Please forgive the reference to the vintage Pace pecante sauce industrial -- I could not resist. Na Yeon Choi set the Blackwolf Run route on hearth Saturday and, if she doesn't get in advance of herself nowadays, could have an smooth 18-hole walk to her first major. Her sixty five tied the lowest third round ever shot in a U.S. Women's Open, but the wild component is that NYC is, properly... A runt. She's 5' 5" tall however skinny as a bamboo shoot. (I attempted to locate her weight indexed and couldn't. Apparently she's so light that scales do not know she's there.)
I've decided to take a brief have a look at her swing these days and try to help you apprehend why little NYC ripped up one of the longest U.S. Women's Open courses in USGA history. But I even have an ulterior cause. Of course the next day I'll be doing the Limerick Summary...
But earlier in the week I received an email from Dmitri in Bali. Apparently a set of new golfers there's the use of my weblog and books to help them learn to play. I'm constantly amazed at how humans everywhere in the global can read the identical weblog. (Apparently there aren't quite a few English-speaking golfing instructors in Bali. So permit me take a moment to say hello to all my readers in Bali!) Anyway, I'm going to be doing multiple posts on Tuesday and Wednesday to cope with a few questions Dmitri requested regarding pushes and push-slices... And I'll be referring again to NYC's swing.
So first, here is a observe Na Yeon swinging an iron. It's from overdue 2010, but her swing hasn't modified a whole lot except for buying higher.
I feel that the most impressive point in her golf swing is at impact (that's the :13 point in the video) and I'll be coming back to that in the Tuesday post. But right now I'd like you to see how quiet her swing is. By that I mean that there's no excess movement when she swings back or when she swings through. If you drew a line from her heel straight through to the base of her skull, she stays right on that line all the way to the top of her backswing. (Her right hip is moving back away from the ball, but she doesn't move sideways.) There is no sliding sideways away from the ball or leaning backward. This puts her in a good position to start down.
Likewise, at the manner down her movement is confined. It looks like she movements plenty as her weight shifts forward, but that's a bit misleading. I'll be talking more about that Tuesday due to the fact I want to provide an explanation for exactly why she looks like she's moving extra than she genuinely is. At any rate, take a look at how balanced she appears as she hits the ball. For now, in case you just area your mouse pointer over the bottom of her neck at address -- in case you area it where her collar buttons are, you will be in the front of her backbone -- you may see that her head would not move nearly as a whole lot as you would possibly first think. That method she stays focused over the ball throughout her swing.
When you live that consistent over the ball, you'll make right touch time after time after time. You're going to hit the ball at impact within the same course you aimed it at address. It's that simple. Na Yeon outplayed anyone else at Blackwolf Run because she hit the ball wherein she become aiming it... And she or he hit it solidly in the wind.
Can she do this once more these days while the stress's on? I do not know... But I guess the rest of the sphere hopes she can't. Because if she does, she may win by 10 or 12 strokes.
