Golf Swing Dream Sequence - 300 Yard Drives with the Mike Austin Swing!

Who am I but the dreams I pursue? This golf swing music video takes you on that journey. I put music and images together from my sessions on the driving range. I call it my "Golf Swing Dream Sequence" because we all dream of 300 yard drives. For me, this dream became a reality on April 10, 2008. The 300 yard drive picture you see on my SkyCaddie GPS is real. That was my first 300 yard drive and I hit it right on the number! Not 299, not 301. 300 yards exactly! We took a picture with my cell phone to document it. I've hit many more 300+ yard drives since then. My longest is 324 with no dogleg and 352 with a slight dogleg. The Swing Speed Radar readings are real, too! Not bad for a just a skinny girl with a dream. If I can do it, so can you!

I use a swing method taught by the late Dr. Mike Austin who hit a 515 yard drive at the age of 64. He did it with a persimmon driver no less! Truly an amazing man.

I hope you enjoy this unique way of looking at a golf swing and what being "golf fit" can do for you! I do believe that the Mike Austin swing is the best by far. Got me my first 300 yard drive and many more!

Oh, be sure to have your volume turned way up for this one!

What was the background music?It sounded like Kashmir-Zeppelin and the London Philharmonic.

[rgolfnut]

The song is titled "Pompeii" by E.S. Posthumus. They do cinematic style music. The NFL on CBS uses some of their music (Unstoppable) and they wrote the theme to the TV show "Cold Case". Unique and diverse music!

Love your swing...I really enjoyed this clip...up to the point where I saw you in your bathing suit...I didn't feel so good after that...

[rgolfnut]

Thanks for the honest comment. It's not a bathing suit though. NIke work out shorts. It was about 95 degrees and 100% humidity as I worked out in my garage, so I did have on a halter type top verus a full shirt when I took the picture. The purpose was to show how my core and abs have developed through my rigid exercise program. I've lost 40 lbs and really do have well-defined muscles that I never thought a woman my age could ever have. I tried to be tasteful. Guess some might not like it.

Nice. Who is your instructor?

[ElGolfeux]

I'm impressed. Very nice and efficient swing, no wated energy, at all!! Being in good shape, supple and strong will help for sure

I am just discovering the MA methods, and the pivot does have lots of similarities with Hogan's and Snead which I'm currently studying.

Like I said, impressive swing! Keep up the good work and congrats for reaching your 300 yeard dream drive!

Nice swing. Can I suggest a narrower stance with slight increase in the lead foot angle towards the target. Otherwise, solid swing, solid contacts. Congratulation on understanding how to generate power and consistency!

To Bunkerputt: What you refer to as a lateral slide is actually part of the great Mike Austin technique. She is swinging (pivoting) around her right leg, & then transferring her weight to her left side, where she is then pivoting, or swinging around her left leg "maypole," as Mike Austin described it. She is actually doing everything correctly in regards to Austin's incredible method. It's a wonder these pros on tour don't adopt this near flawless technique.

[Kazyman]

So is good spelling.

Core strenght is the key

[xmanhockey7]

My only question is how many fairways do you normally hit?

[bunkerputt]

Great job on all your hard work, rgolfnut. It looks like you have a slight lateral slide away from the target with your hips which causes a slight, lower body reverse pivot. I'd bet you gain a few more MPH and better launch conditions if you had a firmer left side. I've got this tendency too and do hip adductor and flexor work to build strength. It creates a more automatic and powerful weight transfer during the transition. Check out Hogan's swing for a great example. Good swinging!
