The Latest in Golf Instruction There are several key ingredients to becoming the best player you can be.  These ingredients revolve around developing consistency, efficiency, and repeatability of your golf swing.  I would like to focus on two of these which relate to new and exciting instruction opportunities for you here at Kingsmill.  The first is the Physical aspect.  This includes your fitness, posture, nutrition, hydration and the balance of rest and activity.  We have developed new and exciting programs to address the physical aspects of your game.  Have you ever wondered why you have difficulty eliminating the slice from your game?  There are now exercises you can do in the off-season to eliminate this silly slice.  The second is the Technical aspect.  This includes your swing, grip, stance, aim, fundamentals, and ball and club fitting.  In utilizing the K-Vest, which is a wireless 3-D motion analysis system that effectively monitors body and club movement throughout the golf swing, we can apply specific drills and strategies to make you a more consistent player.  The Physical and Technical aspect of you game play an important role in you developing consistency, efficiency, and repeatability of your golf swing.  I encourage all of you to take advantage of the latest in golf instruction technology that is available here at Kingsmill to help improve your own game throughout this winter.
