What is a good tip to maintain good tempo during golf swing?
For putting…i use the method…4 inches back=10 ft roll…and say peanut during the backswing and follow thru with butter…any similar tips for the golf swing? Been getting pretty good results with this….anything similar to this for a full golf swing?
Confucius say…
“He who look up…
…see bad shot!”
I’ve heard people say to themselves “17”
seven on the backswing and teen on the downswing
Good luck
I believe good tempo means to properly go through the body sequencing ie transfer weight, rotate hips, shoulders, arms, hands and club.
This goes wrong when I want to bash the out of the ball.
Surprisingly the tempo of your breathing has an effect on the tempo of your swing.

Tom Watson uses the 1….2 sync…….others use a 1…2…3…sync.
this may sound daft but on your backswing start humming like a bee and keep the same tempo through your followthrough this is what pro’s are taught.HHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMM
I like the 3 count method. “one-two-three-POP” Sometimes, I’ll sit ion my car until I haer a song on the radio I like that will undoubtedly sit in my head for the entire round.
A good sone like “Tumblin’ Dice” or “Sultans of Swing” (no pun intended). What a great name for a golf club.
For me, tempo gets off when they’re is another issue. In other words, poor tempo is a symptom of another problem. Check the other basics and sometimes this will trickle down and help your tempo. Good luck.
Try DOLLAR BILLS, that’s what I use, from the movie Tin Cup.
The best method is to be rewarded for good shots. Next time you have a perfect 7 iron shot to the green, take a six iron and tell yourself to hit it half speed. You can’t really do it, but try to swing slower back and through so as not to make the six go over the green. You will find that by slowing down you hit it so much more solidly that the shot will still probably be long, but you start to feel how good you can hit it with a smooth tempo. That is the key to making that slower swing consistently – knowing how solid you will hit it and what a good result it will bring.
Just Relax!!!! It will come naturally
I try to hum a song. This usually sets the tempo.
dont take the club back too fast!!! and make sure theres just a little pause at the top of the swing….from there unwind your hips and hit through the ball
a slight pause on the top of the swing while giveyou good tempo. also, try quarter swing back and quarter thru and check yardage carry. try half and half etc….
….and don’t look up, as what the other poster said and to quote confucius “he who looks up … see’s bad shot” hahahahah really funny.
Learn to feel your swing… backwards and forwards. Forget mechanics assuming you already have the correct fundamentals incorporated into your golf swing.
