Tips from Your Local PGA Pro At Perton Park Golf Club Spring is just around the corner and it’s less than 6 weeks to the Masters. Now is the time to sign up for my “6 Week Game Changer Program.” Give me a call or email for more details. If you followed last months tip or are already on the program you should be ahead of the game already. If you have only just got your clubs out after winter you are probably feeling really rusty and even a little nervous standing on the first tee. Here are a couple of tips to get you back into the swing of things. Your best set up key under pressure- the tendency is to freeze over the ball and put a death grip on the club. To combat this, keep some motion in your fingers and feet. Waggle the club back and forth. If you lock up, your nerves will get you. Try turning your left shoulder behind the ball. Nerves typically make the backswing fast and short. It's tough to recover from a snatchy move like that. If you're feeling tense (like on the first tee or a tough driving hole) focus on making a full, rhythmic motion to the top. The best thought, even if you don't have the flexibility to do it, is to turn your left (for right handers) shoulder behind the ball. You'll load into your right side so you can shift forward coming down. Remember, the ball's not going anywhere, so take your time swinging back. Try maintaining your arm speed to the finish - If you're feeling totally lost on the tee; you need a swing key that combats a lot of potential problems. Try keeping your arms swinging at a constant speed through the ball and all the way to the finish. Many golfers swing to the ball and stop; they "throw" the club at the ball. This can lead to misses of all kinds, so picking the proper correction can be confusing. If you keep up your arm speed, you'll create good rhythm and flow through impact. You might be amazed at how things fall into place. Making an aggressive pass through the ball is always better than trying to steer it down the fairway. Remember, you're making a golf swing, so keep those arms swinging. Good luck and get out playing and practising, we have a great offer at Perton Golf Driving Range Happy Hour 5pm – 6pm Weekdays only.
