IMPROVE EVERY DAY
Whether you’re a Tour Pro or a weekend player, there’s always room for improvement. The more you understand about the forces at work in the golf swing, the better you’ll be able to control the club face and strike the ball. When I’m on the range or on the course as a coach, I do my best to explain these natural forces in a way that reveals the “a-ha moment” for players. It doesn’t matter what your handicap is, seeing how other golfers are applying their understanding to improve will ultimately help you fine tune your swing as well. I’m also going to share firsthand experiences at some of the world’s finest courses, so you’ll know what to expect when you visit and play. This is what the Player Lessons section is all about.

PLAYER LESSONS

Get in your set up position. Then put the club out in front of you where you want it to go after impact. Then let the weight of the club and or momentum swing the club back into the backswing. Let the club swing where it wants to go. Then swing down and hit the ball. This really helps you feel the momentum of the club and takes the tension out of the backswing. 

FRONT LOADER DRILL

It is important that you can feel the weight in the club and clubhead throughout the swing. To do this turn the club upside down. Hold the club head end. Swing it a few times. Then turn it back to normal and swing. You will be able to really feel the weight in the club and club head and where it is in the arch. Then do the same thing but this time let the weight or force in the club and clubhead make your wrists hinge unhinge and rehinge. You are not forcing it.
