Video Golf Tip | Balance Drill

By Margaret Platt-Klaus

Hi, I am Margaret Platt-Klaus and I work at the Jim McLean Golf School in sunny Miami, Florida. What I am going to talk to you about right now is something for beginners. Put tees in the ground lined up where you would position the ball and then each successive one further away from your body. Then stand up to the tees with your feet together. This drill is going to allow you to maintain your balance a little better and make you feel like you are swinging your arms and hands a little more in balance. Keep your feet together, make a full swing and hit the tees, while maintaining your balance. If you do this enough, you will be a very balanced player and better player later on. Good luck.

Margaret Platt-Klaus teaches at the Jim McLean Golf School at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Miami.
