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 […]

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 […]
Align the Pelvis – Shaft Through Belt Loop Drill
One of the most common mistakes we make as golfers occurs in our setup position with regards to ALIGNMENT…have you ever hit a shot where you made good contact, but then look up to see that your ball has missed 10 yards to the right or left?…you are all nodding your heads at this point […]
Hit Up on your Drives
With my students, at the beginning of each season, I always stress the importance of working on the short game and finding good rhythm, tempo and balance in their golf swing. Without question, your focus to start the season should be on a good grip, correct posture, the right stance with good alignment, making solid […]
