The last couple of months I have given you tips to help with your wrists and shoulder turn. I hope that they have helped. One of the problems, teaching via a monthly article is there is too much time between articles. Readers will work on something for a few days and either get it or not. Most of the time , the reader will get stuck in the middle. Not the best place to be! This month I am going to give you a drill that will help you put your swing together. I would much rather have a student with terrible technique and great tempo than a student with perfect tempo and horrible tempo. Here is the drill.

1.Take your normal address position.
2.Slide your feet together so that the ball is opposite your front foot.
3.Swing back and forth slowly gaining speed.
4.Hit balls at half speed with a half swing.
5.Hit balls at full speed with a full swing.

The feet together drill is one of the most fundamentally prudent drills to do. It will help with timing, tempo, and overall consistency. Work on this drill with and without golf balls. For more tips please visit my website at www.bobschade.com.
Good luck and good golfing!
