DREW'S TIP OF THE MONTH

The World Golf Hall of Fame Member Mickey Wright, considered by many including Ben Hogan to have the greatest swing of all time, said, “You can’t take a car from a dead start and put it immediately up to 70mph. No matter how powerful your engine, you must have a gradual acceleration of speed. So, it is in a golf swing.”

All quick and jerky motions are improper execution. The golf swing is ever faster, never fastest or as golfing great Sam Snead often said, “You will hit it further more frequently when you don’t try to hit it far.”

Keep Swinging!
