Golf Lessons – Create a Great Downswing
Hey people, I’ve had one of those weekends. It was raining all of last week in Houston, but it broke during the weekend and I had a chance to hit some balls on the range.
Since I had my last lesson at golfTEC last week, I was working on some stuff and it really came together for me… on the range. I was crushing balls, not always straight, but consistent contact, and NO SLICE (my worst nemesis).
My buddy invited me to play at the crack of dawn on Monday and I was sure I could take my progress to the golf course. I envisioned clean strikes and slight draws. Then I got up to the first tee and reality crashed on my head! Revert to old habits. Revert to old habits. Revert to old habits.
Damn, this game got the best of me again. Watch your back, golf game, watch your back. I’m coming for you and one day, I’ll get the best of you.
(Oh, and here’s a good video I found about creating a great downswing from Barry Power.)

Crazy Guy Hit with Golf Ball
After watching this video, I looked to find out the speed of a golf ball. At an approximate clubhead speed of 109, the golf ball leaves the face of the driver at about 180 mph. Considering the size of a golf ball, that’s gotta hurt.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend!
