Golf News
Congratulations to Luke Donald for his win in the Transitions Championship. As a result of his win, Donald regains the world’s number 1 spot, and is now taking a 2 week break to freshen up before the US Masters. Meanwhile, significant changes to the structure of the US PGA Tour qualifying system, as well as a new start to their season, were announced this week. The changes mean all 50 new PGA Tour cards will be awarded through the Nationwide Tour, with the annual tour school tournament being held solely for entry onto the Nationwide tour. The changes will come into effect in October 2013. During the debate stage of the proposed US PGA Tour changes, there were concerns raised in Australia about how the proposed changes will affect our tour, given that the Australasian PGA Tour events commence towards the end of the calendar year. Let’s hope the changes don’t make it difficult for Australian PGA Tour promoters and players.
This weeks Golf Tip:
This week’s golf tip comes from PGA Pro Paul Hart:
Sometimes it’s difficult trying to decide what to work on in the swing first. With so many moving parts, if we change one thing, like the takeaway for example, this could change other things about our swing.
Paul says ‘the first thing to check, like any machine, is to make sure it runs smoothly. You have to be able to start, change, and stop the movement with good control. Next is to make sure the power control is good so as ball control is possible’.
As Paul says ‘What moves the swing is the pivot of the shoulders. Left shoulder out – left shoulder in. If the pivot is done with good balance and rhythm you have a sound basis to examine the other machinery; the bits that cause the power and accuracy – consistently. If you’re hitting bad shots, it likely it’s caused by a faulty pivot’
Paul is available for coaching in Sydney & Orange, and can be contacted on 0412 070 820.
