Lesson 1

Simon Davies provides golf lesson feedback and drills to Caroline to improve her backswing. The main fault identified is that Caroline loses the angle between her spine and hips during the backswing, causing her body to straighten and her chest to point horizontally instead of down towards the ball. The drill focuses on keeping the spine in the same position at address while rotating the upper body, maintaining the angle to the ball. Simon recommends Caroline practice this rotational drill 5 minutes a day in front of a mirror and has confidence it will help produce a better backswing.

Simon Davies PGA Professional BA Hons Wentworth Club 01344 846306 [email protected] Lesson Feedback Caroline, As a beginner golfer I think you have tremendous potential so you should have a real belief in your ability to play the sport. The main positive to come out of the lesson was the level of understanding you showed in relation to your golf swing.

Faults

You begin the golf swing in an excellent position with a lovely straight back. As the backswing begins, you lose the angle between your spine and hip because the spine straightens. (This is represented by the blue arrow). At the top of the backswing, your body is straight, meaning you have lost the angle to the ball your chest now points horizontally. It should be pointed down towards the ball (This is represented by the red arrow).

Drills
In the golf swing, to cure a fault we have to do the opposite movement. Therefore we focussed on keeping the spine in the same position as at address at rotating the upper body.

Hence the spine maintains the angle to the ball (as shown in the left hand picture).

This is an essential move for you to grasp so repeat this rotational drill 5 minutes a day. It is perfect for you as I know how demanding it is for you to find time to practice. Further, perform the drill in front of a mirror to ensure you are executing the move correctly. In time, I have every faith we will produce a backswing similar to the one below.

I look forward to seeing you soon, best of luck with the practice! Many Thanks Simon Davies
