Golf Tips Great articles by our coaches and authors

A hook is often caused by an incorrect grip on the golf club – in particular what we call an overly strong grip…

Did you know you can swing left and still hit a draw? This article will explain exactly why that is the case, and give you a deeper understanding of the swing arc.

While it’s a fault that might be as common as a slice, to the golfer that hooks or pulls the ball it’s equally as frustrating. This series will help you understand why you hook the golf ball and how you can correct it.

Looking down the range during a lesson, I see a bunch of guys hacking away at the ball. Some of them are obsessively working on their backswings, hoping to find the secret. Some are sending their divots farther than the ball.

Following that series will give you the corrections you need to hit consistently straight shots with every club in the bag. There’s one last recommendation I’d like to offer…

Proper hand and forearm rotation, timed correctly, prevents the club face from being ‘open’ at impact (see the image to the right). It’s this open club face that imparts clockwise spin on the ball causing it to curve to the right.

The biggest issue for the average golfer is “turf contact” with irons/hybrids and fairway woods. In this article, I’m going to show you just how big an issue it is for you, and why it is the major reason for you being stuck in a rut with your game.

Having great positions in the swing, good plane, square clubface, and good posture are all very important, but no matter how good these aspects are, to make it all work you need some oil. This is tempo & rhythm.

Contrary to what many club golfers believe, a slice is not just any ball flight that swerves severely to the right (for the right-handed player)… If your slice shots start right of your target and then curve further right, we call that a push-slice

A study into the performance of elite golfers was recently completed (27th November 2017). The findings are incredible, and I think that players and coaches around the world can learn a lot from the results.
