Golf Tip of the Month

The left arm (for a right-handed golfer) is a critical component of the golf swing, especially at impact.  It can tell you a lot about how the golfer is striking the ball. 

For example, if the left elbow is flexed and pointing at the target at impact, also known as a chicken wing, usually the golfer has an outside-to-in swing path and is trying to keep from pull-hooking the ball.  In this case the left elbow is creating an open club face to keep the ball from going left.

Item Thumbnail

The chicken wing can actually be desirable in certain situations, like pitch shots where you need the club face to remain open.  But for full shots, it can be the source of many other problems to follow.

The great Ben Hogan illustrates what the left wrist and elbow should look like at impact:

The shaft and left arm form a straight line to the left shoulder.  The left wrist is facing the target.  This is a perfect impact position. 

Practice getting to this position every time you swing for more consistent and powerful golf shots.

Ladies

The Ladies Golf Association will have their Club Championship on October 6th.  Ladies will be competing for regular medalist, Senior Medalist, Group Winners, Closest to the Pin, Longest Drive, Most Accurate Drive, and Fewest Putts.

The Beat-The-Pros Tie-Breaker will be held on October 13th.  Ladies have been sharpening their game to take on the Pros.  Rumor has it that the ladies are worried about Casey, Adam, and Luther... which is why they are practicing so hard.

The Ladies will finish their 2010 season on October 27th with an Orange Ball Halloween Challenge.
