Although the ball never moves, virtually everything else during a golf swing. In fact, the most active part of your body during your golf swing is actually your brain.
The best way for an individual of my limited mental capacity to understand how our brain works in a golf swing is to realize that for the purposes of swinging a golf club, our brain is not one big brain, but a million little ones. Each small brain has a specific job while working in conjunction with the rest of the other brains.
For example, the brain that controls the right index finger works in conjunction with the rest of the brains that control the right hand. They in turn work with the other brains that control the other body parts involved with the activity. So in a sense we swing the golf club by committee. If you try to take that line of logic one step further, I guess it would be fair to say that the best way to swing a golf club is to not start a fight within the committee.
Without question, the most frequent instigator of the battles that occur within the committee of brains responsible for swinging the golf club is the eyes. We call it “visual interference.” Rather than swing the club in circle around our body, our vision perceives a straight line to the target, and we route the club on the perceived straight line to the target. This always causes a mis-hit shot. The solution to this problem is to not allow the eyes to interfere once the club is in motion. Don’t try to steer the club to the target. Swing the golf club through the ball and let the club face take care of direction.
