New York Golf Tips

Helpful hints for all New York City Golfers

"Hit Down, Swing Up!"

This tip is all about feel.  The feel of making a full, free and effective golf swing.  

Start by feeling the tremendous club head speed generated on the down swing when you hit the ball.  This comes from  concentrating on taking a nice juicy divot.  Hit down hard, see the ball fly up!  Chase the ball with your club.  Let the momentum of your swing carry you all the way to a full finish.  Hit down, swing up!  Send your golf ball high and far.

The key to creating a free flowing swing is head position.  The head must remain fixed through contact.  Move the head and you slow the swing.  See the red dot in the photo, highlighting the correct head position.  The photo shows the arms swinging around this fixed point.  Keep your head still and let the arms go.  Feel the freedom and power from start to finish.

HIT DOWN  SWING UP!

Hold your head still, let the arms swing around a fixed point.
Hitting down on the ball creates momentum that will carry you all the way to the finish

Let the club chase the ball. Release the arms.  
Don't worry about swinging too fast.  Use a full body turn for balance.
