In this episode, I describe my philosophy on what the best ball strikers in the world do during the down-stroke of their golf swings.

Here are the three main points that I discuss:

1. You must shallow the golf club early in transition

2. You must keep the club-face square or slightly closed

I explain that the grip is important and here is a video to watch on that https://youtu.be/ZcIl_T4lrKo

3. Your body must rotate through the shot (not stall and then get active hands)

Phil is arguably one of the greatest golfers of all time.

His approach has always been unique and is interesting for me to try and learn from. In today's episode I point out some of the brilliant things Phil does to be successful.

1. He's a creative player

2. He's fearless and positive. He's never been afraid to fail.

3. He's willing to adapt and be flexible in his approach- he's tried many different things to get an edge.

1. Build a solid routine. Here are the important aspects of my routine that have worked well for me-

A. Take in all information and assess the shot (distance, wind, trouble, pin location, etc.)

How good do you feel today? A,B, or C game?

Assess all options before making your game plan

B. Make a game plan (what do I want to do with this shot)

C. Make a rehearsal swing

D. Execute

2. In practice play a 3 ball scramble to see what strategy works best for you on different holes.

3. Have a game plan before going out to play- what clubs are you going to hit off the tees? This helps us feel prepared and confident that we have something to fall back on.
