Correct breathing during the golf swing

[Huwey12]

I played Tuesday and started with a disastrous first 3 holes. My playing partners remarked I was very tense resulting in a snatchy takeaway and a too quick a transition
I remembered advice from an old player to breathe properly which slows everything down, from then on I was back to my normal standard
How do you people relate to this? Is your breathing automatic or do you have to think about it?
I found breathing out slowly at address and takeaway leaving a bit of air to complete the downswing
Any thoughts thanks?

Classic Matchplay gamesmanship....

Try two breaths in, then one out.

During a friendly round, my pp was about to putt. I asked him whether he breathed in or out during his putt. Destroyed him. ??

Ha ha I’ll remember that one for a comp ?

I am too worried about the air coming out of my trousers to worry about what is going in at the top.

I have been breathing for 64 yrs never had a problem ,just came naturally.

Just another unnecessary thought to worry about. Stand there, swing, hit it, find it and hit it again

Point taken lads I thought I was getting too technical

I’m going to go against the grain here, in a recent lesson my pro commented that at address before pulling the trigger I stop breathing until after the ball has been hit and he’s pushing me to breathe more before hitting the ball.

Mind you it’s the last lesson in the course so if my game goes to rats crap he’s got me. Sad times when you’re playing gamesmanship with your pro ??
