PGA Pro’s analysis

With Joe over the last few months, we were trying to make sure the pre-swing principles we worked on initially remained in place. Then we tried to embed some swing feels in terms of rotation and a consistent movement pattern. Joe’s basics have improved considerably. When he gets it right, his best shots are really impressive. There’s still some way to go in terms of consistency, but this will come with practice. With Joe and all beginners, I would say having a clouded mind is holding him back. It’s causing him to stall over the ball, when actually thinking about it away from the golf ball is more beneficial. Then it’s a case of keeping the flow of movement as you step in to the shot, focus on your target and start the swing instinctively.
