Thanks to the great Michigan weather in the last few weeks I have been able to get outside and practice my golf swing. Since my last post I have immersed myself in a variety of resources to support my learning but there have been a few resources in particular that have helped me out. In general, I am a very visual learner therefore watching videos of other golfers has seemed to be most useful. One great resource in particular that I have gone back to watch multiple times is a YouTube video that breaks down 6 Steps How To Swing The Golf Club For Beginners. Above is an image that I added from the video showing how the golfer, Clay Ballard, not only shows himself breaking it down but adds great visuals which have been useful to me. The challenge thus far has been specifically working on my back swing. This video breaks the swing down into three points. I seem to stop at point two instead of progressing and continuing to bring my swing all the way back to point three where my hands are higher than my head. As I continue to learn and work on achieving this goal I think back to the article from The DIY Girls, it has inspired me to realize that I can take these findings and apply them to not only help better myself but to help better others. The article states that these girls "had never done any hands-on engineering work before, but with the help of YouTube, Google, and trial-and-error, they got it done" (Beckman). I look forward to continuing to golf by using the resources that are available to me and showing you my final product soon. Stay tuned and follow me on @misscook14 ! Before:After:Resources:
