DARRELL KLASSEN INNER CIRCLE

FAULTS AND FIXES - PART 2" PAGE 1

This month we will fix... Keeping your head down... Shanking the ball... Reverse weight shift... Hybrids & Fairway woods... Consistent contact... Keep your left arm straight... Alignment issues... Fat & Thin chip shots...

Well, I hope you are doing well with the information in FAULTS AND FIXES, Part One. I am already receiving some marvelous comments on it. It seems to me that many of you have been confused by all of the regular information out there coming from the “famous” instructors.

In this Edition we are simply continuing with the various topics you have written to ask me to answer. Therefore, I will not take a lot of time getting into the meat of it.

FIX #10: CAN’T KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN

Boy! If I had a nickel for every time Iʼve heard this one, I would be retired and living on the beach in Hawaii, sipping mint juleps. In spite of this, I constantly tell golfers that keeping your head down is the simplest thing to do in golf. And all of the golfers said, “Thatʼs easy for you to say.”

I am totally serious. There is nothing to it, once you understand it.

Keeping you head down in the golf swing relates to your concept of swinging the golf club. When any of us swings the club with our arms, attempting to sweep the golf ball up and into the air, the main thrust of the swing itself is traveling upward. As a result of this we donʼt actually lift our head, but rather we lift, or stand up, in our entire spine.

I know you already understand that the head is connected to the spine, but most of you have never taken the time to analyze how that effects your golf swing. I did the same thing in my early years of playing the game, and I had to find a solution to it.

I may not look like it now, but I was a very good athlete when I was younger. I would swing the club and top the ball. Then my brother, another good athlete, or someone else playing with us would tell me I looked up and lifted my head.

That used to bug the daylights out of me, so I set myself to find the answer to it. I soon noticed that even when I topped the ball, I had in fact not looked up or taken my eye off the ball. I began to ask my self, “If Iʼm not looking up, then what is actually taking place when Iʼm topping the ball?”

That was when I discovered I was raising up with my entire spine.

Then I had to set out to find out why that was happening. That was when I discovered I was arm swinging and not swinging the club like swinging a baseball bat, using my hands.

That was a huge key to me in my own golf swing, as well as in my teaching. That was yet another point which convinced me the golf swing is a hand motion, and not an arm swinging motion, as we are commonly taught.

Swinging the arms almost guarantees us we will raise up in the spine during the swing, lifting our head, and top the ball.

1. Stand tall with your weight in your arches and not in your toes. 2. Take several practice swings using your hands like you would in a baseball swing. 3. Do not hit the ground yet. Just get used to snapp ing the c lubhead downward into the golf swing, instead of yanking or pulling the club downward to initiate the downswing.4. Once you can feel how to use the hands to swing the club like a baseball bat (and an imaginary ball resting on the turf), then begin to lower your swing gently, until you begin to cut the turf down to the earth during the swing. 5. Do that without a golf ball until you can consistently cut the grass right at the dirt. When you can do that, you are ready to try it with golf balls. Now you are able to swing free and your head will stay down every time.

ADVANCED

If you will take a club and chop the earth directly out in front of you, just like chopping a log lying on the ground, you will immediately discover that it is physically impossible to look up, lift your head, or raise up in your spine.

FIX #11: SHANKING THE BALL

Golfers have traveled to see me from every corner of the globe to have me fix their shanking problem, and it is one of the simplest things in the game to repair. The shanked shot is nothing more than a wide open club face.

If the shank were actually caused by swinging out and away from your body, then we would hit the ball with a variety of places on the hosel of the club. If you stop to think about that, it would mean there would be times when we would “shank” the ball between our legs and not ALWAYS outward and away from us.

Let me first give you the explanation of why it happens. When we attempt to pull the clubhead forward through the hitting area WHILE AT THE SAME TIME attempting to keep the club face square to the target (this happens predominantly with the wedges for super control on short

shots), we automatically pull with the heel of the front hand.

Take a normal address position with a wedge in your hands. Then rotate the heel of your left hand (for righties) until it faces the target. Your club face is wide open!! More important is the fact that you have automatically, at the same time, swung the hosel of the club outward a bit.

Thus we hit the club usually in the hosel, but the club face is wide open. Close the face and try to shank the ball. It cannot be done!! FIXED!!***

FIX #12: REVERSE WEIGHT SHIFT

Golfers will often tell me when booking a private lesson, “I hope you can help me. I do not seem to be able to make a proper weight shift. I always end up on my back foot, and the weight hasnʼt shifted.” I assure them this is not a problem in the least, but they have a hard time believing me, until they see how simple it is to remedy.

At the lesson, I quickly see they are

actually making a reverse weight shift. The weight ALWAYS shifts in a golf swing. Period. If you are finishing on your back foot, then your weight is going to your front foot some time in the swing. And, by the way, it is obviously not at the correct time. We can fix that, though, by following a very simple little formula.

Here is the secret. Start with more weight on your back foot and hip. I know that sounds too simple, but thatʼs all there is to it. There are some things which automatically take place when we do that. First, it totally eliminates the bodyʼs ability to swing with its arms and forces us to swing with our hands–working UP & DOWN.

It is important for me to show you how to get your weight onto your back foot at the address position, and here it is. Stand up straight so your weight is in your arches. Then, while gripping the club in the air, lower the sole of the club (any club) to the earth, so it rests flat on the ground.

Now tilt your chest a bit to the right. This will cause your left hip to move slightly forward, and your weight will move right into your back hip and foot. Done. This will usually feel a bit strange to you, but it is how all of the tour players set up to the ball.

Iʼm going to do the “Address” position a bit farther down in this Edition, and I will have more to say there. For now, all I want you to do is to take several practice swings with your weight starting more on your back foot. If you feel as though you cannot swing the club, it is because you are trying to swing it with your arms. When the weight is on the back foot you cannot swing the club with your arms. The body canʼt do it.

You will soon notice that when you swing the club with the weight more on the right foot and you are swinging it more like you would a baseball bat, that your weight automatically transfers to the front foot sometime during the swing.

Make hundreds of practice swings like this before you go the range and attempt to hit any golf balls. That will give your subconscious mind time to accept the new move when standing over a golf ball.

There could possibly be one other thing which could be causing the reverse weight shift, and that is raising your arms in order to get the club to the top of the backswing. [see photoʼs next page...]

When we lift our arms in order to get the club high in the backswing, we inadvertently reverse our right tilt to the left, and the weight goes to the left side.

FIX #13: CAN’T HIT THE HYBRIDS OR FAIRWAY WOODS

There is no way possible to tell you how many golfers tell me they cannot hit their fairway woods or their hybrid clubs. It would blow your mind. Yet these are very simple clubs to hit, when you know what you are doing.

The thing most golfers do is they forget what I call the number one law in golf. That is the law of physics which demands we have back spin on the golf ball in order to create lift and flight. A golf ball cannot stay in the air very long without backward spin. Period.

The reason I go there right off the bat is that every golfer I have ever seen on the lesson tee who cannot hit their fairway woods or their hybrid clubs has the same problem. They struggle under the belief

that they have to “get under the ball and lift it” into the air. They do not believe a golf ball will fly by simply putting backward spin on it.

When any golfer comes to me with this problem, the first thing I have them do is to make several practice swings with the face of their club wide open. The open face puts a lot of “bounce” on the sole of

If you are starting your swing with your weight on your back side and still end up there look for the reverse weight shift to be taking place just prior to the top of your backswing. If you make certain you keep

your weight on your back side all the way to the top, you will find it much easier to complete the backswing with the wrists than with the arms, and your weight shift will work like it is supposed to work.

The other reason you reverse weight shift... Lifting your arms to the top to the backswing. Don’t do that. Use your wrists and hands to pick the club up.


PAGE 6

the club, and it will work just like the toe of a ski. The clubhead will skip, or bounce, right off the ground when they hit it.

I ask them to make the clubhead skip off the turf with all of these practice swings. When the face is open and they learn to skip the sole of the club off the turf in the exact and specific spot they have predetermined (in other words, they have learned to bounce

the clubhead off the turf right where they want every time), then they are ready to start hitting golf balls.

Donʼt attempt to control your shots at the start. Just learn how to bounce the sole of the fairway wood or the hybrid exactly at the back of the golf ball, and you will begin to see nice consistent contact on the ball. You will also see the ball up and flying–without you trying to help it in any way.

If you havenʼt already done it, apply just tilt your chest a bit toward the back foot. This will help you feel like you are swinging the club and coming into the golf ball at just a little bit of a shallower angle, and the ball will fly even higher.

Stop trying to lift the golf ball off the turf with the fairway woods and the hybrids and you will find success in no time at all. Learn to trust the physics and engineering of the club heads and the golf balls, and you will be on your way to hitting them with no trouble.

ADVANCED

FIX #14: CANNOT MAKE CONSISTENT CONTACT WITH THE GOLF BALL

I put this one right behind the one on the fairway woods and the hybrids for a very specific reason. Golfers struggle with making consistent contact on the golf ball for basically two reasons. Well maybe three.

REASON 1. The first is the fact that they cannot hit the turf consistently with any club in their bag, just like the fairway woods and hybrids information. Anyone breathing

and walking can take any golf club in their bag and hit the earth in a chopping motion.

" EDITION 10


When I ask golfers to perform this simple task for me, none of them ever fails. Yet the same golfer, when attempting to strike the ground the same way while “chopping” from a backswing position, struggles terribly. When I see this struggle begin, I do nothing more than ask them to be sure to strike the earth while continuing the motion.

If I go into any explanation of a golf swing, they become even more confused. That is why I work so diligently to keep this whole thing as simple as possible. When we talk about a golf swing, the human mind automatically imagines something complicated. However, whenever I can stay with every day terminology, golfers seem to catch right on to the instruction.

This brings me to a very important point. If you have struggled with any of the instruction I have provided, then I want you to go back and read the exact words I have written or spoken. Do your best to not see it as a swing, but try to erase every thought about the golf swing you have ever heard. Then try to simply perform the tasks I have presented to you. If you can do that, a great golf swing will show up without your help.

REASON 2. A very good second reason golfers have such a difficult time striking the turf consistently is due to the way they are using their wrists. Most golfers golfers employ their wrists in a slapping or patting motion. I see this to a great extent in the chip shots.

If we are chipping, when we take a normal stance and grip, the slapping and patting motion of the wrists causes the club to move back and forth through a swing,

and it always feels like it is so perfect. Nevertheless, it is one of the worst things you could ever do in a golf swing for several reasons.

In geometry, the arms and the shaft of the club (even though they are moving they are somewhat straight at the bottom of the golf swing) form a type of a radius. Whenever we bend the radius, we also shorten it. Therefore, if we do not make some other compensating motion during the swing we will consistently top the golf ball.

This is such a cri t ical piece of information, and golfers fight it like the plague. Even teachers write to tell me what a fool I am for teaching this. In spite of all that, if you will record any tour player in the world, and simply play the recording back in slow motion, you will see it so plainly.

When golfers watch a swing on video they typically look at the swing as a whole.

The wrists work up and down in the golf swing. While I like to emphasize this fact, almost all of the “big famous” guys like to briefly mention it from time to time.

However, it is one of the most important things about the golf swing. When a golfer finally realizes the hands work up and down, all of the mystery of the golf swing is gone.


PAGE 8

ADVANCED

If you will take the opportunity to watch a swing in slow motion it will make you a believer. ONLY watch the tour players wrists from somewhere outside their back leg and on up to the top of the backswing. When you do that several times it will dawn on you that their wrists are hinging, or cocking, UPWARD.

My statement from there is simple. What is the opposite of upward? DOWNWARD!! The hands work up and down in the golf swing. They do not slap or flip from side to side. Because they work up and down, then they are also required to rotate a bit in order to work perfectly naturally. This, as I continue to emphasize, is a baseball swing. Simple!!

When the wrists work up and down the fullest extent of the radius of the golf swing is maintained automatically through the hitting area. That, after all, is the only place in the golf swing where the fully extended radius is important, because it guarantees the club will swing back to the earth properly.

In the golf swing the wrists automatically hinge, or cock, up and therefore they have no choice but to then also unhinge down, which is nothing but a simple hammering motion.

No wonder I call the golf swing simple. Itʼs all of the other things instructors introduce which make the game seem to be difficult.

Hands just go UP and DOWN

Hands go up & down from the side = golf swing

" EDITION 10


This is very important, if you ever expect to make a good turn with rotation to the target at the finish of your swing. In order to accomplish the turn to the target we must have our left leg straight and our weight in our left heel at the finish.

As I just stated in the Reverse Weight Shift section, I want you to stand erect while taking a proper grip on a club. You will notice that your weight is neither in your heels nor in the balls of your feet.

Your weight is directly and perfectly in your arches.

This is where the weight should be for a good address and a great golf shot.

That is DEAD WRONG for a very good reason.

In golf we are in motion, BUT WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE! In all of the active sports like baseball, basketball, tennis, and football we are also in motion, but we are always prepared to move in another direction fairly quickly. In order to change directions rapidly we must have our

weight more in the toes, however we donʼt need that for golf at all.

When the weight is in the balls of our feet, the human body has a very difficult time making a turn. In fact, it cannot make a turn when the front knee is flexed, and when the weight is in the balls of our feet and in the toes, the knees are ALWAYS flexed.

Instructors have constantly told us to “flex our knees” at address, and this AUTOMATICALLY places the weight in the balls of the feet. They should not teach the game, if they donʼt know what they are doing–thatʼs my personal opinion.

If we take a moment to do what I call “reverse engineering” the facts, then it is much easier to come to a correct solution. We know we have to be in the left heel with a straight leg in order to make the turn. If you donʼt want to take my word for it, feel free to give it a try. It simply cannot be accomplished without the weight in the front heel and the front leg straight.

FIX #15: TAKING A PROPER ADDRESS

“For as long as I have been playing the game, and that’s over 55 years, golf professionals have taught that your weight should be just in or just behind the balls of your feet.”


PAGE 10

This could be the shortest of all the “Faults and Fixes” program, because my answer, or fix is, “GOOD!!” in reality that should be all that is necessary to be said on the subject.

When I was a youngster I occasionally had the privilege of seeing pictures of some of golfʼs legends: Harry Vardon, Old Tom Morris, Jock Hutchinson, Bobby Locke, and the like. In these photos these legends of the game typically had their left elbow anywhere form slightly bent to almost

ADVANCED

FIX #16: CAN’T KEEP YOUR LEFT ARM STRAIGHT

Knowing that is a pure hard fact, then we need to examine a few things to see how we can most easily arrive in that position. If we stand with our knees flexed and the weight in the balls of our feet, then we must SLIDE to the front foot prior to straightening the front leg in time for the rotation to take place.

WOW!! That sounds like a lot of work to me. What if we stand erect for a moment. We donʼt even need a golf club for this, unless you want to use it for steadying yourself as you make the turn. Stand with most of your weight on your back foot and then as you allow the front hip to move out of the way, swing all the way up onto the tip of your right toe. When you do that your weight moves gently into your left foot and hip.

It only takes one try at that to realize how natural it is. Now, take your club and swing standing up straight. Start with extra weight on your right side and simply swing at an imaginary low pitch in baseball. I do not want you to take a step. The extra weight on the back hip and foot accomplish the same thing for the golf swing.

As you make these baseball swings your weight moves freely and naturally from the back to the front. Continue this exercise each time lowering the swing until the club starts brushing the earth and you are set for life.

Expect to be standing closer to the golf ball and taller (more erect) at address. This keeps the weight in the arches when we are standing over the golf ball.

completely collapsed. I couldnʼt figure out how they had become such great players using that technique.

Then, when I first realized how important i t i s t o l e a r n t o s w i n g t h e c l u b “naturally” (Iʼm not talking about the Natural Golf System), it only made sense to me to allow both myself and my students to have a flexed elbow at the top of the backswing.

When we use a hammer to drive a nail we do not swing the hammer with a straight arm. It is nearly impossible to accomplish the task with a straight and stiff elbow.

The elbow must be flexed in order to hammer, and it must be relaxed enough so it can also flex in a good golf swing.

I know that one goes directly upstream and against the flow of things in the golf teaching industry, but that doesnʼt bother me. My students, the ones who will follow the plan I lay out for all of you, always–and I do mean ALWAYS–make improvement.

Just recently I saw a man I had not seen in a few years. He was at the driving range hitting a basket of practice balls and I was between lessons. I went over to say hello and to give him a little help with his swing. He was pulling almost every shot and therefore said to me, “I keep coming over the top and canʼt seem to get it corrected.”

I moved to the target side of him and to the left of his stance, and I asked him to swing the club at me. He did, so I asked him if that was difficult. He assured me it was quite simple, so I moved a few yards off to the right of his stance and asked him to swing at me

again.

He hesitated for a few moments to think about it and then he promptly proceeded to swing the club right at me. I asked him if that was a difficult task and he once again assured me it was quite simple to do.

I then moved around to a safe place where I could observe easily and told him to do that swing with a golf ball. He was hitting his driver. On the very first swing he hit the golf ball slightly out to the right of his intended target and drew it gently back toward the center of the range.

He just stood there with his mouth wide open, and then said, “I could never afford your instruction, but if you were to charge me by the minute, it only took 3 or 4 minutes to put me on the correct path. Iʼve been to three other golf pros in the area and none of them could help me.”

My student came about then, so the gentleman thanked me and I was on my way.

Use your wrists, stay loose, let your elbow bend. It’s natural.. reduces tension.. and let’s you ‘whip’ that club through easily.


PAGE 12

ADVANCED

While I was spending those few moments with him I asked him to let his elbow flex in his golf swing, and he immediately started swinging the club with his wrists, rather than his arms.

He got more out of a 3 to 4 minute tip than he had in three hours and $300 out of his pocket at other places. That isnʼt meant to be boastful. It is for the purpose of trying to persuade you to relax and use some common sense in this game. The golf swing itself is a very simple and natural motion and actually takes absolutely no thought whatsoever.

It amazed him how the natural motion of hammering or chopping causes the left arm to straighten automatically as it enters the hitting area. That is the only place where the left arm needs to be straight, and it is not for the reason most of you believe.

The only reason we need for the left arm to straighten as the club travels through the hitting area is so we can CONSISTENTLY skip the sole of the club off the turf in the same manner.

I had a lady a recently who was having trouble hitting all of her shots from within 100 yards of the green. I watched her hit a few shots and then announced to her she was a mental basket case. I always like to see the look on a golferʼs face when I say something like that, but there is a very good reason for it.

When we both “agreed” and chuckled over the comment, I then proceeded to explain what I meant by the statement. Listen closely here, and you will learn something very important to your golf swing.

I told her the reason I said she was a mental basket-case was BECAUSE SHE WAS NOT A PHYSICAL CASE. When she asked what I meant by that I knew she was ready to really hear what I was going to share with her.

I told her that her golf swing was just fine. There was no problem with her golf swing at all. There was only a problem with how she was going about applying the swing, and that is why I call it mental.

She was trying to keep her left arm straight, because a friend had informed her it was flexing in the swing. That had led her to attempting to guide everything as perfectly as possible. I had her take several practice swings, focusing only on bouncing the sole of her club off the ground.

When she had done that enough times to satisfy both of us, I had her try to merely skip the club off the ground right at the golf ball. Immediately, she started hitting great shots, and I shared with her that her left a r m w a s n o w s t r a i g h t a t i m p a c t AUTOMATICALLY. This surprised her, because she told me “she couldnʼt feel it” happening. That was because the arm was now relaxed, like it was supposed to be.

When the left arm is straight through impact, we are more easily able to consistently scrape the ground the same, swing after swing. However, it does not have to be straight anywhere else in the golf swing.

This is a very common problem in the search for making consistent golf shots, and it really has very little to do with playing the game or hitting good shots. I know that

" EDITION 10


one doesnʼt make sense to most of you, but itʼs the truth.

There is a bit of physics to consider on this issue, and you need to at least have some exposure to it. The information will help you immensely, if you will take the time to digest it and to understand it.

Whenever a moving object collides with an object which is at rest, the object which is at rest will be propelled in the same direction which the moving object is traveling. Translating that to everyday language as it relates to the golf swing, the golf ball will fly, or travel, in the same direction you swing the club.

LEARN THIS: The club face does not guide the golf ball. It only produces spin on the ball. Backward spin makes the golf ball rise, and side spin makes the ball curve either left or right. That is all the club face is designed to do.

Granted, one could hold the club face extremely out of position and it would have an effect on the direction the ball would go, but the golf ball is basically going to fly in the direction we swing the club. Then the club face will cause the ball to curve either left or right from that original path or direction.

It is a statistical fact that it only takes 2° difference in the driver face to hit a golf ball into the trees, rather than down the middle of the fairway–that is for a 250 yard drive. That tiny little 2° is enough to cause the ball

to curve into the rough and trees, instead of landing in the middle of the fairway.

If you do not know how much 2° is, you need to take the time to search it out and learn it. 2° on the club face is NOTHING. It is hardly detectable, even with the proper instruments.

If that tiny 2° makes that much difference in the face of your driver on a 250 yard drive, then the same tiny 2° in your alignment should make the same difference in your swing direction and your shot. I promise you, there is not a human being walking the face of the earth who can line up within that 2° tolerance for a golf shot. He nor she has ever been born, and never will be.

As golfers we need to learn to swing the club where we want the golf ball to travel. If that sounds difficult to you, take a few moments to really stop and think about it. I stand out in front of a golfer (on the target side of their swing–no golf balls for this one) both to the left,and then to the right of their intended alignment and ask them to

FIX #17: STRUGGLE WITH ALIGNMENT


PAGE 14

swing the club at me. Even the beginners can do it, and without any thought at all.

I have them leave their feet in the same alignment, and I move from side to side asking them to swing the club at me, and not one golfer in all my years of teaching has struggled to do it. Then I write about it, as I am doing right now, and at least a hundred of you will write to ask what I mean. All I want you to do is to make some swings which go to the left, and then to the right of your target, from the same stance and alignment.

That is how simple it is to guide, or control a golf shot. All we have to do is to swing the club where we want to go. Golfers, though, typically align their feet improperly, and THEN THEY PROCEED TO SWING TO THEIR STANCE, rather than to the target. It breaks my heart to see golfers struggle like that, because they believe they have an alignment problem. In reality they have a swing path and target awareness problem.

ADVANCED

FIX #18: FAT AND THIN CHIP SHOTS

I realize not all of you hit your chip shots fat, and not all of you hit your chip shots thin. However, they are both caused by the same very common problem. Therefore, I am lumping them together in this Edition of the Faults and Fixes.

In a good golf swing, the hands always work up and down, like they would in hammering. As I have stated on numerous prior occasions, I have never found a golfer who could not take his or her grip on the club and chop the earth with it. This is the exact motion the hands are supposed to make in a chip shot. One of my students, Harold (watch this

video clip on my site), had the privilege of playing a round of golf with Phil Mickelson a few years ago, and Phil was totally blown away by the way Harold uses his hands in the short game.

Here we have probably the greatest short game wizard of all time, and he is complimenting my student on the proper use of the hands in the short game. Harold

The reason golfers hit fat and thin chip shots is from using their hands and wrists in a back and forth, or side to side motion.

" EDITION 10


This is Patting motion.. using wrists side to side... leads to INCONSISTENT contact.

uses his hands for chipping, but he uses them in an up and down motion–not in a side to side motion.

The reason golfers hit fat and thin chip shots is because they use their hands incorrectly... in a back and forth, side to side motion.

This motion is one I call “patting.” If you were to hold your hand(s) out in front of you and move your wrist(s) from side to side, you would be making a slapping or patting motion.

If we take an address position with a club in our hands, making this patting or slapping motion SEEMS to be the perfect motion for a chip shot. That is because this motion does make the clubhead move back and forth through the swing. It also helps us feel as though we can easily sweep or scoop the ball upward and into the air. Everything about this motion gives the illusion of being just the perfect motion for a chip shot.

However, nothing could be further from the truth. When we use this slapping or patting motion the clubhead will consistently either hit the ground too early, or miss the

ground entirely–causing us to skull the ball across the green.

In making a good chip shot, the hands should work up and down like they are hammering. I consistently ask my golfers to tap the earth with the sole of the clubhead. This tapping motion, when moved to the backswing side makes the perfect chipping motion and golf swing.

Read all of that i n f o r m a t i o n over a few t imes, and

watch the playing lesson on the DVD. You’ll have no trouble at a l l understanding the wrists work correctly in the swing.



I have never had a student fail to tap the earth using this feeling and motion. When we tap the earth EXACTLY at the bottom of the golf ball, we put backspin on the golf ball...

After two complete Editions on FAULTS and FIXES, you should be off and running. Donʼt be led astray by all of the smoke and

mirrors out there in the teaching industry. It is an industry which is in complete shambles. Golf pros are making tons of money, and golfers are statistically not making any real improvement.

That is why I have worked so hard down through the years to break all of this information into plain conversation for you. I want golfers around the world to begin to realize there really isnʼt as much to the golf swing as they have always thought. After all, itʼs not rocket science. All we are attempting to accomplish is to send a little white ball SPINNING off into the air.

Backspin makes it fly and side spin makes it curve. It really couldnʼt be any simpler than that. I hope this has opened your eyes to loads of information you can trust. Go to work on it and have a basket full of fun.

Remember to sit in your easy chair and think about all of this–A LOT!

Next Month...Edition 11 we are camping out on the fairway, hitting and working out the easiest, foolproof way to hit your fairway woods and hybrids (then I’" show you some of the other cool stuff you can do with these clubs) to get away from trouble and get the ball back up and flying down the fairway... See you next time.
