I’m spending 2-3 hours each day editing and reviewing my golf instruction transcripts. I like to have everything specified before recording. Reading, writing and editing the transcripts is a fascinating experience.

Imagining the Golf Swing

I find that I have to imagine the movements and the golf swing dynamics as I write. This detailed imagining has effects on my posture and movement just as if I had done the sessions. I expect this type of experience when creating Feldenkrais-based sessions. However, the golf transcripts have a much greater affect than the other products that I have created.

Perhaps because many of the golf sessions are done in a standing posture? Perhaps because a golf swing is such a complex movement? Perhaps because it is winter and I am not near a course – having to imagine every detail of the golf environment?

I’m not quite sure, but I am intrigued. I have 6 session so far, each done with a golf club and each working on a different sensory motor movement patterns related to the swing. Next, I will design 6 “floor” sessions, each designed to work with swing dynamics outside of our usual vertical relationship to gravity.
