Here's Today's Tip...Rotate Your Torso

Your torso is the engine for the golf swing.

Too many players try to generate speed and power by swinging their arms, not rotating their torso.

• Here's what to do:

Establish your spine angle/address posture and rotate your core by turning your torso away from your target. Attempt to position your left shoulder as close to being over your right leg.

As you start the downswing, pretty much do the reverse of what you did on the backswing. Rotate your torso toward your target until your right shoulder is closer to being over your left.

To practice this, set up in your normal address position and place a club across your shoulders, holding it in place with your hands. Rotate your core away from your target until the club points at the ball on the ground. Now rotate your core toward your target until the other end of the club points at the same spot on the ground. This will allow you to feel the proper rotation of your core while maintaining the same spine angle.
