Weekly Golf Tip with JC Bacon PGA Professional at Los Lagos Golf Club

Starting the swing:

Starting your golf swing, many times is the beginning of the reason we sometimes are struggling with our game. I have seen a number of students pick the club off of the ground, way too soon. By doing this it can cause a “chop” swing resulting in a shot that takes too much turf, and the ball not being hit as cleanly as it should be. Take the club back “low and slow” to create a smoother downswing and follow through to get more “clean” hits. This is especially true with your longer clubs. Think about a triangle formed along your shoulders, going down the inside of each arm to your hands on the club. Keep that triangle in tact, without bending your elbows or wrists for at least the first 12 inches of your backswing. This will create more shoulder turn which, in some cases may create higher clubhead speed, resulting in a few more yards. But more importantly, creating more “solid” hits.

Any questions about this tip or any part of your game, contact your local PGA or LPGA Professional.

Until next time, line it up and hit it solid!
