I found a link to this video in my Facebook newsfeed today. I had never heard of “Scratch Golf Academy” before and thought I would give it a view. This video give some good advice on putting basics, and should help any players who struggle putting, especially those who have trouble with their distance control.
Scratch Golf Academy has lots of video lessons (91!!) on their Youtube channel.
School of Golf’s Martin Hall and Sara Brown show how you can get more power in your swing by creating a difference in angles between your shoulders and hips on the backswing, and maintaining (or increasing) that angle for as long as you can on the downswing. This is commonly referred to as the “X-factor”.
Martin really likes using the PVC tubes, and it’s a great visual.
GolfChannel’s Best Lessons Ever series had Rory McIlroy on where he talked about what his keys are for hitting the driver.
Is it any coincidence that the main key is the same as Tiger’s?
From Golf Channel’s “Best Lessons Ever” series, Tiger Woods gives advice on how to hit the ball longer and straighter.
This is similar to Martin Hall’s “Pull with the Body while Pushing with Arms” tip.
Golf Channel Academy Lead Coach Tom Rezendes teaches how throwing a dart can help you add distance off the tee.
Today was the end of the PGA Tour event at Colonial Golf Club, and since this event is considered to be hosted by golf legend Ben Hogan I figured I should find a video of his swing. What I found was even better, a lesson and a swing from the Hawk himself.
School of Golf host Martin Hall teaches how pushing and pulling can sometimes be a good thing in the swing, “pulling” with the body while “pushing” with the arms.
After watching the David Leadbetter videos on golfchannel.com, this video queued up where Michael Breed and Martin Hall share with each other the best golf swing advice they have ever received.
Both sets of advice are great, and should probably be incorporated into everyone’s games.
