| Tempo Made Easy
Here's one I always try to keep in mind, starting with warm up on the range because it sets the tone for the whole round.
Simple as it might sound, all you have to do is count 1-2, 3. (I was educated in Kentucky and I can count to 3, so no excuses out there!)
1 and 2 are the beats of the backswing, remember it's supposed to be slow with a hesitation at the top, right? And then 3 is the forward swing. If you prefer, make 3 the downswing and count to 4 on the follow through. The point is, it's most important to maintain the 1-2 aspect... 3 tends to come a bit more naturally.
Repeat this tempo to yourself a few times as you approach the range, again on the tee, as you approach each shot... and soon the tempo will imprint itself on you and you'll be swinging smoother.
