfect practice makes perfect. It is absolutely
critical to the betterment of your golf game that every aspect of
your training and conditioning be technically correct. If you go to
the range and hit a bucket of balls using inefficient movement
patterns and mechanical compensations, you only become more
proficient at a poor swing.
Muscles “remember” repetitive
movementsso your brain doesn’t have to work as hard to coordinate
them each time. Ideally, the golf swing becomes a more of a reflex
than a consciously organized effort. Depending on the practice, one
can have a beautifully consistent and safe swing, or become trapped
and fight habits that are hard to overcome.
With that in mind, it is easy to
understand the importance of seeking technical instruction from a
PGA pro on the range, as well as engaging in strength and
conditioning under the direct supervision of a health professional
certified in golf-specific training. At
SpineCare,
Inc., we use a wide variety of resistance and cardiovascular
training machines as well as the latest golf-specific equipment,
training techniques and drills to ensure the perfect practice
that results in a stronger body and better game. For more

Safe and Happy Golfing!
