3 Steps to Improve Your Irons (For Beginners and Experts)

For all those who are getting ready to jump on some Black Friday Deals coming up at golf courses, the last thing you want to happen is shanking your irons.

This is especially true when you finally splurge on those $300 greens fee courses and you’re surrounded by people both way richer and way better at golf than you…

Not to mention when those shank shots are flying through the air a little too close to those course-side MULTI-Million Dollar Houses.

After reading this though, both those fears are going to be in the past.

Today’s tip comes from PGA Coaches Piers Ward and Andy Proudman which you can watch in full below or keep reading to break down the 3 Steps

Step #1: Keep Your Feet in The Game. One of the biggest mistakes people make is that they lose track of where their feet are pointing. And don’t read this and think I’m giving you the “most obvious tip ever”. Because, while it is the most obvious tip, it is also one of the only things that better swinging and grip can never change.

So before you drop another $100 into lessons or gear, just have someone in your group drop a club at your feet and on your swing path to ensure you’re not making any simple mistakes.

Step #2: Don’t Lose the Thumb War. When a lot of people grab their irons they’re going to have the tendency to grip it like a baseball bat. That tendency is very difficult to break unless you consciously choose to.

The next time you grab your irons then ensure that your:

✅ Lead hand is slightly opened up so you’re showing the center of your glove forward

✅ Keep your thumb just slightly over the center line

AND

❌ Do NOT shift the club in your hands mid swing. If you can’t hold the club the same through your swing then you aren’t gripping it right

Step #3: Flick the Mud Drill. This is one of the greatest drills I think I’ve ever seen to help not only the pacing of a swing but also the grip and swing path to. You can watch the 6 ½ Minute Drill Here but it basically involves flipping the golf club around so you don’t have the counterweight of the head and simply practice the movement of swinging it right to the perfect point in your backswing.

Now, it’s time for some Fairway Finds I found that are the perfect beginning of the Black Friday Deals we’ll be seeing as we get close to Thanksgiving 👀

Callaway’s Stock Drop is TopGolf’s Fault?

Before we get into this I think it’s important I write out a carefully written disclaimer on how this newsletter is not to be taken as financial advice.

So here it is…

Disclaimer: The following information is not financial advice but the writings of a golf addict who found the aforementioned story interesting. His financial education is not extensive and his jokes are not that funny. Both of which he is well aware of.

Alright with that out of the way,

I’m not sure how much you’ve been following the Callaway stock price this last week…

But in just a few days it has dropped over 20%!

Now everyone is talking about that 20% drop in the last few days but that can potentially be just fear and day traders fluctuating the price.

You see, on November 8th the Callaway Earnings Call Report reported a net income drop of 23% to $29.7 million for this quarter.

It’s not uncommon for people to read that number alone and jump ship out of fear they’ll lose the money the put in.

(Which drops the stock price even more and causes even more people to pull out)

To put this story in 60 second Synopsis or less though…

TopGolf is responsible for 43.02% of Callaway’s total revenue and is racing to become the “Amazon” of new age golf ranges.

Since 2021, they’ve built or are currently building 33 of the 88 total TopGolf venues.

It remains to be seen if this will be the winning strategy for this form of “golf simulators” as we’ve also talked a ton about the entirely VR golf simulators that have equally been rising in popularity.

Which might be the case since last week’s poll on golf simulators vs driving Ranges ended in favor of Golf Simulators 👀

Let’s see how you all feel about VR Golf Simulators vs. TopGolf this week 👇
