| Mar 15 2009 - THE “RIGHT FOOT BACK” DRILL |
| For those players who fight a slice and the infamous over the top downswing, as well as those players who do not properly shift their weight, the “right foot back” drill will help create the proper sensation and technique of shifting the weight back and through. This is a fantastic drill for each player to feel and understand how the lower body initiates the downswing.

| Mar 9 2009 - FULL SWING – SEQUENCE DRILL |
| In the full swing technique, many players rely solely on their hands and arms to move the club to hit the ball. This causes the club to move in the backswing inconsistently – either under the plane or over the top of the plane. This forces the hands and arms to work over the top of the plane in the downswing with very little to no leg drive being generated.

Depending on the type of grass, whether hybrid Bermuda or bent grass, the speed of greens will always vary and putts can be controlled.

| Feb 15 2009 - BUNKER PLAY |
| The bunker shot can be the most intimidating shot in golf to a player. However, the bunker shot overall is the easiest. This is so because it is the only shot in golf where the player does not actually make contact with the ball.

| Feb 9 2009 - PUTTING – 5 TO 10 FEET |
| Many people struggle with 5 to 10 foot putts. As seen on television, many of the pros putt with long putters, belly putters, and many different styles of grip positions. Personally, I believe that many golfers, amateurs and professionals, struggle with putts in the 5 to 10 foot range because their eyes follow the ball which forces their body to move. Putting is the most precise component in the more |
