Left-handed Pitch Shot
Posted on January 20, 2014 by Grant in Golf Fundamentals, Trouble Shots.
You might not need the left-handed pitch very often, but when you do need this shot, you will be glad you practiced it. I have used this shot fewer than 20 times in 6 years of tournament golf, but being able to execute it on the first try has sure come in handy. Here’s my […]

Posted on January 15, 2014 by Grant in Golf Fundamentals, Putting.

Golf Grip: Pointing the V’s
Posted on January 9, 2014 by Grant in Golf Fundamentals, Golf Set-up.
The “V’s” of the golf grip refer to the area where the forefinger and thumb come together on both hands. When you look at the grip from a face-on position, the idea is to have these V’s to be pointing in the same direction. It’s acceptable to have the “V’s” point anywhere between the […]

Golf Grip: Placing your glove hand correctly
Posted on January 8, 2014 by Grant in Golf Fundamentals, Golf Set-up.
Holding the club correctly with the glove hand promotes stability, mobility and consistency in your golf grip. Developing the correct grip is a tricky process. I’ve never seen a beginner golfer naturally put his/her hands on the club the right way the first time. Ever. All new golfers say that the correct grip feels […]

Club-face Alignment
Posted on January 1, 2014 by Grant in Golf Fundamentals, Golf Set-up.
One of the most common causes of a faulty swing is faulty club-face alignment. To hit a golf ball consistently, you want your address and impact club-face positions to match. The best way to swing a golf club is to start with the club-face square to the target line. This will give you the […]

My chipping set-up position ensures that I will make solid contact every time. Here’s 5 steps to perfect your chipping set-up: 1. I start with my feet close together.

Posted on November 22, 2013 by Grant in Golf Fundamentals, Golf Set-up.
Teeing the golf ball at the correct height makes a big difference in the outcome of your tee shot. Here’s how I do it: When teeing off with the driver, I like to have about 1/2 to 1/3 of the golf ball sticking up above the top of the club-head at address. I use […]

Golf Setup: Correct Knee Flex with the Driver
Posted on November 18, 2013 by Grant in Golf Fundamentals, Golf Set-up.
Correct knee flex with the driver is totally opposite of the knee flex needed for the green-side sand shot. With the driver, I want just a small amount of knee flex. This helps me stay level through the impact and allows me to stand up nice and tall on the finish. Too much knee flex […]
