Yo, what up fellas. its been a while since i've posted but hopefully I'll get back into the groove.

I was playing out at Torrey P. a couple of weeks ago and played with a british golf journalist who mentioned this website for swing tips and drills. I found a lot of the lesson videos useful, so I wanted to pass it on to you guys and maybe it'll help some of you out...

website is---- www.swingbuildgolf.com

Enjoy.

His drills seem pretty damn good. I'm going to give them a try.

Been playing just a few months but I play almost every day.

Greeeeat. After years of learning that we have to use the big muscles to build a sound golf swing, this guy is saying that we need to use the small muscles. No wonder golf drives me nuts.

I think his point is that while you obviously need to use the 'big' muscles to swing your body properly (otherwise you are 'all arms'), you need to train the smaller muscles (forearms, wrists, hands) to create the proper rotational and hinging motions so that you can release the club properly. If you can train yourself to release like he does, it becomes natural and automatic so that you don't have to focus on it.

I agree with this. My take is that he stresses body rotation (big muscles), and the hands as being the two parts that generate the clubhead speed. What I think he objects to is lifting the shoulders, trying to use arm strength, or anything else that is a "heave-ho" trying to muscle it rather than relying on on rotation and wrist hinge.

What I like is that he stresses concepts and drills rather than telling you how to swing. I feel that this way I can incorporate as little or as much of what he's saying without completely throwing my swing off. I'm no golf expert though, and I've only watched a few of his vids.

    • In the old days, pre-2020, "playing to your handicap" meant a net score about equal to the Course Rating.  that led to problems when people played against each other from different tees, people playing tees with a lower CR would generally shoot lower scores.  Course Handicaps were adjusted for each competition to make it even, usually lowering the course handicap for the "forward tee" players. So now if you "play to your handicap", the (68.4-72) term means your score will be even par, no matter which tees you play from.  No adjustment needed for people playing from different tees.  Look at your example, the guy shoots 82 every time, his Course Handicap of 10 gives him an even par net score every time.
