Golf Course – Full Swing Practice 1
Warm up with pitch shots – the first thing golfers need to learn is how to contact the ball solidly with small pitch shot swings. The pitch shot swing (waste high to waste high) is the core of the full swing. When we make full swings, we learn bad habits when we are beginners, resulting in poor contact with the golf ball. If you start with pitch shots, you are swinging smaller at a slower speed so not much can go wrong. Therefore you groove a perfect impact position and solid contact.
1. Warm up with 30 shots, trying to fly it only 20 yards.
2. Pick a spot to aim at and see if you can land your ball on it
Tempo and balance – Feet together while you swing, this will work on your balance (see video demonstration). This simple drill helps you groove all the proper technical positions of the golf swing. I wont go to in depth, just do it every time you go to the golf course!
1. Use a shorter iron (7,8, or 9 iron)
2. 20 shots
Full swing 7-irons – Place an alignment stick for your feet slightly left of target (for right handers or right for left handers), place another alignment stick at the target for club face. Do this for every full swing shot on the range.
1. 15 shots
Full swing drivers – tee it high and let it fly. Keep the good tempo and focus on balance and holding your finish for 3 seconds after you hit the ball
1. 10 shits
Finish with the impact zone – like I said, pitch shots are the core of the full swing. Finish your practice with 10 more pitch shots (hip high to hip high)
1. 10 shots trying to fly it to a target 20 yards away
