GOLF TIPS FROM THE PROS

Path Problems
One of the most common shots in golf is the slice which is caused by an outside in path . Try to visualize a target way out to the right and hit balls in that direction. You will find that in order to start the ball on that line it will be necessary to swing from the inside. Remember a ball that starts left and curves right is still hit from the outside. Try this simple drill and you will be on your way to an inside path.

Turn Your Shoulders

You have heard the term "you are using all arms".  On the take-a-way set your hands on the grip and let your shoulders turn and take the club back just past your foot.  Note how straight your left arm is when you hinge upward.  This will set up the correct swing plane. Many twist their hands and find themselves too far behind their body to come back to impact square.

Release Your Hands Toward the Target
Start the downswing by rotating the right hip toward the target as the hands drop into position.  Follow through extending the arms out long forward to your target releasing the right arm over the left. Thumbs are on the top of the handle of the club. All your weight is now balanced on your left side. Shoulders and hips face your target.
