    Written by Gareth Johnston on Thursday 12 May 2011

    Shanking the ball occurs when the golfer presents the hosel of the club to the ball at impact.

    Written by Gareth Johnston on Thursday 12 May 2011

    Topped shots usually occur because the club is rising as it approaches the ball rather than descending into the back of it.

In this golf video tip, TG Elite Teaching Pro Gareth Johnston presents a simple swing thought to do just that. You’ll...

A more neutral club path and clubface is required and TG...

    Written by Gareth Johnston on Wednesday 27 April 2011

    It’s an embarrassing problem to have, isn’t it? Fatting your iron and wedge shots occurs mostly when the body’s centre moves back behind the ball at impact. Remember the body’s centre or sternum is where the bottom of your swing arc is so if you hang back behind the ball, you’re going to hit the ground first. This video tip from...

    Written by Gareth Johnston on Wednesday 27 April 2011

    This destructive tee shot is usually caused by the clubface being excessively closed to the path of the club at impact.
