i see these terms used a lot, but sometimes it is interchangeably, and i'm not sure if i truly understand what each mean in a golf context.
from thefreedictionary.com:
rhythm: Movement or variation characterized by the regular recurrence or alternation of different quantities or conditions
tempo: A characteristic rate or rhythm of activity; a pace
would rhythm be defined as repeatability of the body movements from golf swing to golf swing? from what i can gather, if one can square up the clubface consistently, he very likely has good rhythm. could you argue that a repeatable golf swing, by definition, is rhythmic?
i guess it's possible to have less than ideal rhythm and still square it up consistently if you have talent enough to feel the clubface and adjust at speed. but this would probably be a tough way to get the job done.
and tempo i guess would be a measure of the time it takes to get from one part of the swing to another? ie: from initial backswing move to impact?
