Golf: Brush Away

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...

DESCRIPTION

To encourage the pupil to gain the correct feel for the first move away of the club into the backswing.

Encourage the pupil to place a golf tee or second ball opposite the foot furthest from the target, just inside of the ball to target line (1). The player should be able to brush this object away by keeping the club head generally close to the ground in the first stages of the backswing (2).

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.

Island Hopper:

SET-UP:
Place a number of 'islands' on the practice area using hoops, cones etc. Divide players into teams.

ACTIVITY:
The first player in each team attempts to chip the ball from the tee onto the island. If successful the whole team move to that island and the next player in the team then attempts to chip the ball onto the next island.
If a player misses then the next player tries until one member of the team has been successful.

Ball Flight:

This tip demonstrates how each club should have a different flight angle.

Place a p-wedge, 7 iron and a 3 iron on the grond with the club face facing the sky. Gently stand on the club face. There should be a noticable difference between the p-wedge and 3 iron.
