Okay, so yesterday I was messing around, trying to figure out how to better my golf swing. I stumbled across this name, “John Bailey Golfer,” and figured, hey, why not dig in and see what this guy is all about?
First thing I did was hop onto YouTube. Searched “John Bailey Golfer swing tips” and BOOM, tons of videos popped up. Started watching a few, just kinda skimming to get a feel for his style. He’s got a pretty straightforward approach, no fancy jargon, which I liked right off the bat.
Next, I checked out his website. He seemed to focus a lot on the fundamentals – grip, stance, alignment. Stuff I know I need to work on. He had some drills listed, so I grabbed my club and headed out to the backyard. Figured I could at least try a few of these.
I started with the grip drill he recommended. Basically, just making sure my hands are in the right position. I’ve always struggled with a strong grip, so I really focused on getting it more neutral. Did that for like, 15 minutes, just repping the grip over and over.
Then, I moved onto the stance and alignment stuff. Used a club on the ground to make sure my feet were aligned properly. I noticed immediately that I was standing too far from the ball. Adjusted that, and it felt weird at first, but I could see the difference in my swing path.
After that, I tried a few slow-motion swings, focusing on keeping my back straight and my weight balanced. It felt super awkward at first, but I kept at it. I recorded myself on my phone to see if I was actually doing it right. Turns out, I wasn’t as good as I thought I was!
So, I watched the video back, made some adjustments, and tried again. After a few tries, it started to feel a little more natural. Not perfect, but definitely better than before.
I didn’t hit any actual balls, just worked on the form stuff. Figured I needed to nail the basics before I started whacking away again. I’ll probably head to the driving range tomorrow and see how it translates to hitting real shots.
Overall, I’d say it was a pretty productive practice session. John Bailey Golfer seems like he knows his stuff. His tips are easy to understand and actually seem to work. I’ll definitely be checking out more of his videos and drills in the future.
Key takeaways from today:
- Grip is super important. Gotta get that right first.
- Alignment matters more than I thought.
- Slow-motion swings are a great way to work on form.
- Record yourself! You’ll see things you wouldn’t otherwise.
Now, to see if this actually improves my game… that’s the real test! Wish me luck!
