The Slow-Motion Walk Up

Chris, a good junior golfer, came for a lesson. He complained that his swing gave him trouble when he “got quick at the top.” That usually refers to an especially quick start to the downswing. It sometimes reflects a premature transition, starting the downswing before the backswing is complete. He showed me his swing routine, how he approached and set up to the ball, then how he swung. He fairly charged up to address the ball. I asked about his pace of play on the course. He said, “Fast. I can’t wait to get to the ball and hit it.”
