To encourage the pupil to gain the correct feel for the first move away of the club into the backswing.Encourage the pupil to place a golf tee or second ball opposite the foot furthest from the target, just inside of the ball to target line (1). The player should be able to brush this object away by keeping the club head generally close to the ground in the first stages of the backswing (2).

Tips

Clip the Tee/s

To encourage the pupil use their hand eye coordination to create the correct depth perception and confidence for good ball striking.Encourage the pupil to swing clipping a golf tee out of the ground during the forward swing (1).

Debbie Cross Australia

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
