The Dominican Republic continues to reflect an old-world charm. Siesta is still observed and all businesses close between the hours of 1 and 3 PM. You will find the capital, Santa Domingo, a treasure trove of ancient cathedrals, palaces, forts, museums, and restored mansions.

It has a population of over 6,000,000 people and a land area of 9,100 square miles. The language is Spanish, the time zone is atlantic and the currency is the peso. A US driver's license is valid; driving is on the right. Upon entry, visitors must show a passport.

The Dominican Republic charges entrance and departure taxes of $10 per person. They will accept nothing but US funds for these fees, so be sure to save enough to pay the exit fee. Also, when you attempt to change your pesos back into dollars, you will find they refund only up to 30% of the total you changed from US dollars.

Tension-Free Swing

Allow yourself the opportunity to make great shots by creating a tension free swing

Self-Assessment Before High Pitch Shots

Make a long, lazy, slow-paced swing to create a high trajectory. This gets the ball up high so that it lands softly and does not roll. It is a risky shot, so only play it once you have practiced it sufficiently.

Maximum Spin Bunker Shots

Take the club back on a steeper plane and fold your left arm in as you swing

Cure For Low Shots: Weight Shift

Use this shadow drill to get your weight behind the ball and hit higher shots

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

Use these checkpoints in your swing to test if you’re in the correct positions and transferring your weight properly

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
