Natural Golf Breathing

"....but lizards breath mostly as if their lives depended."

Douglas Livingston

One greatly neglected aspect of life is the most important of them all: breathing. You do it automatically, so what's the fuss about, right?

Well, focused breathing is a little something that can relax you, energise you and add power to your swing. To relax yourself, before you even set up, take two or three slow, deep breaths that fill your stomach. Exhale slowly. This will free your shoulders of tension and clear your mind. Now you are ready to focus on the shot.

Take deep breaths and exhale slowly before each shot. You will soon begin to notice the improvement in the quality of your game...simply because, relaxed, you will enjoy the round more!

Enjoy!!!

I think the changes have given me freedom to move my hips faster on the downswing, increasing my distance as much as 10%, and I recommend them. At address most golfers will turn the left foot about 30° to the left. When i tried this particular stance i always felt that my hip turn was being checked too soon and that as a consequence I was losing power. My left foot is now turned out 45°. In addition, I have moved my right foot forward just a little so that my stance is a slightly open one, rather than closed as is more conventional. Thus I set up like a boxer who is about to throw a long right hand punch and who must get his body completely out of the way if he expects to hit his opponent hard. On the downswing i am able, like the boxer, to ach...
