Creating a really consistent and flawless golf swing that will work under pressure is really important for any golfer no matter what level they’re at. One of the best ways that better players do this is by using the larger muscles in their bodies rather than the smaller muscles. So as you set up on your back swing, work on really getting a good shoulder turn. So the shoulders are really going to turn well to 90 degrees, on the down swing, we are triggering the down swing with the knees. So turning the knees into the ball towards the target, then letting the hips turn and finally the shoulders and the chest turn back through.
If you’re used to using the bigger muscles at the driving range start to do that out on the course especially in pressure situations, rather than allowing those muscles to quieten down and not be used enough. One of the main issues I see with people I coach is under pressure, the shoulders won’t turn as much. So they’ll only get a part turn and that causes problems with the rest of the swing. So once again really work hard on a good shoulder turn then trigger the down swing by moving the knees and the hips in and the shoulders following into a nice balanced position. That should really help under pressure out in the golf course.
