Golf: Arms and Shoulders

I am currently coaching a senior college team and I have found Sportplan...

Kiri, Coach

DESCRIPTION

To encourage the player to get a feel for the correct putting stroke

Players begin by clapping their hands together (1) and swing using the arms and shoulders (2). Lower body should remain steady. This gives a feel of using the correct motion rather than the wrists and lower body.

'Spot On' Landings:

To encourage the pupil to focus on their intending land point when chipping.

Place a circle of tees, hoop etc around one to two paces onto the green. Encourage the pupils to start by throwing the ball underarm to develop the feel for the required distance then move onto a chipping club and encourage the pupils to land in this circle and monitor how often they hit the land point and to the roll distance with created with various clubs.

Under the Bench:

To encourage the pupil to imagine the correct action & technique for chipping

Encourage the pupil to imagine that they need to hit the ball under an imaginary bench (1). This requires the correct preparation and action (e.g. downwards contact)

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).
