Player Lesson With Beverle Ostrofsky: Gain Control of Your Golf Swing Fast With Basic Skills

The Summer of Great Golf continues! Join the Greatness via this link 👉 https://gleam.io/wzjsW/improvement-prize-pack

When Mike started working with Beverle, the golf swing was a mystery to her. Her history of body control with dance helped, but Mike provided her the key exercises for golfers at any level related to face control.

Tiger Woods, Bob Toski, Bryson DeChambeau, and more are incredible players because of the countless hours they spend learning to control the club face.

Basic skills improve your golf swing and golf scores immediately, and let’s hope your next instructor provides you with the right tasks suited for your game.

so now your best score you’ve shot below 100 yes that’s spectacular do you know how many people never break a 100 that’s sad are they seeing you no that’s that’s a good ad we’re off a tea you got your grip I do yeah that’s good you’re doing you’re doing better with that just a little short shot where let your wrist hinge put the club face on the ball good job little right good job one more so see if you can make one go a little left okay mhm that’s spectacular that was a little left okay now let’s talk about one other thing that you tend to do remember we talked about got to keep your arms away from you keep the club away from you I know I know I can do that make a practice swing there you go keep this keep this away from you okay so your whole goal is to keep there we go oh my gosh don’t do that whatever you do don’t do that let’s go nice and easy easy easy nice and easy back just run it into the ball doing that keep it away go little bit behind it no no no no spectacular what else you got in that bag of I want you to see I want to see you do that again all right let’s go cuz there’s basically there’s just watching you here when you come out and you haven’t hit balls and I haven’t seen you for a while as soon as I see you make a cup oh my goodness all right now if I was around you fulltime if you didn’t do that in your practice swing I’d throw something at you or I’d stop you and I’d say whoa whoa whoa wait a minute because we got program the lever and the club away from you every time you make a swing because those are the two things you didn’t do there you go and when you do that you turn better yeah okay okay okay nice and easy yeah I agree that was kind of on my measuring scale of 1 to 10 that was about a five the one before was actually B there you go keep the club away from you I’m going to move my body all right all right hands right body there you go we’re back yes we are now what’s interesting is when we started there wasn’t a chance in hell you could pull that off you didn’t have you know the sense of where the club was you know it was just kind of halfhazard at best TR now you’re getting to where we’ve done a couple of things you you do them but you kind of forget you get you get focused on one you forget the other one those two things this lever system and how your grip works and keeping the club away from you for you is by far the most important things we can do this we can can you remember the first lesson we had vaguely I remember like it was yesterday first of all you said I can’t do this you did you did did I don’t like this I can’t do it and so then it became you had to go to some place I don’t remember where it was but it was nothing to do with what we were doing we had to talk and sing at the same time yes we did so now your best score you’ve shot below 100 yes that’s spectacular do you know how many people never break a 100 that’s sad are they seeing you no that’s that’s a good ad now we put I know that was awesome now we put a little time between it let’s see if you can duplicate what you did all right let’s see yeah good no that was good now what happened to the ball so where was the no you pulled you hooked it left whatever didn’t push it left you push push it to the right okay so it went to the left what made it go to the left called face okay so the face was a little closed when you hit it so what are you going to do on this one keep it Square all right so make a practice swing and feel the difference in the face through the ball there you go all right come on up here so we’re going to try to hit this one straight or a little to the right so you’re going to change your feel for the face hitting the ball like that now that was absolutely perfect with the face but your back swing broke down you felt it I did okay so this is how we practice now we go between control the ball structure and your swing control the ball structure and your swing it doesn’t matter what club it is that’s what that’s what we just keep working on all right now I got a question for you ask good uh about what is it 6 years ago about about you came to a clinic that I did you had never played golf or or you hadn’t played much M you didn’t like it no I didn’t you didn’t want to play now other than my marvelous personality and beautiful blue eyes why did you decide you were going to take a lesson well I came to your clinic because my friends pressured me to come okay because everyone was doing it they said you have to do this with that coyote behind you and um I said well okay I’ll go and so that was the beginning of it and then I listened to you and I thought we spoke the same language okay so I thought well I’ll give it a shot maybe he can teach me we’ll see and so that’s what led me to that and now now you’re playing a lot more a lot more and you have fun with it I have a blast now what would you tell if you were going to say okay ladies you’re not 30 you’re a little older a little bit and you haven’t played a lot of sports which you didn’t none which is amazing to me play no Sports and how okay so you had body awareness I had body awareness what value or what what what first of all what kept you from doing it in the first place time okay my place in life with my children things like that I just didn’t want to devote the time to it and um so what happened was when I started taking with you I really had to segment the game into long ball short game putting because they’re three separate games to me they are and so I work on certain things at certain times perfect and so you spoke my language and you really taught me how to play golf and now you’re starting to actually so now you’re enjoying it I have fun with it yeah have a lot ofun see I want you see you that’s what see I think most people whether it be a guy or girl whoever it is when they come to the game late they don’t think they’re not going to be very good so they can’t have fun now Goods an interesting term yes it is what does that mean so you came to the game wanting to have fun and now you can hit it you I mean you just hit shots there where we’re hooking them to the left hitting them to the right changing what your swing on so you’ve got a lot of awareness so you can have fun with it I love to have fun with it and I ended up um being in charge of our nine hleer group because I knew how those women felt that are starting the game they don’t want to go out and play they’re embarrassed they don’t have any shots and it has to be fun so you engage them and you make it fun for them to be in just entering the game yeah not so good it’s okay who cares let’s just get out and hit the ball so that’s that’s SAU that’s and here we are today and here we are today
