⛳️ Golf Tip of the Month with Head Golf Professional, Bill Chapman, at River Hall Country Club located in Alva, FL. 𝗚𝗢𝗟𝗙 𝗧𝗜𝗣: 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐓 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐎𝐋𝐅 𝐒𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐆 What is the correct impact, and how do we get there? Impact is what we call the moment that your club face comes in contact with the ball. Obviously, what you do leading up to impact can and will influence how you align at the moment of contact, but I've seen some crazy moves and then some manipulations to make up for them on the way to the ball. 🔹The Situation: When I'm giving lessons, I often see that most golfers have no idea what the correct impact position is or feels like. Mostly, I see hands behind the ball at impact instead of ahead, which causes weak hits, hitting behind the ball, or hitting the ball very thin. 🔹The Solution: Try the impact pre-set drill. Simply set up to the ball with a normal address position, and then, forward press your hands so the shaft leans forward, open your hips to the target, and lift your right heel off the ground. Make sure to keep your head behind the ball. Then start your golf swing from this impact position. Be sure to plant your rear heel on the way up to make a normal backswing and then turn your body back into the proper impact alignments as fast as you can. 🔹The Benefits: To get your club face squarely on the back of the ball. Having the proper weight shift and body alignment will bring your hands to the ball before the club head with a forward-leaning shaft. This will result in a de-lofted club face and pressure going down on the golf ball, adding an increase in distance, spin, and control.

⛳️ Golf Tip of the Month with Director of Golf, Jim Feipel at Panther Run Golf Club located in Ave Maria, FL. 𝗚𝗢𝗟𝗙 𝗧𝗜𝗣: 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘 𝗕𝗨𝗡𝗞𝗘𝗥 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗧𝗦 Many times I see players miss the green on their approach shot, only to end up in a bunker. The player often enters the bunker with the intent of being aggressive and attacking. Unfortunately, this shot often ends up either bladed over the green, or too much sand has been taken and the ball gets left in the bunker only to try again. Here are a few simple tips to get into a proper set up and execute a smooth flowing swing to allow for an easy exit out of the bunker. ▪️ We start by taking a wide stance for lower body stability and dig our feet evenly about an inch into the sand. This will help ensure that we make contact with the sand, which is vital for this shot. ▪️ Our feet should be slightly open to the target and the clubface should be slightly open to allow the bounce of the club to glide through the sand. ▪️ Place the ball position slightly forward of middle so we give that lofted club a chance to slide underneath the ball and scooping the sand to exit the bunker. ▪️ Hand position should be even with the club head. No forward lean of the shaft for this shot. ▪️ Lean into your front foot so that we promote a down descending blow into the sand. ▪️ As we swing, let's rotate the chest away from the golf ball and hinge the wrists up to set the club in the backswing. ▪️ As we work our way down to the ball, maintain more body weight on the front leg, strike the sand 2 inches behind the ball, and complete the swing with a good high finish. Keep in mind that the greenside bunker swing is long and flowing. When we swing aggressively, we tend to want to shift weight to our rear foot causing the player to release the clubhead to soon and making contact several inches behind the ball where it has no chance to make its way out the bunker. Releasing the clubhead to soon can also leave us in a position of wanting to create lift on the ball which then causes us to hit ball first with no sand and we blade the ball out and usually over the green.
