Cart drill

Hone your swing without leaving your cart

Try this driving drill for dogleg holes while you're waiting on the tee

By Top 100 Teacher Dan Pasquariello

• Sit on the driver's side of the cart with your feet 18 inches apart and tilt forward from your hip sockets.

• Take a light hold on the steering wheel with your golf grip (that is, in your fingers). Your left palm should face downward and your right palm toward the sky.

• Close your eyes and turn the wheel to the right while sensing the motion of the turn. Imagine a dogleg to the right and keep turning until you can't go any farther, then hold it. Playing a shot on a dogleg right should be a similar "hit and hold" motion. When you play the actual shot and reproduce this holding motion (never releasing the club with your wrists and forearms), you'll get a clockwise-type spin, which will curve the ball to the right. Reverse the motions in this drill for a dogleg left.
