Thanks again Georgia, i have taken such a lot from this video, I recently had a new driver (fitted) and these videos have been essential viewing for me. I had to smile when you did the demo at the end, ball straight down the middle of what looked like a narrow fairway. Brilliant.
Hi Geogia, another great explanation. The driver is one club I can't hit. I tend to use the 3 wood instead. I'll give these few tips a go. Cheers from Aus. 😀👍👍
Good video. With my transition, at the top of my backswing I initiate a slight shift of weight from the inside of my trail foot to my lead side. Combined with a “feel” that my lead (left) hip is rotating around/back/up similar to where my trail (right) hip was - I don’t think about the trail hip at all, I just let it flow. If you place an alignment stick at approximately 45 degrees from the tee/ball it provides a good guide to gauge if your swing is on the correct in-to-out path. When I took up golf, for the first 12 months I had a lot of problems with a slice (all clubs) and it had nothing to do with swing path. I thought I had a text book perfect neutral grip, it looked like I did, but didn’t. I had both my thumbs running down the centre of the grip/shaft. No one told me, and very few teach this, but unless your left thumb falls to the right side of the centre of the grip, and the right thumb falls to the left side of the centre of the grip when you grip the club with a neutral grip, your club face can involuntarily open when you strike the ball. Try this - take a neutral grip of the club (thumbs aligned down the centre of the grip. Extend your arms naturally straight out in front, then extend them a little further (which simulates extension on ball strike) and the club face will open, significantly. Do the same exercise again with the thumbs left to right etc on the grip and the club face will not move - ever
This is the first time I've seen any of your lessons. This was the great one, thanks! I can't wait to use it tomorrow on the course. PS. I love your accent too and the phrase "straight away", but, what's a pooter? 😉
I’m a leftie with a terrible slice off the tee, I’ve tried so many fixes that I’ve lost count of them and none seem to work consistently. So I’ll give this a go tomorrow and see how it goes. 🤞🤞
@@georgiaballgolferResults from todays round, 11 drives on fairway or first cut (unbelievable) 2 sliced badly but playable from other fairway ( my fault for opening the club face on backswing) and 1 drive into the rough ( found and playable) I’ll take that every day😊. Now, any tips for long putting distance control ? Thank you 👏👏👏
In golf, the body always tries to restore equilibrium. Make backswing too steep, downswing will be too flat and vice versa. Lean too far back in backswing, body will go too forward during downswing and vice versa. Stand too near/low in backswing, body will stand up during downswing and vice versa. Same goes for every movement.
Great advice Georgia, have already been trying all this with great improvement. The only thing I would add is tempo, maybe you could do a video on this, I am swinging slower and its going straighter, and longer🏌🏻
This is superb advice .Explained perfectly and easily from one of TH-cams best golf instructors in my opinion..
Brilliant as ever Georgia.👌🏻⛳️👏🏻
Amazing thank you so much! ⛳️⛳️

Thanks for this lesson, especially the grip 😊
Glad it was helpful! ⛳️😊

Great video!! If you’re ever in the US again- lets play! Haha you’d be so fun to play a match against! ✌🏼
Thanks so much Brooke! Appreciate that 😊
Inconsistent driving is a problem,will try put your tips into practice this week 👍
Have fun! Thanks for watching 😊

My backswing is ok its trying hinge my hips on the downswing is where i struggle
Hopefully this video will help 😊⛳️
That hole looks quite narrow. I hit the ball straight off the tee but would still be nervous looking up that fairway.
Thanks for watching Jim ⛳️ really appreciate it 😊
I got my driver an inch shorter and I’m hitting the ball more consistently and only lost 6 yards.
Nice! Thanks for sharing 😊⛳️
