Check out my lower body here. I've turned so much that my right knee buckled. Despite the effort this position takes to achieve, it's not a good one. |
This is more like it! My upper body has turned against my lower body, which has only turned about half as far as my shoulders. This is how the pros do it. Keep that back leg rigid! |
Today's fairway woods hit the ball a mile. Don't always assume driver is the right play, even on long holes. Always go with what feels right, not necessarily what the scorecard insinuates you should use off the tee. |
What's going on in my head at this point? Not much! I have a picture of the shot I want to hit and all I'm concentrating on is getting to a full finish. I've already committed to my swing shape and targetline, and I've made my club selection. No need to steer the ball, just let it go, trust my decisions, and swing! |
From the top of your golf swing, try not to get fixated on getting the clubhead back to the ball. If anything, ignore it and allow the club to vertically drop behind you as you begin the downswing. If you do that, you should look like this. | If you're fixated on the clubhead at the top of your swing, you'll likely swing from over the top as you see here, which, by the way, rarely produces good results! |
At impact, because I'm allowing my forearms to control the rotation of the clubface, I actually can see the ball leave the face at impact. | When you contort and attempt to square the clubface with your shoulders, you'll have a hard time producing good results. |
If you start your round expecting to never hit a bad shot, I have news for you, you're going to be very disappointed. Bad shots and unlucky breaks are going to happen, sometimes more often than you expect. Be ready for them when they come, allow yourself to vent, but move on and forget about them. You have more golf left to play. |
Always hit your pitch and chip shots with two targets in mind. Why? Because around the green is where the golf course has the most undulations and slopes. Most fairways are generally flat, but around the green, if you're paying attention, you'll miss out on some critical breaks that can greatly affect how your ball rolls once it hits the ground. |
Choose the style that works for you! |
