The key to success on the golf course
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 27/03/2024
» Rather than a relaxed feeling be 'at ease' on the golf course. Positive thinking on the course is an important ingredient in the recipe for good rounds and negative thoughts are pure poison for the golfer. You need to believe with all your heart that the shot you are about to hit will be a good one. For this you'll need complete confidence.

Keeping your head down for too long will hinder swing
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 14/02/2024
» A golfing myth is that we must keep our heads down -- in fact, keeping it down too long will hinder your swing. Keeping your head down too long prevents a good follow-through because a golfer can't swing past hip-high with the head down and not give up something good in the finish to do it.

It's better to take the 7-iron than 6-iron and hit it harder
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 13/03/2024
» We seldom hit our middle-iron approach shots past the pin and there are those who preach hitting one club stronger, for example if the shot calls for a 7-iron, choose a 6-iron instead and hit it easier. However, l feel that it's better to take the 7-iron and hit it harder with the thought of getting the ball all the way to the hole.

The correct way to cock your wrists
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 06/03/2024
» I like to see an early wrist cock, but l hesitate, when coaching, to overstate this movement with my students because so many become so entranced with getting their wrists cocked that they forget the rest of the swing. Concentrating just on the wrist cock will mess up other important movements.

Make your short game exceptional
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 03/01/2024
» If you shoot around 95 you will see improvement in 5-shot jumps if you practice diligently and take a few lessons. Equally, a player who scores say 87 will quickly come down to 81/80. The next downward plunge would be to the middle 70's. Once you play 75 regularly you are not an average golfer but will be seen as pretty good.

Develop right muscles with weighted club
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 28/02/2024
» I'm asked regularly on how you put backspin on iron shots. The obvious answer is that if you hit the ball solidly, the loft of the club will automatically put backspin on it. But my answer is invariably too simple, as the average golfer thinks there's a secret that makes a middle-iron shot land on the green and dance backwards.

Let your left heel come up for real free flowing swing
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 21/02/2024
» A retired golfer has the time to practise the short game. Short shots don't require strength or flexibility. Certainly, the older golfer can't hit the ball as far as the younger player but once you reach the fringe of the green young and old become no worse than equals. Nothing sharpens your focus and improves your touch if you just use one ball in practice for getting up and down.
