My 4 Best Tips
How To Play My Dominant Shots

1. MY BEST TIP: IRON PLAY

I don't have to look far to find the key to the nice, little run I made late in the year. As the season went on, my laundry list of body and club positions to make my swing consistent got shorter and shorter. By August, I was freed up to just play and ease into my natural rhythm. I putted pretty well, too. That helps.

I can boil down every facet of my game to a couple of fine points that keep it grooved. It's a one-two punch for success that might benefit you, too.

Take my iron play: (1) I make a full shoulder turn while keeping my head from moving to my right. At the top, my shaft is parallel to the target line, and the toe is pointed down, which means the face is square. (2) I release stored power at impact: My head stays steady as my hips turn left and my arms extend.
