By David Knighton, Head Golf adjust your aim slightly to accommodate. For some Professional people, aiming at twelve and swinging through one works the best while others may prefer the one and two combos. The long-held belief that in order to hit a draw, you need to close the clubface to Putting a few tees in the ground in front of your ball may the target and swing normally is danger- help you visualize the different 'times' and target lines and ous and usually results in snap hooks. can help you feel what the swing should be like. Try and get The first principle, which has been proven by the club moving over the tee to the right after you strike the modern technology such as Trackman, is that the path of ball for a feeling of where the path of the club should be the club needs to be more to the right than your clubface in heading. order for a draw to be achieved. The second principle is Give a few of these tips and drills a try and see if that draw that the starting direction of your shot is determined by the just might be something you're able to hit. If you still need position of your clubface and not your club path. Bringing any help, feel free to ask me for any help. See you next these two things together, you can see that to hit a draw, the month on the practice tee. path of the club has to go more to the right than the face is pointing. How much further to the right depends on what club you hit, with the rule of thumb being the longer the club distance, the fewer degrees between path and clubface you need. Maybe 0.5 degrees for your driver and 3 degrees for your wedge. To make things simple, keep this simple phrase in your mind when over the ball: The clubface must be closed to the path of the club, not to the target. Set-up To Hit A Draw Knowing that the clubface must be closed to the path of the club, there are a few key points in your set-up that will help you achieve the combination necessary to hit a draw. To start, aim your clubface directly at the target or wherever you want the ball to end up. Next, aim your feet directly at, GAME NIGHT or just to the right of the target as this will help start the swing on an in-to-out path needed to create the draw Sugarmill Woods CC movement. Finally, grip your club as you normally would, but slightly rotate your right hand clockwise around the Tuesday, grip so that your thumb is sitting at about the one o'clock position. Strengthening your grip like this allows your March 10th, 2020 arms and hands to release and rollover on the downswing, letting your clubface square up to the target in the position where it needs to be – closed to the path of the club. The last part is probably the hardest, but without it the clubface will end up square, or even to the right of the path, resulting in a much-dreaded block or slice. Try to avoid flipping your wrists over too much as this will start the ball to the left and result in a hook! Easy Drill If you're out on the range or playing a casual round, this drill can help groove the feeling of generating a club path to the right of the clubface – it's very simple. Imagine a clock face on the ground with your ball in the very middle. Let twelve o'clock point to the target. To hit a consistent draw, aim your clubface at one o'clock and swing the club through two o'clock. The basic principle of a closed clubface to the path will result in a draw shape. Take note of where the ball starts and ends and 4 Message From The PROUDLY Presents Membership Director the 36th annual

Golf Golf balls are like eggs. They're white, they're sold by the dozen, and every week you have to buy more. A pro-shop gets its name from the fact that you have to have the income of a pro golfer to buy anything there. It's amazing how a golfer who rarely helps out around the house will replace divots, repair ball marks, and rake sand traps. Did you ever notice that it's easier to get up at 6 a.m. to play golf than at 9 a.m. to mow the lawn? It takes longer to learn golf than it does brain surgery. But you can't ride on a cart, have a beer, and eat hot dogs while doing brain surgery. A nice drive on the 18th hole has stopped many a golfer from giving up the game. Golf is the perfect thing to do on Sunday because it makes you pray a lot. A good partner is always one who's slightly worse than you. If your opponent has trouble remembering whether he shot a six or a seven, he might have shot an eight.
