One swing for pitch shots
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 30/07/2025
» Are you having problems with pitch shots around the green, perhaps you're undecided to hit it high or low or make it stop quickly. Here's a way of making the shot selection and execution process simpler.
Master the takeaway like Billy
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 21/05/2025
» Over the years of teaching many women golfers, I've found that they are unaware of the important positions they should be in during the different stages of their golf swings. One of these positions is when the golf club is at waist height, just after takeaway. And Billy Horschel is a player to watch here, as he has incorporated this position in his pre-shot routine.
Essential tips to start 2025 on right foot
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 15/01/2025
» Before 2025 gets fully underway, checking several basic points in your swing might be beneficial, rather like investing in putting your car in for a service before a long trip. Start with your grip by placing your lead hand on the top of the club with your thumb pointing down the right centre of the grip (for right-handers). Keep the thumb quite short as a long thumb leads to over hinging at the top of your swing.
Master your left-hand placement

» When you place your left hand on the club you should have the feeling that your thumb is more or less on the top of the shaft. Whilst looking down you should see two knuckles on the back of your hand, the crease formed between the first knuckle on the index finger and the thumb, should be pointing to your right ear.
Greenside trap is not a difficult shot
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 20/03/2024
» Learn the fundamentals of bunker play and getting out effectively from a greenside trap is not a difficult shot. Firstly, grip as you normally would any other club, don't grip it shorter as this encourages you to take a full swing all the way to a high follow-through without quitting on the shot when the club strikes the sand. Grip it tightly with the little finger and ring finger of your left hand so the club won't roll over and close in the sand.
Grip correctly to reach your full potential
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 29/11/2023
» If you have a questionable grip, the chances are you're not going to reach your full golfing potential. A bad grip will force you to make unconventional swing adjustments to be able to hit the ball squarely.
Good grip leads to good swing
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 23/08/2023
» Some golfers don't slice every time, even though they don't rotate the club with their hands and wrists, because they hit the ball with their shoulders although using them is not a good way to square up the clubface. It is very inconsistent and leads to an outside-in swing path known as "coming over-the-top."
Kim's punishment ridiculous, extreme

» We all get more than a little irritated and frustrated by shots that don't really turn out as expected.
It's results that really matter

Fine players, caddies heavily if they don't shout fore
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 07/10/2018
» I was very impressed with the inspirational video that the European Tour produced to motivate their team prior to last week's Ryder Cup. The older gentleman talking at the beginning many of you will not recognise -- but I did, as he and his father were my teachers when I first started out in the game.
