[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] Golf and American professional football (NFL) have many similarities.


This is why former NFL star quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Tom Brady (both from the United States) have excellent golf skills. Manning has a handicap of 3.5, and Brady has 8. In 2009, Manning played a round alongside the "Golf Emperor" Tiger Woods (USA) at the PGA Tour Quail Hollow Championship Pro-Am, and Brady is well known as a regular at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Last May, they even participated in a 2-on-2 charity event with Woods and Phil Mickelson (USA), gaining even more spotlight.


This is a golf improvement method applying the "NFL key movements" introduced by world-renowned instructor Brian Mogg (USA). Let's focus on the quarterback snapping the ball from the center. The knees are bent, and the arms are sufficiently separated from the body to secure space for movement. This posture is the same in the golf address. Space is needed between both hands and legs. Only then can you make a large arc swing.


If you can imitate the quarterback's actions, you gain powerful kinetic energy. Next is the position of the right arm when the quarterback throws the ball. You can see it forms an "L" shape before passing. This position signifies a state where leverage, power, and speed can be maximized. It is like firmly supporting the club at the top of the backswing. Keeping this point in mind during the swing always leads to good results.



Kicking the ball like a kicker is also in a similar context. The "in-out" trajectory resembles the clubhead path. If the golf club and the kicker's path match, it leads to a correct swing plan and solid contact. The balance of the linebacker, who defends by tackling opposing players, is also impressive. It is a perfect posture chasing the ball. Balance is an essential element for hitting excellent shots in golf.
