GOLF TIP OF THE MONTH
By: Bob Schade

One of the most common problems I see on the practice tee is a quick transition from the back swing to the forward swing. This area of the swing is problematic because most of the golfers think it is an area that produces power. That is a wrong assumption. That area of the swing is critical for getting the club in the correct slot on the forward swing. If the golfer can get the club in the slot the rate of success goes up exponentially!
Here is a drill that will help you get the club in the slot!

1. Take your normal set up position. Start with a 7 or 8 iron.
2. Take your normal back swing and stop at the top.
3. Count one one thousand, two one thousand.
4. Then swing the club forward and strike the ball.

This drill, if done enough, will calm down the transition area of the swing. This will make you more accurate and produce a more powerful golf motion. Good luck!
