Swing Tips from the Pros

Do you think your can learn to play the piano without a lesson from a piano player? Exactly!

Improve your putting feel

On the practice green, find an area with 30-40 feet in which to putt into and open space, no hole or target necessary. Hit one ball into the open spot, but this is the key don’t watch to see where it finished. Drop and putt the second ball, with the goal of getting it as close as possible to the first ball. Check your results, then repeat. Vary your distances and repeat.

Improve your chipping

Narrow up your stance, place the ball in the middle of your stance, now get your weight shifted to your front foot. When chipping we want to pick a target out where we want to land the ball and roll out to the hole. In order to do this put a towel on the green where you want to land the ball. Practice landing the ball at your target adjust if necessary.

Improve your contact with your irons

When your practicing your irons try this. Before hitting the shot put a tee just in front of the ball. After your swing you will be able to see where your divot begins. Your divot should start where the tee is if does then you be making solid contact.

Improve your grip

Hold club gently. Drill: Hold club properly in the form of your hands. Club head on the ground as if you were addressing the ball. Squeeze grip as hard as you can, notice how your hands, arms, and shoulders become tense. Club feels very heavy when you lift it. Next, relax your hold on the club. Hands, arms, and shoulders become relaxed. The club now feels lighter and much easier to swing.

Improve your Your Swing Sequence

Lower body moves first with a transfer of weight to your front foot. Drill: Swing to the top, from there simply transfer your weight from back foot to front foot using either your feet, knees or hips (It is different for everyone). Repeat, back and forth.

Improve your posture

Drill: Stand sideways in front of a mirror and watch yourself staying in posture (bent over) as you swing. Feel your upper body staying in it’s original position. Simply turn back, let your weight transfer, and turn through.

Improve your Your Power

Be sure to tee the ball forward enough off the left heal with the driver. Set up with about 60% of weight on right side with the driver. In rotation of the body be sure to extend left arm on the backswing and right arm through the impact zone.
