The Foundations Of A Solid Golf Swing
It is true that no two golf swings are the same - a number of factors including: height; weight; flexibility and range of motion contribute to each golf swing being unique, much like a finger print.

Leaderboard's Andrew Wild and Neal Granville offer some tips and advice on getting round the course - without taking all day.
Bad chipping and pitching can be very frustrating, and of course it can ruin your golf scores even if your long game is good.
The Power Tee system has a ball counting mechanism on it. As it brings up another ball, on the screen it'll tell me how many balls I've hit. That can work to our advantage in many ways.
To be a complete golfer, you need to practice all the shots you're going to face on the golf course. I was just playing a nice little punch shot there into a windy condition.
One of the things golf pros don't really have to worry about is the distance they're standing from the golf ball. The reason is that it's literally thousands and thousands of balls of practice, so they intuitively know how far to stand from the golf ball, regardless of the club they're using.
Is this practice session familiar to you? It is to me. I've seen it hundreds of times walking along golf ranges, people just rushing through shots, trying to get a good shot to go. As a result they rush, and they think that by going quicker it's going to help.
Throughout the ages in golf coaching and in golf practice, the way we hold the golf club - the golf grip - has always been considered one of the most important factors.
With modern technology, getting the tee at just the right height can make all the difference to giving you the maximum power. Plus, I know many of you like to experiment and hit different shots, especially the stinger shot that Tiger Woods likes to play. Again, the tee height is critical.
If you suffer from a slice, we can show you an exercise with the Power Tee that really will help.
One of the ways the Power Tee system can help you is to get you into the flow state. That means when you're at the golf ball, not spending too much time thinking about it.
The swing path is one of the biggest influences on how you're going to control the golf ball.
