Orlando is the amusement capital of the world, thanks to Walt Disney World Resort. But the thrills don't stop with Disney. SeaWorld, Ripley's Believe or Not!, and a host of other theme parks and entertainments have followed Disney's path to this city of magic. Today, there is enough in Orlando to keep fun-seeking children, and parents too, entertained for a long time.

At the same time, golf has taken a permanent and strong root in Orlando with some of the best golf clubs, resorts, daily-fee courses, and golf schools that you will find in the Sunshine State. My extended trip to Orlando in April (1999) took me to two outstanding resorts, Bay Hill and Mission Inn, six of the finest daily-fee courses you'll find anywhere, and to The Faldo Golf Institute by Marriott, where my game made measurable improvement under the skilled and watchful eyes of two young and engaging pros.

After all, with such first-class destinations as Grand Cypress Resort (a chip shot from Disney's front door) and Grenelefe, site of the 1998 PGA Tour qualifying school finals, still to be visited, I hadn't even scratched the surface of what Orlando offers for golfers.

You can bet I have another Orlando trip down on my "Things To Do" list. After you taste Orlando golf, you will understand.

One-Plane Backswing

Make sure to keep your right elbow behind your body during the backswing so that the left arm can continue to cross your chest and stay on the same plane as your shoulders.

Full Swing Check Points

Vision Focus: Set Up

A common fault in the set up is having your head down and chin too close to your chest, this drill will fix that and allow you to turn effectively and use your legs correctly in the swing

Reshape Your Golf Swing

The easiest way to reshape your golf swing is by using a pole, stick it in the ground and make sure that your swing goes up and down the pole on the same path and just like that you will hit it straight
