Follow through is vital for a smooth and fluid swing

» Follow through completely and don't stop your swing abruptly after making contact with the ball. Allow the club to release naturally through impact, following the path established by your setup and body rotation. Trust your swing mechanics and focus on maintaining a smooth and fluid motion through impact.
Straight shots start with setup, posture and tempo

» Always try and work on your posture and alignment, as maintaining good posture throughout your swing is an important ingredient for the making of good shots. Tilt your upper body slightly forward from the hips, maintaining a straight spine angle. Use your core for stability and control throughout your swing. Avoid slouching or arching your back excessively, as this can affect your swing mechanics and lead to inconsistent ball striking.
Alignment the secret to better swing

» Your knees and hips should be more or less parallel to the line of where you're trying to hit the ball; however, a fade or draw will need a little adjustment. Your shoulders should have the feeling of being a touch open and your right arm the same height as your left or even ever so slightly higher than your left.

» Standing correctly to the ball is obviously extremely important for consistency and there's a four-step exercise that will help you to do just that. Firstly, standing upright, hold the club directly out in front of you. Then flex your knees until, when looking down, you can see half of your feet. Carry on the exercise by dropping your arms without bending forward, and then lastly, bend from your hips and stick your bottom out slightly. When the club touches the ground, Hey Presto, you will be in the perfect position from which to start a good swing.
Beat the heat! Smart tips for thriving

» Let's face it, practising in Thailand's heat is not the most pleasurable of activities. Therefore, a little bit of thought needs to be implemented into the task of fine tuning or refining a new movement. Psychologically we must approach making a movement change, over a certain amount of time, with the realisation that there will be a measurable number of strange looking shots before improvement can be seen.
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.
The secret to a perfect swing lies in setup
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 16/10/2024
» Keep a clear mind when practising and remember that a good swing is a combination of a lovely grip, stance and posture and the way you position your body in relation to the target. If all is done correctly the chances of hitting a good shot will drastically increase.
Why clubface alignment in swing is the key to accuracy
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 04/09/2024
» As we all know the golf swing looks like one movement, but it's actually made up of many movements all working together. This means that if the clubface is just a little bit off the result is going to grow into a large error by the time the ball comes to rest. If the face is two or three degrees off at impact, the ball will be 20-30 yards off at 200 yards.
