Stop Getting Struck by Lightning on the Golf Course!

Posted on March 7, 2017

Are you getting “Struck by Lightning” on the golf course when you are just around the greens. I see golfers every day who appear as if their body actually looks like they are getting struck by lightning when performing a shot around the greens. How does a golfer get to this point? Some call it using a golf club to kill a snake but I like to refer to it as getting struck by lightning. No, I am not talking about the Bishop from the movie Caddy Shack either:)

How does a golfer reach this level of “badness:)” Sometimes it can start with a thought such as “let me try and get under the ball to get the ball in the air.” We all know this is incorrect because making solid contact on the club face and using the already built in loft in the club head is what get the ball in the air. Compressing the golf against the face will help any golfer improve their contact.

The friendly comment of keeping your head down will always do the trick to help a golfer stop moving their body and making a motion to looking like they are having a spasm or going into convulsions. Golfers will top a ball and their friends will say keep your head down:) More than likely, the cause of the top was not the golfer lifting their head during the swing.

In the video below, you are going to find a terrific solution if you are suffering from getting struck by lightning on the golf course!

You can see in my You Tube video above how the golfer can improve their game with this simple drill. If you are suffering from this syndrome use a lighter grip without over accelerating the golf club through impact. A lighter grip will help you move your body and get you in sync with the swinging of the golf club. This is excellent for any golfer to try. It’s a very functional motion and takes the “hit” out of the swing.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions about this video or any of the videos I have on my Jess Frank Golf Academy You Tube page. I love teaching golf and helping the new and average golfer have more fun on the golf course! If you found value in this golf tip please share with your friends. The more golfers we have playing the better it is for everyone!

I’ve taken lessons from several other teachers, and end up with a million thoughts racing through my mind trying to remember so many different tips. With Jess, I took 1 lesson the other day and he was unlike all the other teachers. He focused on my specific concerns, and gave me very simple skills to focus on. Played 18-holes today; had best round ever because I was able to clear my head and focus just on the inside club path and wrist position. Great value and great teacher. Thanks. Can wait for my next lesson!

Jess is a great instructor! As a beginner golfer, I learned a lot in just one lesson. We met at the driving range and he instantly knew how to sculpt the lesson based on my hitting a few balls. I highly recommend and will be returning soon.

Amazing golf coach, the changes in my golf game are incredible! Seriously, if you're looking to improve your game just go see him. His insight and instruction combined with the technology he uses made it extremely easy for me to see and conceptualize what what was going wrong in my golf swing and how to fix it. I wish I could post the videos because it's a night and day difference. Also the swing translates to actual performance. I gained distance without swinging any harder and my shots are way more controlled and consistent. I would recommend Jess to anyone except the 3 guys I golf with, can't let them know about my secret weapon lol. In all seriousness I can't say enough about the value Jess has brought to my golf game. If you're considering a golf coach, you won't find one better.

I started taking golf lessons with Jess Frank a few months ago. I had never golfed before and truly was a beginner. He has greatly helped me with my golf swing and overall game. He is extremely patient and infuses fun into his instruction. I highly recommend lessons at Jess Frank Golf Academy!

Jess is a fantastic individual who provides his clients with excellent golf instruction. On top of that, he is a highly motivated and supportive individual that can work with new and or experienced golfers.He has transformed my golf swing into a much more natural and fluent process. With the help of Jess I have been able to add power to my shot, improve my mechanics, and find more fairways.

I had my first lesson today, and was very pleased. We worked solely on my driver and went from slicing it bad to a baby draw. He not only corrected my over the top but gave me drills to work on when on my own to keep driving it home(which is what I wanted was stuff to practice) Already made my second lesson and then some can’t wait to be back.

Jess is very good at honing in on what one needs to improve their swing; not a complete overhaul or needless focus on elements that wouldn’t make a meaningful impact. I found Jess by asking another golf pro who she thinks is the best teaching pro and why. I’ve taken several lessons from several different pros and rank Jess highly. You’ve come to the right place for golf lessons!

OMGOsh what a happy day! Jess is an AMAZING golf instructor that makes everything runs smoothly and explain everything in detail with so much patience. I can’t thank him enough for making me able to finish my first lesson knowing how to positioning, swing, hold the club and hit the ball correctly. If you looking for a golf instructor that loves what he’s doing and know what he’s doing here’s the BEST ONE!

Jess knows what he's doing and he was able to find results that improved my swing immediately. I'm a "self-taught" golfer and have been inconsistent because I didn't know what was wrong with my swing. Jess helped by showing video of what I was doing to where he wanted me to be. It was a couple of simple fixes - not a complete overhaul and it made a huge difference in my accuracy and contact.This was my first lesson I've ever had and I look forward to continuing to work with Jess to improve my game as he's top-notch at what he does.
