Improve Your Golf Swing with a Pool Noodle

Did you know that pool noodles can be used for all sorts of things around your house, for instance, wreaths, backyard obstacle courses for the kids, and baby mobiles? When frostbite is a danger and your cleats sink six inches into the snow, a pool noodle can help you improve your golf swing. Here's how:.

You can perform this drill using a pool noodle and a piece of conduit (a pipe or tube through which something, such as water or wire) passes (which you may have to purchase at your local hardware store if you don't already have one).

Place the conduit in the ground at angle and stick a pool noodle on it. For the correct angle, get into a comfortable swing position and make sure you top of your head touches the pool noodle. The pool noodle acts as a guide to keep your head from coming up. While that's not the source of the problem, it's mainly from other moving parts of your body that cause your head to rise or lower. By keeping your head steady, you will have a smoother and more accurate swing.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind while practicing: · Practice a smooth swing - tempo is very important!

· Lag the golf club - keep the club from coming up over the top.

· Stay over the ball - don't let your body come up.

· Another tip would be to video tape your swing. If you see a playback from another point of view, it will help point out the flaws in your swing.

If you realize you don't have any pool noodles, visit B&B Pools in Hellertown, PA.
