What a fantastic tool. I 've found a few drills that are unfamiliar,...

Wes, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

Gate | Start Golf - Long Game - Exercises

Gate:

To encourage the pupil to develop central club face contact

Place 1 or 2 tees either side of the object tee or ball to create a ?gate? for the club to swing through at impact (1). Start with a fairly wide gate, gradually narrowing as the pupil improves their skill. A similar drill is achieved with just one tee on the outside of the ball (2).

Encourage the pupil to imagine shaking hands with someone at the point where the club shaft reaches waist height and parallel to the ground in the backswing (1). The front leading edge of the blade should point vertically (similar to the lift up and check drill in preparation) (2).

Over The Coin | Start Golf - Long Game - Exercises

Over The Coin:

To encourage the pupil to perceive the intended target line and check clubface alignment

Encourage the pupil to place a coin, a short distance in front of the ball (within the pupils peripheral vision) as an intermediate point between the ball and the target (1). The pupil can use this to check alignment during practice (2). On course the pupil can use a piece of grass or a divot to serve the same purpose.
