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 […]
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 […]
