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 […]
Trail Leg Flex Drill
This drill is for your loss of posture. If you are a player who tends to stand up during your backswing, then you need to focus on the flex in your knees. At the address position, we should have some flex, specifically in our right knee (Right Handed Golfer), or trail knee. Now, what you […]
Reverse Grip Extensions
One key focal point that I always work on with my students is to maintain the width and posture in their golf swings. 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 […]
Horizontal-Shaft Putting Drill
We might have snow on the ground but that does not mean you have to stop thinking about your golf game. A part of your game that you can always stay in touch with during the off-season is your putting stroke, which will give you a huge head start to better scores come spring. One […]
Use a Stability Ball to find Stability in your Game
With the Alberta golf season ending, and the holiday season just around the corner, we have the tendency to neglect taking care of our bodies during the off-season. Of course, health and fitness should be a priority regardless of the time of year; however if you find time to be a factor, I suggest you […]
Be Like Tommy Fleetwood
One of my favourite golfers to watch is this year’s Ryder Cup’ Rock Star, Tommy Fleetwood. This is because of how consistent and smooth flowing his swing (and hair…) always is and how incredible of a putter he is. In this month’s golf tip, I will share with you a few things that you should […]
Sun Up and Out
Not only is this a fitting name for a drill, as it doesn’t appear we have many sunny days left in the golf season, “Sun Up and Out” is a great drill to help with the correct technique for hitting pitch shots. To help hit softer pitch shots with more backspin, we have to understand […]
Impact Fix
One of the most common mistakes in golf is not being able to find the proper impact position, caused by loss of posture or early extension, which typically leads to an early release or over the top cast. A great drill that will help you find consistency with striking the center of the clubface is […]
Zoo Golf
The RedTail Landing Junior Camps are now in full swing and what better tip to provide this month than one of my favourites that we use in our Junior Summer Camp Program. It is called “ZOO GOLF.” In Zoo Golf, we get our junior golfers to pretend to be the following animals to help them […]
Pelvic Punch Drill
This is ideal for players that are predominantly arm swingers and need to work on their sequencing. Many players tend to use their arms excessively, what this drill does is take those arms out of the equation. Simply setup and take the club back so it is level (parallel) to the ground; your hands are […]
