In other words, an intense focus on the target is likely to help you ‘zone in’ and hole more putts!

30% physical, 70% mental - Ben Hogan ⛳️

Despite his heavy influences on the way we perceive the golf swing today, it’s interesting to hear how Hogan still saw the game of golf as largely mental! 🧐

Nicklaus went even further, quoting that “The game of golf is 90% mental and 10% physical.” 💬

How would you describe golf?
___% mental, ___% physical

The awesome swing on Cameron Young who has been in contention this week at Rivera! 🙌

You’ll notice Young’s impeccable rhythm and power, helping lead strokes gained off the tee this week! I’m sure we’ll see more of this man in the future! 🏆

Nice breakdown of vintage Anthony Kim! Some great positions here! 🙌

It’s always interesting to note how AK gripped now the shaft throughout the bag!

Perhaps this is something more amateurs could do to gain more control and accuracy! 🤔

16/02/2022

A simple but effective drill from vintage Gary Player to work on a straight takeaway! 🙌

Simply lay a club down inside or outside the ball to use as a reference.

The club should go back straight for the first few inches and then start to slowly arc as the back swing progresses. ✅

15/02/2022

Some mental techniques from and his caddie! Having a clear mental picture and full commitment without negative thoughts are sound fundamentals for the metal game! 🙌

10/02/2022

Rhythm hack! 🏌️‍♂️ft young 😅 Simply hover the club behind the ball for a smoother takeaway and overall swing! 🙌

09/02/2022

Rory’s split handed drill! 🙌

This is Rory’s favourite drill! It allows him to feel a couple of things:
◾️ His arms get into a good position at the top of the swing (particularly with the right arm)
◾️The right arm is in front of him in the downswing. Rory’s hand path often gets too far inside caused by a trailing right arm.

Here’s a couple of pointers if you want to give this drill a try!:
◽️Lead hand on top of grip and trail hand on bottom of grip
▫️Take club to the top of the backswing then down into delivery
▫️Feel the proper position for both arms!

Tiger talks us through why he likes to feel as though he hits draws around the greens! 🐯

An in-to-out draw feel is a great shot to practice and incorporate into your short game! ⛳️

03/02/2022

How do you maintain a strong mental game? 🤔 Ft

Bryson argues that the mental game can only improve your performance marginally and it is your physical skill set that will lower your scores!

What do you think of this logic? Is golf really 90% mental and 10% physical like Nicklaus said?

02/02/2022

If you’re struggling to bring your range game to the course alignment could be a major problem stopping you from playing your best!

Nicklaus strongly advocates picking an ‘intermediate target’ about 3 feet in front of the ball.

This will allow you to hit shots on the course with confidence knowing that you’re aiming correctly! 🙌

01/02/2022

One of the most common mistakes from bunkers! ⚠️

Many players take their grip 𝘽𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 they open the face.

This leads to the twisting of the forearms out of position to get the face open.

Consequently, the club face is likely to return to the ball square once again.

This results in Poor strikes and direction control and many other potential problems!

So remember: set the club face open first and then take your grip! 🙌

In honour of becoming the leading tennis major winner, let’s take a closer looks Rafa Nadal’s golf swing! 🎾⛳️

Good to hear Rory talk us through some of his course management philosophies, applying this concept might save you a few shots! 📈

28/01/2022

Ernie talks us through his transitional feel of letting the club fall from the top! 🏌️‍♂️

It’s interesting to draw comparisons from player to player within their feels. Sergio (posted a couple of days ago) prefers to feel he is pulling down behind him from the top. 🤔

This shows how every player is different and what works for Ernie wouldn’t work as well for Sergio!

What’s more important is to find a feel that works for you and the way you swing the club! 🙌

26/01/2022

We’re used to seeing Tiger flush it but it’s always interesting to watch his errant shots to show that he is human after all! 😅

It looks like Tiger gets stuck on the inside here, perhaps not turning as well as he used to due to injury! (This swing is from 2009) Let me know your thoughts below! 👇

25/01/2022

explains his transition feels! 🏌️‍♂️

A tip Sergio gives to amateurs is to feel like they pull down from this top of their swing. This is great feel for slicers who turn quickly and get steep on the ball! ⏬

However it’s important to note that this feel won’t work for everyone as every player sequences the downswing differently! 🙌

21/01/2022

Simple but very effective drill from to help control low point! 🎯

Poor low point control is one of the leading causes of poor ball striking for amateurs, leading to many dropped shots particularly into and around the greens! ⛳️

The bunker will provide instant feedback and force you to hit in front of the line! 👊

20/01/2022

Tiger drawing in a 7 iron in 2013! 😍

It’s incredible how well Tiger uses the ground for both stability and power! You can see how well he loads the right side and then squats & turns 💪

What stands out the most to you here? 🧐

18/01/2022

One of the keys to Ernie’s smooth swing is a complete turn that allows him to ‘not rush’ the downswing.

Ernie likes to feel this with a central ball position and finds that he often over swings when the ball is too far forward in his stance.

Ernie’s feels:
• Left shoulder behind the ball > complete backswing
• Drop Into the slot
• Complete the follow through
(Easy game😂)

17/01/2022

An interesting feel here from Bryson 🤔‘Pushing’ through the ball could be a great sensation to try for anyone struggling with contact! 🏌️‍♂️

Using the body ft Gary Player! 🕺 Player explains that using the lower body to turn through the ball is a trait many great players share! 🏌️‍♂️

Could you be more effective if you used the lower body better in your swing? 🤔

12/01/2022

Some food for though from Gary Player regarding club selection out of bunkers! 🤔 Player argues that less loft gives more control and allows the ball to run out to the hole every time. What club do you play your bunker shots with? 🏌️‍♂️

🎥: 🙏

11/01/2022

Some swing thoughts from Vintage Ernie! (1996 memorial) 🏌️‍♂️Love how simple the Big Easy keeps things, reflected in his smooth, effortless motion! 🙌

*Ernie is my favourite swing right now 😍 Who is yours?

talks us through how he sets his arms up at address!

Really interesting to hear how he fixes his left arm in position and maintains this throughout the swing, almost as if he is a ‘golfing machine’! 🤖

Bryson’s methods are becoming more and more popular among golfers, would you give this set up a go? 🤔
