My Finish Key

From day one I've told myself to "swing hard and finish in balance." I think that's good advice for you, too. When I play in pro-ams, I often lend it to the golfers in my group, and it almost immediately pays dividends. Weekend players tend to get caught up in face positions and swing plane. But if you focus more on staying in balance, you'll hit more good shots than bad. Try to hold your finish after every shot. Hold it until the ball lands on the ground. If you can't, then you're swinging too hard. Dial it back until you can copy my finish position and use that speed on every swing — even with your driver off the tee.
