13.01.2022 Two Weeks Remaining for the next Programs! Also How to Cure the Over the Top Move (Slice) These being the 4 Week Challenge and Ladies Golf Programs!! The 4 Wee...k Challenge commences on the 24th of March and the Ladies Golf Program commences on the 11th of April. Both programs are open to players of all skill levels. There are two options for the program: Option 1: 4 Weeks plus Course Lesson $265 Option 2: 4 Weeks Only $199 If you would like to register please contact myself on M:0423524673 or email:[email protected] How to Cure the Over the Top Move (Slice) The ‘over the top’ swing is the most common problem move in golf. First of all describing the ‘over the top’ move is simply someone who swings the club on an in path as they swing through the shot. For a right handed golfer that means swinging it toward the left as they swing through and for a left hander it means swinging toward the right. The result of the ’over the top’ move is a pull shot to the left and a slice shot to the right. The causes of this move are a combination of factors. First of all the alignment. Typically someone with this move has one part of heir body aiming left whether it be the shoulders, hips, knees or feet. Alignment greatly influences swing path. The other is a steep back swing. When someone swings the club too upright, they tend to swing on an inside path on the downswing which causes that ball to start to the left. Vice Versa if someone swings it a long way inside on the backswing, the natural response on the way down is a move that causes the club to be thrown away from the body resulting in the club travelling on an inside path again. Lastly and the most common cause of the ‘over the top’ is an overactive upper half. A lot of people as a result of the club being attached to their arms, try and hit the ball with the upper half and forgetting to use their legs. The result of not using the legs to start the down swing causes the club to be thrown away from the body and thus working down on an inside path resulting in that dreaded slice. Now to fix this ‘over the top’ move first of all the alignment has to be parallel to your intended line. Second you need to make a good turn and third you must start the down swing with the legs keeping the hands behind the body as long as possible aiming to swing out toward the right on the way through. If you imagine a clock face, an ‘over the top’ move is similar to swinging toward 10 o’clock. The solution once the legs have been activated is to then practice swinging toward 2 o’clock. davidwatersgolf.com - 0fficial Website http://www.emeraldlakesgolf.net.au//123-david-waters-pga-g

10.01.2022 Spots now available for the next Ladies and 4 Week Challenge Programs!! Also an article regarding 'How to Avoid Hitting the Cricket Shot in Golf' The Ladies Pr...ogram commences on the 15th of November and the 4 Week Challenge on the 18th of November. Both programs are open to players of all skill levels. There are two options for the program: Option 1: 4 Weeks plus Course Lesson $265 Option 2: 4 Weeks Only $199 If you would like to register please contact myself on M:0423524673 or email:[email protected] 'How to Avoid Hitting the Cricket Shot in Golf' One of the biggest problem areas when teaching beginners is understanding the concept that all golfers must finish with their weight on the front foot. Anybody who hasn’t been taught will always have a tendency to keep their weight on the back foot. This is because it seems logical that in order to get the ball up in the air, we must keep the weight back and scoop under the ball. One of the first aspects that I address when a beginner student comes to me is understanding the concept of hitting down on the ball as well moving the weight onto the front foot. If you are unsure whether you are transferring your weight onto the front foot then take note of what kind of shots you are hitting. If a person keeps their weight on the back foot, then the most common shots will be a ‘heavy’ shot (taking too much grass behind the ball), a ‘thin’ shot (impacting the middle of the ball causing a low shot without spin) and a ‘hook’ shot as when the weight stays back, the hands will tend to flip to the left. The way in which I get the student to feel the weight moving onto the front foot is by implementing the ‘step’ drill. This where I will tell the student to start with their feet together and make a backswing. Next I will tell them to take a side step forward with their left (right if a left hander) while keeping their upper half and head in the same position. After they have taken the step with the upper half remaining in the same position, they can then turn the whole body through and finish with their weight on the front foot. A good indicator that their weight has transferred through properly, is they should be able to lift their right foot without losing balance. If you apply this drill, you will transfer your weight onto the front foot and hit crisper, straighter shots!!

The Ladies Program comm...ences this Sunday the 15th of November and the 4 Week Challenge on the 18th of November. Both programs are open to players of all skill levels.

The muscle movements in the downswing are the exact opposite to the backswing. The biggest mistake I see is that people start the downswing with their upper half. The biggest reason for this is that quite simply the club is attached to the arms therefore it is natural without prior knowledge to try and hit the ball by starting the downswing with the upper half. The correct way to start the downswing is to move the left hip first before the upper half. This ensures that the club approaches the ball on a flatter swing plane thus producing shots that are cleaner with more distance. As mentioned the left hip will go first before the upper half through a combination of lateral movement and turn. This ensures that the body continues to move through the ball whilst squaring up the club face through turning. It is also important to note that on the way down, the arms should stay fairly close to the body with the wrists remaining hinged until the moment of impact. Key indicators of a downswing that leads with the upper half are large divots, slice shots and pull shots. This is mainly because the club is approaching on a steep angle causing an outside-in swing path. This basically means hitting toward ten o'clock on the way through instead of 12 (which is neutral) or 1 o'clock (which promotes a draw). The opposite can happen also with the legs pushing too far forward early on the downswing. This causes the upper half to be stuck behind the ball which means also hitting behind the ball. It may also cause hook shots to the left or block shots to the right. Ensure on the way down as mentioned earlier that the left hip does go first, followed closely by the upper half. If you can achieve this, you will produce a swing that is physically easier, more powerful and consistent.
