Do you suffer from… • Inconsistent strike from sand• Poor bunker distance control Why does this happen? Inconsistency from sand usually stems from a poor set-up position. If your clubface is too square at address it will dig down into the sand at impact, not using the bounce of the club. Incorrect positioning of your weight will create either a too steep ...

With this exercise, you will increase the rotation of the body ready for the golf swing without having to stretch before you tee off. It also increases the communication between body parts that is essential in producing coordinated movement in the golf swing. Start by seeing how far you can rotate initially.

Every golfer wants to get more spin with their wedges. Whether it’s from a tight lie in the fairway, fluffy rough or soft sand, spin is the one thing we love to brag about to our playing partners. But it’s one thing wanting spin and another creating it. So as a visual golf drill, try drawing some radial lines on ...

Dan Frost, 10 October 2009 05:00

The 30-yard bunker shot is one of the hardest shots in golf. The key to achieving the distance, which is the hardest aspect of the shot, is in the angle of attack. This angle is dictated by the shoulders, so use this cane drill to get the visual feedback you need to set the shoulders up correctly. When you have ...

Priding yourself on prudent course management, you take the long iron for safety off the tee on that tight par four. But it all goes wrong when you hit the ball fat and your left wishing you'd just taken the driver in the first place. A fat or heavy contact occurs when you are too steep with your golf swing ...

That sound of the whip of the shaft through impact is a sure sign you've hit the ball with masses of power. It's a simple idea but one that should never be ignored. As a drill, grab an old shaft or cane and try and realise the potential power you have in the hands and in the release. Place a ...

Steve Webster, 28 September 2009 09:00

This drill is quite fun and I use it a lot in my short game practice routine to consolidate a few of the fundamental techniques that you need. The only way you can play what is effectively a medium height pitch shot with an 8-iron is to keep the loft on the club by keeping the hands low and soft. ...

 
Rule No. 1: Position The Ball

Rule No. 1: Position The Ball

rating is 2.5

Butch Harmon, 27 September 2009 09:35

With the driver, most golfers play the ball too far forward and stand too far away from it. This might feel powerful, but it sets some bad things in motion. The forward ball position shifts the shoulders open to the target, which leads to an out-to-in swing and usually a slice. Standing too far from the ball pulls the upper ...

Tiger Woods, 15 September 2009 12:02

Keep your big muscles moving through impact... If you're having problems hitting those little spinners with your wedges, perhaps your ball position or technique is off. I like to play the ball toward the middle of my stance on most irons, especially short irons. That helps me get my hands ahead of the ball through impact (above, middle), which is ...

I spent some time with putting coach Paul Hurrion recently and that has been very useful. We broke my stroke down to the basics and then just tightened everything up, working on my core stability. I like to set my palms square to the target line before gripping the club, so that my forearms are parallel. You don’t want one ...
