BOBBY’S BASICS:

Wide and Extend

One of the best feelings in the game of golf is a well struck fairway wood shot. Whether finding the fairway off the tee, or using it to approach into the green, this tip will help with more consistent ball striking. Many amateur players will quickly pick the club up with their arms and lose distance right from the start. The thought is to extend wide (see picture). Not only does this help with the timing of our backswing, but also helps with loading up for more power to exert into the shot. Notice where the clubhead is in relation to the golf ball. If you can gain a little more width in your backswing, you will soon see the benefits of some added distance and more consistency.

SCOTLAND TRIP

Aerification is a great time for a golf vacation! Director of Golf Scott Hunter and a group of Wexford members traveled to Scotland in June.
