Hey guys, I'm kinda new at this and this is my first post. I started playing 3 months ago after getting extensive amounts of lessons and sticking with them. I still am having a little trouble with the transition of the hips and the legs and making the transition to the downswing. Anyone have any good tips or drills I could possibly work on, it would be fantastic
Also any drills on holding my lag longer would help as well.

The first move to your down swing should be your legs moving forward. A drill is to put a shoe box inside your back foot and it will fall striaght forward if your swinging correctly.

If you play right handed try swinging with your left arm only in a continuous motion. Not stopping at the setup position. Start small going back. Once you've felt you are at the end, twist your left hip, you'll feel your arms get pulled through hard. The swing yoru left arm back, you'll be able to get a bigger arch the next time through. Get to the top of your now larger back swing, feel the end of it, once you're there, twist that left hip hard again and feel the arm dragged through. Repeat 10 times. Hope that makes some sort of sense?

Two birds, one stone. I think this will help with both moves you're looking for.

      Our Men's Business League Starts Tonight With an Interesting Local Rule.

      By snapfade ·

      This is the first time I have played in this league but here is an interesting local rule they use. You are allowed to move your ball one score card length in either direction to improve your lie. Scorecard has to be in the folded position though. I love beachside golf. The other rule is you got to walk unless you have a handicap placard.

      LIV Golf (Saudi PIF), "Mergers," and More

      By snapfade ·

      PGAT is all about Scottie right now and rightfully so. The PGAT has it's star right now and some potential good guys hoping Scottie takes some time off.  The LIV guys are of the radar until the PGA. There will be the Rory/ Hovland rumors to keep the fire smoldering until then.  You will probably get your wish as time moves on. What I like most about LIV is they are funded by a regime that has numerous human rights violations and the players don't seem to care. The fans certainly don't seem to mind. I admit, I went to LIV Miami to check it out, it wasn't empty.  I didn't see anyone protesting.

      Hmmm, seems odd. I have ordered several things from them and have never had an issue, so I'm confident it will be resolved. I'm sending the watch back, I don't care for it, Ill just use the H4. There's nothing technically wrong with it, I just don't like it.
