Building A Golf Swing

I get emails and phone calls almost daily from players asking how to re-build their golf strokes. First, it isn’t always necessary to re-build - you may just need to tune up what you already have.

Don’t “cast away” something you’re familiar with unless it is producing inferior results. But if you REALLY want to improve then the first thing every player must do is build correct Impact Alignments.

Start with the smallest stroke - putting/chipping. Practice making these strokes without flipping your wrist at the golf ball. Impact should be - on every shot with every club - the left arm and clubshaft in ONE straight line, the hands IN FRONT of the golf ball, and a descending blow.

There is absolutely no use in trying to make a full swing with a Driver if you can’t make a 2 foot stroke with proper alignments. Fight that urge to grab the “Big Dog” until you can make Impact prpoerly with a 10 foot chip shot.
