Revolutionise your golf swing

PGA Advanced Professional Steve Johnston shares some top tips on how to transform your golf swing in just a few minutes.

In this very individual game, we all have different ways of getting a club to make connection with a stationary ball. The venerable golf writer Peter Dobereiner once likened Eamonn Darcy’s swing, for instance, to that of a man ‘picking a five-pound note from a grate with tongs.’

In this tutorial, PGA Professional Steve Johnston comes to the rescue of a client who has an extremely steep swing which severely impacts the quality of his strike. For recreational golfers, it is a common ailment. The fix, however, is simple.
