Keeping your swing simple the way to go
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 02/08/2020
» It has been said that the first 12-inch drawback away from the ball is the most important part of the golf swing. If you can master taking the club back correctly for the first foot of the back swing without picking the club up, rotating your forearms, taking the club too far to the inside and all these other swing killers, you can become very competent and develop power and consistency over the golf ball. But then again there are a few more inches to go through before the swing has finished!
The science behind ball positioning
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 08/05/2024
» The position of the ball is second only to the grip, and mistakes in grip and ball position are mistakes made before the swing that may ruin any thoughts of a good swing even before you've swung. Many golf coaches teach that the ball should be played off the left heel for all shots however, I'm not a fan of this doctrine as only very good players can do this off good lies. But if you play the ball off your left heel with a 9-iron, you must have a very fast hip shift to meet the club with the ball on the downswing.
Make your short game exceptional

» 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.
Let the left heel come up for easier body turn, freer swing

» 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.
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.

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.
