The last 3 or 4 problems with my swing were all resolved with the same solution. Tempo. I wish I would figure this out on the course.

Any one have any ideas how to manage tempo? I know this is a personal thing but slowing my swing down allowing me to get everything lined up makes all the difference. I need to figure out a way to keep from deviating from my tempo.

Honestly, I doubt "tempo" is your biggest priority problem. I'd look at other things. Not to say tempo doesn't help with things, but it's almost never the largest issue.

I would say that the tempo was causing me to other things. The most recent problem was a bad case of the pulls with my irons. I had a over the top closed face thing that was going on no matter what I tried to do on the golf course, it kept occurring.  I went to the range and got it under control by slowing my back swing down and allowing my forward swing to progress more naturally. Is that not tempo or a swing plane fix?
