How a golf swing can change the way we laugh, cry, and play
It’s about time Michael Campbell thought about a change.
When an existing process of swing is changed and replaced with something completely new to the golfer then it’s a phase of transitional change for the player.
For Campbell his entire golfing career has changed dramatically this spell and has thus revived him from the shady corners of malfunction, all owing to the well known, Gary Edwin.
Recently, the forty-one year old has accredited the distinguished Australian coach and has given him the honour of being the sole reason his career has taken a complete u-turn. Therefore, the former winner of the US Open champion holds Gary Edwin in a great deal of respect.
The results were quite obvious at previous week’s Australian Open, where the golfer ended in the 12th place. With his swings and drives now being played in a more efficient way the golfer from New Zealand has stepped out of the dark and into a life of poise and good sense.
The main reason why Campbell’s performances made the fans and critics go fanatical was due to his inability to make the halfway cut for almost two years.
Campbell was aware of the issue and when he emerged on the field with a new attacking swing a new coach and a successive halfway cut almost everyone at the Australian PGA Championship were left baffled.
Why the change? It was the golfer’s inability to make 43 cuts out of a total count of 45 events he played along with his powerlessness to break the 80. That was before Campbell attained the 28th place at last month's Australian Masters.
Not that he has been in the letdown always ‘Campo’ was the winner of the 2005 majors and was the esteemed holder of the European Tour player of the year title. With the Australian Masters ending Campbell had been just more than worried about his swings and that was when he came across Gary Edwin at the Victoria Club.
“I asked him about my way and I got to know about his views they changed my play dramatically”, Campbell said.
With Edwin helping Campbell, he learnt to become more comfortable with his swing and brought a new sense of confidence to his game. This made all the difference. Campbell currently stands at T25 and has carded a 78 in the third round of the Australian PGA Championship, scheduled till the 12th of this month. Campbell has been able to card a 72 in the first round of the event and a 64, for the $270,000 prize money race.
