Weekly Golf Tip – July 26, 2020

This weeks tip is what I call the “Magic Move”, a term I borrowed from Harvey Penick. Notice how all three players in the attached photo sequences return their right elbows back to their right side at the start of their downswing, a move that ensures the arms and club will not be thrown out and over the downswing plane.

The first sequence is Moe Normon, a renowned ball striker from Canada, who is much older than the other two and whose body much less agile. Second photos are of Nick Faldo, 6’4” and not an extremely long hitter. Last is Tiger Woods at a young age, very fast hips and extremely long hitter in his day.

So regardless of your body type or club speed, practicing this move will help improve your accuracy and consistency.
