The goal on the downswing is to get the body and arms working together and for the low point of the swing to come after you strike the ball. Here are two drills to help with that.
Early headlines at The Annika LPGA event were dominated by 18-year-old Kai Trump and WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark – to the point that Nelly Korda’s return to the course for her first start in six weeks became a secondary story. It’s not often that the 27-year-old is the understudy.
Almost all amateur golfers overestimate how far they hit each club, and as a result, almost none have a really clear idea of the gap between their clubs.
