The golf swing is largely about timing. Delivering the club face to impact at the right time according to the correct sequenced order of events. Gee, it sounds so easy when you say it like that. Half the time it is and the rest of times can be awful to watch. Bloody Nora! Discover how classical music can improve your golf. Many golfers will be aware that experts claim that certain classical music pieces can be good for the brain. You might have heard of the Mozart Effect? Music is mathematical, if you didn’t know.

Improve Your Golf Swing Via Listening To Classical Music

Bach. Johann Sebastian Bach, in my experience, is particularly good for focusing the mind. Whilst I was studying at university I tuned into Bach and a few other composers. My essay writing and attention to detail improved and increased. Personally, I am not a huge fan of Mozart. Bach, for me, is harmonious and mathematically contained. Listening to JS Bach soothes my brain and stimulates it in the right way. The golf swing is also rhythmical and therefore mathematical too. Developing a smooth rhythmic tempo is important. Tempo is timing.

Listen To Classical Music & Play Better Golf

Now, you do not have to listen to classical music out on the golf course to ensure its benefit to your golf game. Rather, regular immersion in classical music that you enjoy listening to will have a meditative effect upon you. If classical music is a new experience for you take it slowly and, my recommendation is to start off with something by JS Bach. There are plenty of mixes on YouTube and elsewhere.

If you can listen to your chosen classical music piece whilst swinging the club that would be great. If not, perhaps, make the golf swing inside without club in hand and go through your sequencing in slow motion. You are immersing yourself and your swing into the sounds of the classical piece.

Go Beyond Your Popular Taste

Discover how classical music can improve your golf. Exposing yourself to mathematically inspired classical music pieces like JS Bach will change the way your body and brain function. Music is vibrational sounds arranged in mathematically harmonious orders. The golf swing is largely about sequencing physical moves in the correct order and tempo. Great music can make this easier to achieve. At the same time, great classical music will make you smarter. Music and what we listen to is often governed by what we were exposed to when we were teenagers and young adults. During those passionate times, when we were defining who we were about to become. Thus, our musical tastes and repertoire of what we listen to can get stuck in a comfort zone – stuck in our past. Listening to the popular songs of our past can be an emotive experience, which is why we do it. But music can be much more than this and these old tunes are not fit for purpose in this instance. We need something new and outside of those old associations.
