Don't Be Scared!
|
Hey all, I recently produced and released a golf video on YouTube, talking all about weight shift. This video was inspired by my online and in-person lessons because it seems that many golfers are scared to move their weight with many trying to keep the head still. I'm sure many of your own playing partners have told you to keep your head down or that your head is moving too much but By trying to stay still, we create a whole raft of problems. Golf is a movement performed on an angle with an angular instrument, and we hit the ball a long way at speed without actually taking a step or a run, or even moving our feet at all. We need to be able to transfer the energy from foot to foot whilst we create the backswing. Then we drive down and across into the transition, and we drive and extend up through the lead side with rotation to create maximum power. Check out this YouTube video and let me know what you think. If this is something you struggle with and you feel like golf coaching with me (no matter where you are in the world) will help your game in the short, medium, and long term, then we can arrange a Zoom consultation to talk more about your game. https://calendly.com/cartersgolf/30min Best Regards Andy |

Happy Friday! If you’ve tried Pete Cowen’s spinning arm drill, you’ll know the idea: rotate the trail forearm to get the club working in the right direction. It’s a great drill, but a lot of golfers I coach can’t quite feel it. They end up confused about what their arms should be doing. So in this week’s video I show you an alternative: the motorcycle drill. Instead of thinking about your trail forearm, you focus on your lead wrist. You put it into more flexion, like revving a motorcycle...
Hi,I know you work hard on your game and gather your distances and I also know it’s frustrating when your performance on the course doesn’t improve. Greens in regulation don’t increase or distance from the pin doesn’t get closer. My question to you today is - Do you know your CARRY distances? You might think you hit your 7-iron 170 yards. But do you actually know your average carry distance? Do you know your gapping? Or which club is costing you the most shots around the greens?Often Golf is...
I played a tournament earlier in the year. Having not played for a couple of weeks leading up to the event due to wintry conditions here in the UK, I took to my stats to try and figure out the best game plan that I could come up with to best represent my game. And using my shot scope data, I found that one of my main strengths in tournament golf is hitting greens in regulation. For me, and for most golfers, there is a direct correlation with shooting lower scores when you hit more greens in...
