Hard work is essential for great swing
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 03/04/2025
» Most of us who've been playing for a long time picked up the basics of the game from watching carefully the swings of good players. Imitation has started many of us off in the game but this alone does not allow you to fully understand the swings inner workings. I must be honest here and say that watching only good swings will not make a good player. There is no shortcut, that I'm aware of, that will make a good player other than some hard work on the practice range. Imagining a nice-looking swing whilst hitting balls will help but we're all made differently, and as one well known player once told me 'we all have to work out what works on the course through blood, sweat and tears' so all the many movements required becomes muscle memory.

» The way you set up is all about getting your body into the right position to give yourself the best chance at making a good shot, so you will want to make sure your shoulders are in the correct place to start off and that they are parallel with your line of aim.
Use feet to generate more power
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 12/07/2023
» I believe that over the past 28 years of writing golf tips I’ve not touched on what ankles and feet do in the golf swing. However, analytics show that more power can be generated if your feet move correctly during your swing.

Maintain swing plane to play consistently well

» I have contacted several Thai clubs to help compile an analysis of just how the coronavirus has hit their cash flow, and for the clubs relying on the golf tourists, several have seen an 80 percent reduction in income over the past five "virus-restricted" months. This is the serious reality of where many golf courses are now.
Get that straight-back, straight-through swing
