Feel this the next time you hit the driver. A lot of my students hit down on their driver and you cant do that if you want to hit it by your friends

That’s why strategy matters. The best score doesn’t always come from the perfect shot. Sometimes it’s just about managing the hole and keeping yourself in play.

Also… reading greens might be the hardest part of golf.

What costs you more strokes: bad decisions or bad putting ⬇️

Most golfers try to control the club.

Book a new student assessment at Cali golf with me and find out what's really holding your game back from playing your best.

Every golf swing comes back to the same basic move. ⛳️

The club might change. The stance might change. But the sequence stays remarkably similar.

1️⃣ Take it away and create leverage.2️⃣ Shift slightly and build pressure.3️⃣ Stand and face together.

The timing is the key. When you’re done standing, you’re done facing. Get those pieces synced and the club can fall, release, and spin around you naturally. 🏌️‍♂️

Think of it like learning a dance.

At first, it’s one, two, three. One, two, three. You deliberately learn each step and build the neural pathway.

Eventually? You turn on the music and stop counting.

That’s where we want the golf swing to get. Learn the steps first, then let yourself play. 🎶⛳️

Stretching should help you, not hurt you.

You can hurt yourself stretching

🚫 Pushing too far can stress your joints, not your muscles

⏱️ Keep static stretches around the 30-second mark

🔁 3–5 sets throughout the day is plenty It’s about helping your muscles, not overstretching your ligaments.

Smart stretching = better performance.

Keep it safe, stay consistent, and let your body thank you later.

If the club is moving all over the place, your body is going to react to it instead of controlling it.

Great players create structure early so the swing can organize itself naturally.

You can actually see the swing getting better rep by rep. ⛳️

With Connor, we’re working on finding a movement that feels smooth instead of forced.

A little tilt.Hands straight back.Set the wrists.Shift.Stand and let it go. 🏌️‍♂️

At first, there’s more coaching and more thinking. But as the movement starts clicking, I have to say less and less. That’s exactly what we want.

The takeaway gets cleaner. The club starts tracing a better circle. The tempo smooths out. And eventually, it stops feeling like a list of positions and starts feeling like a rhythm.

That’s the goal: beautiful, rhythmic, relaxed.

Find the feel. Trust it. Then let it go. ⛳️
