Coaching Suggestions
- Demonstrate swing slowly using proper motion sequence.
- Draw lines on the ground to aid in alignment and ball position.
- Have athletes make 5 swings without the ball, then make 5 swings with the ball!
- Put the ball on a tee first.
- Consider using a tennis ball or soft ball in the beginning. This will build confidence.

- Insure there is ample room between athletes.
- Demonstrate swing and grass cutting drill.
- To swing the club, athlete must learn to use body, arms and hands in a unified manner.
- Back swing is one motion. A wind-up. Swing the club back so that your club is over your shoulder and back is facing toward target.
- Forward swing is one motion. Unwind; the club is swung from the top to the finish in the direction of the target.
- As the swing goes forward the body turns in the direction of the target.
- At the finish the club should be over the left shoulder and the athlete's weight should be on the left foot. Note: Back to the Target, Chest to the Target
