Pro’s Corner by Steve Wozeniak

Now that the season is here, it is a good time to revisit some drills that will greatly help with your fundamentals.  This month’s lesson is a reminder on how to perform the one arm drill.  This will train your body and arms how to work together and where the real power and consistency is in the golf swing. 

Nick Price was one of the best players in the world for years if not decades.  While doing this drill every day he started out with a wedge and worked his way up to a four wood and hit the ball extremely far for using just one arm.  You can also do this to help your chipping pitching and putting.  If you have not performed this before, make sure to start with only a seven or eight iron and use a short tee until you start hitting it great every time and only then change to longer clubs and hitting the ball off of the turf.  Get set up and put your left arm behind your back, this ties it in to the body.  Now holding the club with only your right arm where it normally is on the club hit a few easy shots at first and then work up to a longer motion later.  As you hit the ball you will notice how the club has to stay in front of you at all times and you can not manipulate it in any way.  Your body must move the arms to hit it with any kind of distance and accuracy at all.  You would never try to tuck the right arm in, retain the angle or wrist cock, stay behind the ball, keep the head still, flip the hands, or keep your weight on one side or the other as we try to do with other ill advised tips we may have heard.  The golf swing is about squaring a club to the back of a ball, it is not rocket science or complicated in any way.  It just takes a lot of practicing the correct fundamentals and that is all.  Next month I will talk about another great drill.  

If you would like to get all of the information you need to play great golf in a lesson.  Please call, email or come in any time for an appointment. 

Keep it simple,
