Last week we focused on the backswing. Now let’s look at the finish.
As we age, flexibility decreases, and with it, distance off the tee. Many players try to generate more turn in the swing but keep their feet planted. The result? Less power and poor direction.
Instead, stay light on your feet. Actively shift your weight from the back foot to the front. A good checkpoint is your back knee—try to have it point toward the target as soon as possible. If you can, let your back knee even touch your front knee at the finish.
Work on engaging your lower body, and you’ll see both distance and accuracy improve.
