Exercise on the sofa

Hi I am Peter Millhouse from GoGolf4Life and I am going to show you a simple drill to re-educate your right arm for golf. Most people I meet are completely unaware of how their right arm acts independently of their wishes. I you want to control the ball, you must first control the club, and that means you need to know what your right hand is doing.

Best exercise I know is to train at home on the sofa!

• Just hold an iron in the fingers of the right hand near the club head
• Sit on the sofa with the club pointing towards your belt buckle
• Twist your arm to the right keeping the elbow pointing towards your belt buckle until the shaft is parallel to the edge of the sofa
• Keep the arm still but gently using the wrist lift and drop the shaft a few cms keeping it parallel to the edge.
• This is the move that starts the downswing, Simples!

The Golf Grip

	Step 1 Start by making sure you grip club deep enough in the left hand. It should run diagonally from the edge of the heart line to the middle joint of the index finger. Check your wrist is neutral and neither arched or cocked.
	Step 2 Now close heel of palm over top of grip. Grip lightly with last 3 fingers of left hand. Thumb should now be right of centre line. Thumb should be same lenght down grip as index finger.
	Step 3 Create kink in wrist so end of club points towards your belt buckle. Feel pressure from heel of left hand on top of grip by holding club horizontal to ground Check end of grip is about 2 hands width from your body.
	Step 4 Bring right hand towards grip so that middle joints of middle 2 fingers are under  the grip. Index, or trigger finger, pushed away from 2 middle fingers Little finger rests in gap or ontop of left index.
	Step 5 Roll your right hand ontop of left thumb Notice gentle pressure of top of right life line onto 2nd joint of left thumb.
	Step 6 Right thumb should now be left of centre line of grip Thumb and index same length Left wrist is kinked right wrist is flat. Perfect!
