Yep, I am standing on a pool table with a tall cool one in the distance and yes, that’s an elk hanging on the wall!

Part of my lunacy as a coach is coming up with crazy images to help your game! If you are prone to "coming over the top," realize that a big key to developing more of an inside strike is visualizing what portion of the ball you are hitting. To drive the ball more right to left, imagine connecting with the "inside corner" of your ball, as if you were trying to knock the ball into the right corner pocket on a pool table! With your mind focused in the proper direction, it will be your playing partners who will be paying for that beer!

The key to great driving is to approach the ball with a "shallow" angle of attack. Most poor drivers of the golf ball, have too steep of an attack angle which is culprit behind pop-ups, slices, toe hits and all of those nasty little scratches on the top of your club! To get an idea of what it means to be steep versus shallow, think of the flight of an airplane. A plane that is crashing into the ground is traveling on too steep of an angle of descent. A plane that is landing safely is approaching the runway on a "shallow" angle, so much so that the plane will fly for a decent period of time level to the ground before touching down smoothly. To avoid a crash landing with your driver, practice making some swings just above the height of your golf ball. This may feel like making a baseball swing at a really low pitch. Once you can consistently just miss the top of the ball, bend your posture over a touch so that the clubhead smacks the back of the ball. The angle of attack for an absolutely perfect tee shot will leave your tee standing tall!
