Tip of the month It’s difficult to give a tip this week and not mention Tiger’s win at The Masters.
One of the things that struck us this week as how good his tempo was with his swing. He wasn’t trying to lash at it and hit the ball as far as he could or keep up with his playing partners. There was a lot of ¾ swings and some lovely balanced follow through’s which shows that he was swinging within himself.
Here is a lesson for us all. Next time you are out on the course, take one more club than you think you should, grip about an inch further down the handle and make sure that you feel the backswing complete before moving into the downswing.
When done correctly, this will feel like you have forever to hit the ball. You may find that you hit the ball more solidly and you may feel like you swing it smoother because you have one more club. Let us know if you try this tip and how you get on with it.
