​Have you ever hit a perfect drive down the middle of the fairway just to follow it up with a chunked iron shot? This is one of the least satisfying feelings you will experience in the game of golf. Instead of taking advantage of your perfect drive and having the chance to putt for birdie, you’re struggling to get up and down for par.    The good news is; this issue can be avoided with one simple drill. The purpose of this drill is to teach you how to hit the ball before you hit the ground and allow you to shift your momentum and weight properly. The simple goal is to get your weight and momentum moving forward on the downswing and allow yourself to take a divot after you hit the ball.    Check out the video at https://www.golfstrategyschool.com/stopchunking/Friend of the show Chris Finn from Par 4 Success has put together a free assessment to see how your four main rotation centers measure up to other golfers.  Visit par4success.com/griffin to get your free assessment!

As golf fans, we’ve all seen the pros hit a high flying wedge shot that lands past the pin and rolls back towards the hole like they were reeling it in with a fishing pole. It seems like magic and you can’t help but wish you could do the same out on the course. Before you can start reeling in your wedge shots, you must first understand what produces that kind of backspin and what is holding you back from seeing the results you’d like. We will break down the equipment and the technique that is needed to produce the maximum amount of backspin with your wedges.

If you know me or this podcast I’m usually pretty quick to tell someone to holster their driver in favor of a more controllable club, especially if it’s costing them penalty strokes off the tee.     I’m not against hitting driver, I’m just very guarded against taking penalty strokes. Today we are going to look at what are some key things to focus on when we actually do hit the driver well on a consistent basis.   Check out the video back on the episode pageFriend of the show Chris Finn from Par 4 Success has put together a free assessment to see how your four main rotation centers measure up to other golfers.  Visit par4success.com/griffin to get your free assessment!

Any time I see my scores start to swell, it’s usually due to a few failed instances from this distance.  I know that when I’m on my game from 40 yards I will consistently hit the middle of the club face, I will have complete control over the ball flight, and a surprising amount of spin.  Let's look at exactly how we should do it.    Also, stick around to the end for an awesome contest announcement!Friend of the show Chris Finn from Par 4 Success has put together a free assessment to see how your four main rotation centers measure up to other golfers.  Visit par4success.com/griffin to get your free assessment!
