How to groove your release — with your TV remote!
By Top 100 Teacher Dan Pasquariello, director of instruction for the Pebble Beach Company
• Grab your remote and turn on your TV.
• Sit on the edge of your couch facing the TV with your legs shoulder-width apart.
• Place the remote in the middle digits of your left hand with your thumb on the power button.
• Make a backswing with only your left arm.
• At the top of your backswing, pause and click the power button to turn off the TV. (You may have to cock your wrists or adjust your body aim according to the position of the TV.)
• Swing down and hit the power button again at the bottom of your swing where you sense the imaginary ball would be. This helps you feel the release. If the TV doesn't come back on, your release was too late and you just hit a slice.
• Repeat until you perfect the motion. And switch the channel from Baywatch reruns to CNN when you're finished (wink, wink).
