Swing Drills
This page will be invaluable to you, the student. It is your 'toolbox'. Practice makes PERMANENT, not PERFECT. Swing drills will alleviate your golf swing of bad habits, mind free. Repeat the drills constantly on the driving range. Do not get concerned with bad shots or good shots during drill work. It is absolutely inconsequential. The only purpose of the drills work is to teach your golf swing new muscle memory and 'bleed out' the improper muscle memory. This is accomplished only by repetition.
