Why hitting chip shots is the best warm-up

» The main difference in swinging a 7-iron and a driver is that you want to hit your driver slightly on the upswing, or at the lowest point of the swing. There are coaches who want their students to practise with a 3-iron thinking that if they can hit a 3-iron all others will be a piece of cake. Perhaps this is true, but this could be looked at as back to front -- because it's easier to learn to hit a good 7-iron first, so when moving to a 3-iron it would not be an issue.

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.

Misuse of your forearms, meaning the use of the wrists instead of the forearms at the beginning of the backswing and at impact.
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.

» 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.
