If you keep your arm straighter you will be able to get to impact zone easier.

Great putting tips from Rory McIlroy.

Focus on balance and avoid going to your toes.

At Beaver Golf we teach the importance of staying grounded in the swing.  Unfortunately some students overcompensate and then forget to swing.  Watch the video to avoid being too still. 

To schedule a lesson call or reach out through this website.  

I talk to all of my students about deliberate practice instead of just hitting a bunch of balls.  This means your practice has to be different, you have to slow down and feel what's happening in your swing.  By doing this you will soon be able to feel where the club is located in relation to your body. 

This is why drills are so important.  If you can own your swing to this level you can have more control of where the ball lands.   Unfortunately, this mindset can be hard to adapt but if you put in the effort the results will come.  Just watch this video of Tiger from the early days and you will see what I mean.  

Teaching in the Golf Learning Center at Commons Park is a complete joy for me so when I was asked to share a few tips that the Village of Royal Palm Beach could post on social media I was happy to help.  The following are some simple tips that every golfer should keep in mind when they are practicing:​

The biggest obstacle that some of my students have is the golf ball.  They are determined to swing at the ball instead of focusing on their swing and allowing the ball to simply get in the way.  This sounds simple to comprehend but for a golfer who is determined to use his body to make the ball go far, it seems far more complicated.  I call these golfers aggressive.

There is nothing wrong with being aggressive in how you approach the shot but attacking the ball will always lead to frustration.  As a result, I spend a lot of time talking to my students about how to visualize the shot.  They need to see the shot happening in their mind because the brain controls the body.  I firmly believe if you have a specific outcome in your mind your body will create that outcome.  The idea is to program your brain to focus on the spot where the ball needs to land instead of obsessing over hitting the ball. 

Recently, one of my students shared an article because it reminded him of what I keep telling him.  It is a good read, check it out below:

A GREAT STORY!!

While this story may have been altered from its original format to appeal to golfers,  there is a lot we can learn from it.
