Erratic Golf Swing

Problem

Your takeaway is too quick, causing your swing to become a little erratic at the top.

Cure

Keep tempo nice and smooth.

Therapy

Work on gaining a nice rhythm and gradually build up speed. If you start with too much speed you need to snatch it back on the way down. Then you will need to try and find your timing right from the beginning. So build up the pace right from the beginning. Start with a nice smooth takeaway and transition and drive it through the ball. This is especially difficult to do when you are nervous. So try to breath and slow your heart rate down. Then as you swing, focus on controlling your tempo.

Swing to a tune in your head.Mine is the old Scot's song, "The Skye Boat Song". Slowing down increased both my distance and accuracy with every club in the bag.
