Rule No. 1: Position The Ball

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 ...

How To Shake The Shanks By Butch Harmon

Butch Harmon, 30 July 2009 15:00

What is it about the shank that makes golfers run and hide? Two things: First, they don't know what causes it; second, where there's one shank there tends to be another (I'll explain why).

Shorter + Wider = Longer For control off the tee, do what my guys do: limit your backswing... My top three tour guys - Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els and Adam Scott - all came to me with the same problem: too much backswing. They'd take the club back too far and then have to rely on super-fast hands ...

Fix Heel & Toe Hits

Butch Harmon, 09 January 2009 15:11

Driver heads are huge, but I still see plenty of heel and toe hits. The reason? Most golfers swing it too hard, with either the hands and arms or the hips racing out of sequence on the downswing. Either way, the club gets re-routed, leading to off-centre contact. If you pull the club down from the top with your hands ...

Butch Harmon Pitching Tip

Butch Harmon, 08 January 2009 01:00

I see a lot of average players trying to pitch the ball way up in the air. Then I watch pros at Tour events, and they keep the ball down, so they can better control how far it goes. Sure, sometimes you need a high shot, but your standard pitch should be a lower one that releases and rolls. In ...
