David Armitage (Scotland) is a Master PGA Professional and one of the leading golf instructors in the game. Based in Miami, FL, he is sought out by PGA TOUR, Korn Ferry Tour and DP World Tour players for his insights and passion for player improvement. David joins "On the Mark" to share ways to improve your ball-striking, and by extension ball-compression and power, trajectory and distance control. He not only addresses the physical and golf swing elements for good ball-striking, he also addresses the mindset and discipline of doing the correct things consistently for long-term success.  David delves into: Golf Swing Sequencing (incl. Backswing Loading, Transition and Pressure Shifts), Low-Point and Angle of Attack Control, and Tempo and Rhythm.  He also shares insights learned from Tiger Woods and Butch Harmon including a drill to improve golf swing sequencing. Along those lines he shares takes from Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus on how good ball-striking occurs, and finally, David shares drills to help you eliminate Toe, Heel, Fat and Thin strikes.
