3 Steps Danny Maude Recommends for “Short Hitters”

On this Newsletter we are, almost by accident…

Big fans of Danny Maude.

Now if you don’t know who he is then you obviously don’t search up as many golf tips on YouTube in your free time as I do.

Danny Maude has one of the most popular YouTube channels.

And, it’s been one of my favorite sources of tips to reduce my stroke count with consistency.

Here’s the THREE STEPS in case you don’t watch the video:

#1 Keep Your Shoulders NOT Straight. Now, while this might sound counterproductive it’s not. If you slightly dip your trails shoulder, the one away from the hole, on your your downswing then you’ll do two important things. One, you’ll prevent your swing from coming down on top of the ball. Two, you’ll get more power out of your swing.

#2 Turn INTO Your Trail Leg. What a lot of people mess up on their back swing is they simply lift the club backwards. Instead, you want to ensure your arms aren’t just going back but you’re creating that opening in your legs and hips. Taking time to get in the motion of lifting up your front heel and digging into your back heel is a great way of adding 10 PLUS yards to your driver.

#3 Whip the Towel. This one might not make a whole lot of sense but it’s one of the best techniques you could practice to ensure you’re engaging all parts of your swing. You can click here to watch him explain it but what you’re really trying to do is ensure you’re not just simply rotating through the ball with your hips but using your arms to. If you had a towel in your hands and tried swinging, for example, you want that towel to hit the place your ball would be. This only happens if you’re swinging with your hips AND using your arms as well.

PGA Event Winner Unable to Receive $1.5 Million Prize

In case you missed the American Express tournament this last weekend there was a HUGE upset

The 20-year old Sophomore at University of Alabama, Nick Dunlap took home not only the gold but played absolutely out of his mind with a 29-under par victory.

He was the first amateur player since Phil Mickelson in 1991 to win a PGA Event.

But…

Since he was an amateur player he is bound by the PGA rules that deny him from taking that $1.5 Million Prize.

He gave a 3-Minute interview you can watch below 👇

We’ll be sure to keep you up to date on the future updates with Mr. Nick Dunlap

(And up to date on if his running mates at least paid for his Spring Break trip 👀)
