Hitting fat golf shots? The problem might be starting in your backswing.

If you sway too far away from the ball going back, it becomes much harder to control where the club reaches the ground on the way down.

That can mean:

• Heavy strikes
• Inconsistent contact
• Lost distance
• Extra compensations through impact

The answer isn’t to keep your body completely still.

It’s learning to turn without drifting excessively away from the ball, giving you a much better chance of controlling your low point and striking the ball cleanly.

In my latest YouTube lesson, I break down why backswing sway can lead to fat shots and what you can do to improve it.

If you’re putting the time into your golf but your scores still aren’t moving, more practice isn’t always the answer. Better direction is.

Online coaching gives you a clear process for improving your game — wherever you practise and wherever you play.

Send me your swing videos and performance information, and I’ll help you identify what is actually holding you back, what needs to change, and how to practise it effectively.

Your coaching can include:

• Personal video analysis
• 3D swing measurement
• Personalised drills and demonstrations
• Structured practice plans
• Skills testing and performance benchmarks
• Regular feedback and ongoing support

The aim isn’t to make your swing look perfect.

It’s to help you understand your game, practise with purpose and turn your practice into better golf on the course.

Your golf coach. Wherever you play.

Too many golfers choose their tees based on ego instead of enjoyment.

Playing from the forward tees isn’t “cheating”, and it doesn’t mean you’re not a good golfer.

The right tees should give you a course that is challenging, enjoyable and appropriate for how far you hit the ball.

That means having the chance to:
• Hit a variety of clubs into greens
• Reach more holes in regulation
• Play the course as it was designed
• Enjoy a better overall experience

And if your distance and ability improve?

Move back.

There’s no prize for making the golf course harder than it needs to be.

Choose the tees that give you the right challenge for your game today.

Would you ever move forward a set of tees?

Pulling putts? The problem might not be your stroke.

In this fly-on-the-wall lesson, we look at what’s actually happening at impact.

It’s a good example of why I don’t like guessing at golf problems.

Measure what’s happening. Identify the cause. Then work on the right thing.

Small changes become much easier when you know exactly what you’re trying to improve.

This is also how I approach my online coaching — analysing your game, identifying the areas costing you shots and giving you a clear plan to improve them.

If you’d like your game analysed like this, online golf coaching is available now.

You can make a good swing and still hit a poor shot if you’re aiming in the wrong place.

One of the most common problems I see is golfers aiming the clubface towards the target, while their feet, hips and shoulders are pointing somewhere completely different.

The result?

You’re forced to make compensations during the swing just to get the ball back towards your target.

Try this instead:

Use an alignment stick to create a clear reference line, then build your setup around it. Check your feet, hips and shoulders and make sure you’re starting from a position that gives the swing a chance to work.

Because sometimes the problem isn’t your swing.

It’s where you were aiming in the first place.

If you’re practising regularly but your scores aren’t really moving, the problem might not be effort.

It might be that you’re working on the wrong thing.

My online coaching is built around a simple process:

Measure. Pinpoint. Build. Remeasure.

We identify what is actually costing you shots, find the skill behind it, build a clear plan to improve it, then test again to make sure the change is transferring to your golf.

No random swing tips.
No endless tinkering.
No guessing whether you’re getting better.

Your coaching can include:

• Personal video analysis
• Personalised demonstrations and drills
• 3D swing measurement from your phone
• Skills games and handicap benchmarks
• Regular video calls and ongoing support

The goal isn’t simply to make your swing look better.

It’s to help you understand your game, practise with purpose and shoot lower scores.

One golfer I’ve worked with improved by 18 shots over 18 months — but just as importantly, he understood what to work on, why he was working on it and how to measure whether it was improving.

Online coaching starts from **ÂŁ99/month**.

If you’re serious about improving and want a clear plan for your game, start with a free 15-minute call.

Before you change your swing, make sure you’re fixing the right problem.

In this driver case study, I work backwards from the golfer’s actual shot pattern — using **ball flight, TrackMan data and swing video** to identify what is really causing the miss.

Because the obvious swing fault isn’t always the priority.

Good coaching isn’t about making endless technical changes. It’s about understanding **what the ball is doing, why it’s happening and which change is most likely to improve performance.**

That’s the process I take you through here:

• Identify the pattern
• Analyse the data
• Look at the movement
• Find the priority
• Make the change
• Measure the result

If you’re constantly trying different swing tips but still seeing the same misses, the problem might not be a lack of information — it might be that you haven’t properly diagnosed the cause.

🎙️ NEW EPISODE: LOW POINT — WHERE YOUR CLUB ACTUALLY BOTTOMS OUT

Fat shots. Thin shots. Iron shots that never seem to carry as far as they should.

They might look like different problems, but very often they have the same cause:

Poor low-point control.

In the latest episode of DIVOT: The Golf Performance Podcast, I explain what low point actually is, why it has such a big influence on strike, and what you can do to improve it.

We cover:

• Where the club should bottom out with an iron
• Why fat and thin shots are often closely connected
• How pressure, ball position and body movement affect low point
• The common mistakes that move the bottom of the swing to the wrong place
• Why poor strike can rob you of distance even when your swing speed is good
• A simple 10-ball test to measure your own low-point control

If you want more consistent contact and better control of your iron shots, start by understanding where your club is hitting the ground.
