Undercover Lessons

For the world’s best players, performing at their best involves many factors, but one big one that every golfer can emulate is how they warm up. In this fascinating video, you’ll see a typical warm-up session with Jordan Spieth and his swing coach, Cameron McCormick. Listen in as they go through Jordan’s bag, from little touch shots all the way up to the driver. It’ll change the way you think about pre-round prep.

Cameron McCormick is the director of instruction at Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas, but you likely know him as the longtime swing coach to Jordan Spieth, one of the most accomplished young players in the game and a three-time major champion. Here, McCormick shares the methods he has developed to help all his students elevate their games.

Now that you’ve gotten your warm-up off to a good start and developed some feel, it’s time to build confidence on your longer shots. That comes from controlling the ball’s starting direction and its curve. Cameron McCormick explains how to troubleshoot your swing in two areas: the angle of the clubface at impact and the direction of the swing path.

You’ve worked on touch control with your wedges and reined in your ball flight, and now you’ve got only a few minutes before heading to the tee. It’s time to hit a few drivers and to start thinking about the shots you’ll need to begin your round. In this video, Cameron McCormick shows you how to prep with the driver and get ready to tee off.
