SQUEEZE AND SWING

ut of a rather dry discussion on how to cure a slice came this provocative pearl from my fellow blogger, Canadian Golf Gal, aka Gail Moss: “Squeeze your boobies.”

It’s not the sort of advice you’re likely to forget, especially if, like me, you already suspect your anatomy is, um, in the way. When I first started playing golf, I blamed every slice or shank or big whiff on my breasts. Like golf announcer Ben Wright, who infamously proclaimed that “women are handicapped by having boobs,” I believed my bra size explained my lousy swing.

But when I read Golf Gal’s advice, and learned that she’d gotten it from Ben Hogan, I figured it was worth a try. Sure enough, my slice was soon a thing of the past.

Now it’s clear to me why. When you squeeze your breasts together, you keep your arms closer to your body, which keeps them straighter through the swing—no more “chicken wings,” as so many instructors call those flailing elbows. So my breasts weren’t the problem; my arms were. But “Don’t flail your elbows!” isn’t a good swing thought, largely because it’s negative. Far better, and easier to act on, is to tell yourself what you should do. And that, ladies, is “Squeeze your boobies!”
