Video Lesson Series

• Golf Clubs that fit!
• PGA Golf Instruction
• "Marriage" between both

• The Ben Hogan Drill (left hand)
• Position the right hand in the fingertips
• Grip pressure not to exceed 65%
• A balanced grips aids in releasing the club head.
• V's formed by the thumb and forefinger point to the right shoulder.

• Always start the alignment process from behind the ball
• Pick a spot in front of the ball about 3-feet away
• Aim the club head-first
• Align the body parallel-second
• Always lay down two clubs to form a parallel teaching aid

• Bend 3 inches from the knees
• Bend from the waist (make sure the football fits)
• Make sure the back and neck stay in line
• Maintain the same posture at1) Set-up2) During the Back swing3) Through the ball at impact
• Arms hang to the ground & hips over heels

• 1) Turning the shoulders 90 degrees (back to the target)
• 2) Hip only turns 25 degrees
• 3) Weight stays on the inside of the right foot (no swaying laterally)
• 4) Don't move legs laterally (don't bump the shaft stuck in the ground)
• 5) Swing only to ten (10) on a clock with the left arm (short back swing)
• 6) Use the tee, shaft or pencil drill so golf shaft is swung in a circle (plane) that points towards the golf ball.

• The downswing is like throwing a baseball
• Start the downswing with the left hip turning
• The arms will follow
• The "TEE" drill (end of grip) is driven to the target line and then to the ball
• Hands and arms cross causing both arms to "EXTEND" after impact
• Ultimate goal is "ARM EXTENTION" through the ball
• Hips , during the down swing, should stay "INSIDE" the two (2) shafts
• End Results-finish on tip toe, eyes, stomach and right knee point to the hole--arms will support the club like holding a tray of PIZZA
• 98% of the weight finishes on the left foot-hold the finish for 5-seconds

• Drill #1--Relax the upper body, hands and arm drill (Tug and Pull until the upper body relaxes)
• Drill #2--Waggle--movement creates relaxation
• Drill #3--Try the mondra- "Practice Swing" -Obey the sound, like dancing to the music.
• Drill #4-- The first (1st) swing should never be the real swing -hit the ball on the third swing (take minimum of 2 previous practice swings)

• Chipping is used just off the putting surface
• Use multiply clubs-7,8,9,pw or sw
• Chipping is a one lever system (very little wrist)
• The motion is slightly inside to inside (seldom straight back and through--as many will teach) Pick out a landing spot
• Try the BLT--(B)ack-(L)ean & (T)ilt with open stance.
• Feel like the handle of a broom is being pulled thru the ball
• Try using a putting grip and putting stroke with chipping principles.

• Use some of the BLT--But ball is more in themiddle of the stance.
• Pitching is a 1/2-swing that is more vertical but still inside to inside
• The PW, Gap, SW or Lob wedge is preferred.
• Weight is more toward the left foot. (Rt handed)
• Angle of approach into the ball is steep-Downward motion is preferred depending on the firmness of the ground.(No lifting, hitting or scooping)
• Use wedges with LESS Bounce if ground is hard--More if it is soft!
• Pitching is a two-lever system---again pick a landing spot.
• Both chipping and pitching-- the LEFT ARM "Must" be extended thru the ball.

• Use multiple sand wedges--PW (48degrees of loft) Gap (52 degrees of loft) SW (56 degrees) & Lob (60 degrees)
• Each sand wedge has "Bounce" on the bottom of the sand wedge that skips the ball out of the sand bunker-Never dig it out-swing it out!
• Swing smooth and easy.
• Sand shots require a more vertical motion like drawing the letter "V"(clubhead)
• The motion is inside to inside NOT out side to inside.
• Hard sand use less bounce, 4-6 degrees.
• Soft sand use more bounce, 8-12 or more degrees
• Longer bunker shots use a 52 degree (lower)
• Short bunker shots use a 56 or 60 degree (high)
• Set-Up:Pick the correct wedge according to sand tecture and length of shot.
• Stance open to about 40 degrees-beginners stay square.(Left)
• Sand wedge slightly open--allows golfer to utilize more bounce.
• Ball position slightly forward (or middle)
• Weight on left foot slightly (75% left foot)
• Swing:Swing twice as hard compared to a pitch shot. (drag takes place)
• Hit about two inches behind ball. (see" egg drill")
• Complete the finish-like a full golf swing.
• Don't lift-it-out---let the clubhead do it.
• REMEMBER the shaft finishes vertical or slightly right of the target--never release and swing the club head around your body

• 1) Distance is much more important than direction
• 2) Try to roll long putts close to the hole (2-3 feet) There is too much pressure trying to make a 40-50 foot putt--be happy with a tap-in.
• 3) The stroke "favors" a gate type motion because a putter has a lie of 72degrees NOT 90 degrees.
• 4) Golfers that take a putter straight back and straight through "SELDOM" become a good putter.
• 5) The set-up:>Eyes over the line. (not the ball) >Putter aims to the hole with feet and body aligning parallel. >Good posture-- >There are many putting grips-I prefer the "reverse overlap " >Hands "Hang" below shoulders. >Hips and heels are in alignment with each other. >Bend form the hips-slight bend in the knees. >"MAKE SURE the PUTTER FITS"-especially the length! >Ball position slightly forward (assist hitting up on the putt)
• 6) Bonus comments:Get an O-Ball-make sure the circle rolls end-over-end. (A Must)Strokes should have similar rhythm no matter how long the putt. You do not have to make a putt-just do your very best and accept the results with a smile. Hit the putt on the third stroke-visualize and practice your feel on the first two. Stroke the putt and listen-golfers look-up way too soon (watch Tiger) Learn about ; into and down grain; breaking putts; types of grass and the term touch and feel. (online)
• Drills:1) Look at the hole,2) Putt with your eyes closed and3) Putt with the right hand only. (Tiger's favorite)
