From swing flaws to success: Fixing hitting from the top
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 24/04/2024
» The question a golf coach must consistently deal with is how to persuade their student to stop hitting from the top without becoming too technical or offering more advice than can be absorbed just in one session. I'm aware of five ways of conveying this feeling, one of which is to ask the student to try and hit the ball on the toe of the club for a while. Another is to place two balls on the ground about two inches apart and have the student hit the inside ball without touching the other.

» Golfers who ride in golf carts are always driving here and there from one ball to the other, taking up a lot of time. If the rule is in effect that the cart is not allowed to leave the path, golfers are inclined to dawdle over club selection and make unnecessary trips back and forth from the ball to the bag. Walking keeps senior golfers' legs strong, and strong legs make for a more powerful swing.
