Golf Tip of the Week

Don’t Keep Your Head Still

One common myth you hear around the golf course is to keep your head still. What everyone should be saying is keep your eyes on the ball. In a golf swing the head is going to move a little. The more you try to keep it still and down the more rigid and stiff the golf swing becomes. Instead just think, keep your eyes on the ball.

Golf Tip of the Week

Posture Check!

Recreational golfers who constantly struggle to fix their swing problems would do well to fix their posture first. Rounding the back, flexing the knees too much and tucking the head down to see the ball are common setup faults that can lead to a poor swing. If your posture isn’t right, you’ll be forced to swing with mostly your arms and hands, creating very little shoulder turn.

If this sounds like you, here’s a drill you can try within the confines of your own home. Stand in front of a full-length mirror and bend from your hip socket so that your upper body tilts forward approximately 45 degrees. Notice that your head is in line with your spine and isn’t tucked downward. Next, release your knees slightly. A problem most golfers have is too much knee flex and not enough bend from the hips. Finally, let gravity drop your arms and club to the ground (they’ll naturally hang straight down if you’ve achieved the correct posture). This improved position will enable you to make a more complete shoulder turn without a lot of arm and hand action.
