Golf: Turn and point

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...
Cornel

DESCRIPTION

To encourage the pupil to rotate their body correctly in order to maintain the extension of the arms in the forward swing.

Encourage the pupil to point their arm furthest from the target at the ball with the arm nearest to the target behind their back. Make a half swing back and forwards holding the forward swing finish position for a few seconds to check that the arm points at the target, the weight is onto the forward leg, and the body has turned to face the target.

    Feet Asleep / Awake | Start Golf - Long Game - Exercises

    Feet Asleep / Awake:

  • To encourage the pupil to develop feel for the correct lower body action during the swing.

    Encourage the pupil to make their swing imagining that their feet are asleep and steady during the backswing (1) and the rear foot wakes up in the forward swing (2). This is a particularly useful feeling for pupils who have overacting lower body motion in the backswing and little weight shift in the forward swing.
