Band-Aids For Your Golf Swing (Lesson No. 18)

A few weeks ago I noticed, after many trips to the practice range, callouses forming on the knuckles of both forefingers. Band-Aids were applied.

I have often thought about Band-Aids when teaching golf and when working on my game.Thus, my idea of Band-Aids for your golf swing. At least once, you should try the following Band-Aid applications:

(1) Place a Band-Aid on both forefinger knuckles to remind you that those knuckles turn back or away early in the back swing.Naturally, they return in the down swing.

(2) Place a Band-Aid on your right shoulder blade to remind you that the right shoulder comes back early in the back swing.

(3) Place a Band-Aid on your forearms to remind you that they must rotate into the back swing and returning in the down swing.

(4) Place a Band-Aid on the right side of the right knee to remind you to never straighten that knee (or leg) out in the back swing.

(5) Place a Band-Aid on the left side of the left knee to remind you to forcefully straighten that leg in the down swing as your club head approaches the ball.

One swing thought? I don't think so. Always one swing thought at a time.You will need reminders if you are forgetful.
