@cordie_golfwell I do this all the time with my students and also let them use other clubs. Such a great drill!

Golfers - here's an interesting one.

In lessons, it's incredibly rare that I find a golfer who can't swing the #golf club
🟢more in-to-out or out-to-in
🟢closer to/farther from them
🟢deeper/less deep into the ground

amongst other things.

JUST BY ASKING THEM TO!!!!

E.g. convo with a lifelong hooker of the ball who "can't fade it"....

Me - what needs to happen with the club through impact to hit a fade?

Them - club needs to move left through impact with a face that's open to it

Me - can you show me what you mean

Them - demonstrates it (and says) "like this"

Me - can you hit a shot doing that

Within a couple of minutes (often less) they are hitting fades.

------------------------------
Why is this important?

I think that so many of us over-complicate things.

We look for the most complex answer when a simple one works well.

We try to find a mechanical, internally-driven answer to a problem that our brains/bodies already know how to figure out on an instinctive level.

If I asked you to brush the ground closer to your feet or farther away from your feet, you already have all the tools you need to fix heel/toe shots.

Don't get so bogged down in swing mechanics that you destroy the instinctive abilities that EVERY golfer has.

Ask yourself "what do I want the club to do through impact" and you might be surprised at what you can achieve by pure focused attention, and tapping into the instincts that made your ancestors survive.

Your great (x1000) grandad wasn't thinking about his right arm mechanics when he had to spear that wooly mammoth.

Team USA just turned the pool into a stage.

Smooth Criminal hits. Every move lands.

This isn’t swimming… it’s a performance.

Did that give you chills?

Nature and golf are just good for the nervous system.

It's like putting on the edge of the world.

Our Old Wagon Putting Course — built in 2016 — sits below the Lodge, tucked against the Snake River canyon and offers golfers another 30,000 square foot putting oasis.

Bonus golf. Explore with drink in hand.

[Ryan Mouque @ryanmouquegolf]

I came across this clip of Carlos Alcaraz doing this simple but effective drill to help with his ball toss when serving

It immediately made me think about how these amazing players in ANY sport don't skip the basics

I see it everyday with golf, the recreational golfer isn't willing to do the smallest, most basic things in order to help themselves acheive their goals

They say they want one thing but their actions don't show they will achieve it

Golfers always want to hit driver as hard as they can, they skip the importance of setting up to the ball correctly, they don't like changing their terrible grip because it "feels weird"

Yet the best tennis player on the planet is working on his ball toss in order to ensure he can serve the ball to the best of his abilities

It's these 1% efforts that can help you achieve exactly what you want. Don't skip them & when a coach asks you to do them, there's a reason we want you to listen and do them. They are important
