Okay, so I got curious about Nelly Korda’s measurements – not in a creepy way, I promise! More like, how does her physique contribute to that killer golf swing? I’m a bit of a golf nerd myself, and I’m always looking for ways to improve my own game. So, I decided to do a little digging.
My Investigation Begins
First, I scoured the internet. You know, the usual places – official LPGA profiles, fan sites, maybe even some random forums. It’s amazing what you can find with a little persistence (and the right search terms!). I mostly looked for publicly available info, Nothing stalker-ish, I swear!.
Putting the Pieces Together
- I started with her height. That’s usually pretty easy to find. I think this can be important to know to know how I can learn from her stature.
- Then I tried to estimate things like her wingspan, maybe her shoulder width. This is where it got tricky, because that kind of info isn’t exactly posted on billboards.
- I compared images of her swing, to the golf swing of other LPGA players.
- I focused on how she uses her body, because the power needs to come from somewhere.
What I (Think) I Found
It was harder than I thought! It’s not like these details are readily available. But after comparing photos, and articles and reading a bunch of stuff,I put my hand over some info.
The Takeaway
It was a fun little project, and honestly, it reminded me that even the pros have unique physical attributes. It’s not about being exactly like Nelly Korda, it’s about understanding how different body types can generate power and consistency. It has really helped me make my game better, I feel like I have way more control.
