Tim Cooke - ‏@TimCookeGolf - May 21: Thanks to everyone who made another year @GOLFPREP Academy a success. Players, parents and coaches working together = results. #letsgo

 

Ed Oldham - ‏@edoldhamgolf - May 21: It isn't how much you practice but how you practice. Establish a goal for every practice session and focus on the goal. #golf tip

 

Jim Williams - ‏@GolfintheNow - May 22: Great drill for square club face. Set club against edge of board then slide forward so face is square to start line!

 

Tyrus York - ‏@tyrusyork - May 24: I told my wife I was going to start writing a book this year. Now I just need to figure out what my book will be about. Any ideas?

 

Karen Palacios-Jansen - ‏@KPJGolf - May 25: My new favorite golfer is Kahoki Idoki.

 

Ed Oldham - ‏@edoldhamgolf - May 25: For a high, soft lob, move the ball forward to increase the effective loft. Keep tension low and allow the club to pass the hands. #golf tip

 

Karen Palacios-Jansen - ‏@KPJGolf - May 26: Kahoki Idoki is okey-doke.

 

Kandi Comer - ‏@kandicomergolf - May 27: Happy Memorial Day. Thank you to all who serve or have served to give us the freedom we have.

 

Dan Carraher - ‏@dancarrahergolf - May 27: Congrats to student Travis Trace for winning the FJT Major at Innisbrook shooting 71-73-67 to be the only player to finish under par.

 

Justin Bruton - ‏@uGotJB - May 27: A little bit of a generalization but poor transition tempo=poor weight shift=poor posture thru impact=poor swing plane=poor contact.

How you can stop hitting behind the golf ball

By SwingFix.com staff

If you watch any great iron player hit balls, you will notice that they strike the ball first and then the ground.

Many average players, on the other hand, tend to hit behind the ball, which makes solid contact virtually impossible to achieve.

In this video segment, SwingFix instructor Matt Reagan is going to explain why you might be hitting behind the ball and give you a great drill that you can use to eliminate that problem and improve your ball-striking.

Take an online lesson with Matt Reagan.

Instructor Tweets of the Week: May 12-19

By SwingFix.com staff

If you’re thinking about taking a SwingFix lesson, there’s a good chance that you’re interested in getting to know more about the various instructors you’re considering.

Many SwingFix instructors are quite active on Twitter, and they even interact with each other at times.

So in an effort to further introduce our audience to our teaching professionals, we'll scour the Twittersphere each week for the best instructor Tweets of the Week.

And, of course, feel free to follow these instructors yourself.

Mike Fay - ‏@mikefaygolf 12 May: The world's best are ready to help you with your golf game. We call it Ask The Pro and it starts now on Twitter. #askthepro

Jamie DeKeuster - ‏@JDeKeuster111 12 May: When it's a tight match, what do you think about to keep you from being nervous? #askthepro Focus on target & stick to routine

Jason Sutton - ‏@golfgurutv 12 May: @mikefaygolf start with half of the ball above the driver. Check impact location frequently and adjust accordingly #askthepro

Bill Schmedes III - ‏@BS3Golf 12 May: If I was Sergio I'd stick to the European tour. The fans in the states are horrible to him. Wouldn't be worth the headache for me. #players

Ed Oldham - ‏@edoldhamgolf 14 May: Pool players plan their shots ahead. Good golfers do too. Figure out where you want to play your next shot from and play to there. #golf tip

Ed Oldham - ‏@edoldhamgolf  17 May: Match your waggle to your swing. Your waggle can be a rehearsal of the first part of your backswing. It also reduces tension. #golf tip

Brandon Roby - ‏@brobypga 17 May: My job is great when I can teach an 85 year old player to hit it far like he used to:) #growingthegameofgolf

Ed Oldham - ‏@edoldhamgolf 19 May: In a bunker, for a good lie, open the face. If the ball is sitting down, square the face and if it is buried, close the face. #golf tip
