The mother of all 'misleading terms' in golf is that you must keep your 'head down or still'. Golfers are given this advice on Driving ranges and golf course all around the world,resulting in restrictive and unnatural body movements,which can cause injury when perfected let alone poorly executed golf-shots!
What i want to know is how this piece of advise orginated,but i have an inkling. It doesn't help matters when great players advise you to keep your head still in instuctional books/mags,which just goes to prove that great players do not neccessary make great coaches!
Somes years back they measured Greg Norman's spine movement during the golf-swing using computers,his spine moved 8cm on the backswing and then 25cm on the follow-thru to the finish position! Now correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the head connected to the spine,so it has to move,now i'm not saying you move you head on purpose, just that it has to 'go with the flow' which is a more natural unrestrictive body-movement resulting in better golf-shots being struck,its logical as well as putting less stress on your back! I will elaborate more on this subject in future blogs!
