RS C4
C4 is a rigorous course on transforming the swing.
When I went through C4 I was just trusting the process and doing the work. It took a bunch of time. All the while I was wondering. When and how can I apply this on the golf course? At times it felt like I was being asked to stop playing golf until all 4 phases of the course were complete. Who does that? I didn’t. I would do my C4 work out then I would play some golf either on the course or in my hitting bay. It is not optimal because I was obviously practicing one thing and playing another thing but…
Later I learned that each phase can and does apply to a golf skill. So why not work on the swing concept while also applying it to a golf skill that can be taken to the golf course?
If each phase is adjusted to additionally use a particular set of clubs then a golf skill can be learned and applied immediately on the golf course. For example, is essentially the concept I use when I chip. If a wedge is also used in Phase I, then you can take your improved chipping skills to the golf course immediately. Without having to wait for mastery of all the phases. This allows for learn and use as you go!
