With our Junior Summer Camp Program now underway, what better time to introduce one of my favourite weight transfer drills that we use for our juniors, but also use for students of all ages. It is called Squash the Bug. Very simple in concept, as golf instructors, all we want our students to feel is […]

Sweep the Dust Turns
One of the most common swing characteristics I find among golfers is a flat shoulder plane. A flat shoulder plane describes the plane of the shoulders as the golfer turns to the top of their backswing. At address the spine is tilted due to the setup position. In the ideal world the shoulders should move […]
Flamingo Swings & Walk Thru Drill
These drills are inspired by one of our members who shall remain nameless but just for fun, we will call him “Roy.” Roy may be one of the best strikers of the golf ball I have ever seen who always hangs back in his golf swing. Although it has worked for Roy, it will not […]

Reverse Grip Extensions

Many golfers tend to stand up (lose their posture) during the backswing and / or the downswing, causing them to lose their angles and centre. Focusing on the backswing, this is usually […]
