One Minute Tips

Cheat the wind and hit it low

For: Players who struggle in the wind, hitting the ball too high, with little power, missing fairways and greens in windy conditions. This drill will teach you lower, more penetrating shots.

Drill: Hit shots from downhill lies, where the leading shoulder is lower than the rear shoulder. Begin making short swings, noting to take small divots after the ball. At first, this may be difficult and you may hit behind the ball. After you can make solid contact, increase the length of your swings. The resulting ball flight will be lower than normal and you will notice the weight transfer into the left side through impact. Try this a few times and remember the feeling of chasing the the ball through impact when you play in the wind.
