How to Fix Your Golf Swing Tempo (Beginner Tip)’

Struggling with your golf swing? You might be swinging too fast.

One of the most common mistakes golfers make—especially beginners—is rushing the swing. When your tempo gets too quick, everything breaks down.

Here’s a simple tip from Ron Shea:

👉 Slow… and smooth wins every time.

What This Means for Your Swing

Most golfers try to hit the ball too hard, and that’s where things go wrong.

When your swing gets too fast, you lose balance, timing, and control. That leads to mishits, slices, and inconsistent shots.

The key is simple:

👉 Slow down your swing and stay smooth through the ball

You don’t need more power—you need better tempo.

Focus on this during your next round:

• Start your backswing slower than feels natural
• Keep your transition smooth, not rushed
• Finish your swing in balance
