Brooke Henderson vs. Daniel Berger – Not So Different
Backswings: The club don’t matter One of the more common questions that I get from students is “where should the club be in the backswing.” Common thought and past instruction would teach that the club ideally needs to get into a parallel position at the top.

Student Spotlight – Mike Gilmartin
I wanted to keep with the backswing theme this week, so I highlighted Mike Gilmartin. Mike began taking lessons in 2013 and fully committed to the season series this summer and I’m glad he did! When Mike first came to me, he was very rigid, and lacked a lot of rotation. Everything happened on top […]
Student Spotlight – Mike Adolfae

Post up drill
This drill will help you post up on your back swing and make the proper weight transfer through the ball. Do this drill on the range or at home. I would recommend that you hit 10 balls, make 10 drill swings and repeat. That will allow you to teach you muscles to move properly with […]
