Golftec Driving Range and Lesson

After 5 months without swinging a club after breaking my wrist I was given the okay to start practice again.  So after a trip to the local range first it was then time for another lesson at Golftec.



Luke reviewed my swing and looking at the changes I had been working on pre injury appeared some small improvement in correcting the over the top swing were starting to take effect.  We worked on some changes to take away and position of club at top of back swing.



So with this in hand, it was time to test it in a round....

Golftec Driving Range and Lesson

A recent birthday gift included a package of lessons and 30 min sessions on the indoor golf simulators at Golftec in Melbourne.

So a lunch time booking made, I headed off on a Thursday to meet Phil Wright one of the pros available at Golftec.

I have known that I have had a 'loopy' swing so that I swing from out to in at impact and have therefore played with a left to right shot shape most of my life.  Despite this I have managed to play reasonably, at least with my irons, although of late my driving has been poor and I have lost all confidence with that club.

So Phil watches a few shots, films them on his iPad and then goes through with me, including a comparison to videos of Adam Scott's swing.

Next we work on some drills using a mirror behind the driving bay to get my backswing straighter and more upright than it has been.  The other main point was to try and limit the amount of leg movement I was making to get more of a 'coil' in my backswing.
