BEST OF 2019: Top 5 Instructional Drills

5. Make more putts by sharpening up your green reading

If you struggled on the greens in 2019 due to misreading your line, this is the drill for you. There are many different techniques out there to help sharpen up your skills on the green and VP of Instruction, Nick Clearwater is sharing a couple of these in our 5th Top Instructional Drill of 2019.

4. 3 keys to create a good golf swing

From the professional tours to your local muni league, every golf swing out there is unique. However, there are more common elements between them than you’d think.

3. Hit your driver like Rickie Fowler with this simple drill

We know the pros are good and they can hit the ball a long way. So, if we average Joes want to get on the “hitting bombs” train, what do we need to do? Take some tips from their swings, of course. In the 3rd Top Instructional Drill of 2019, we’re looking at Rickie Fowler’s swing to help hit longer and straighter drives off of the tee.
