hey everybody Matthew cook here founder
and CEO of GTC Golf Academy and today
I'm gonna show you how to play a nine
iron on a par three and strike the ball
much more consistently and getting much
better outcome for the long-term so what
I often see is number one a strategy
issue people trying to go for the flag
all the time
fortunately this flag is bang Center in
the middle of the green like both front
to back and right to left so I'm going
to aim for the flag and then the next
thing is contact contact as an issue for
most golfers and what I see from working
with thousands of golfers given thousand
tens of thousands of golf lessons is
that contact is an issue because golfers
tend to stay back behind the ball in
order to lift the ball in the air they
think they've got to stare behind and
get underneath it when in actual fact we
actually want to shift left our sternum
or in fact I'll do that with a golf ball
right here that'll be bad a bad visual
for you so most people stay back here on
the right side try and get behind the
ball underneath the ball this way and
they tend to flick at it when what we
want is to shift the pressure from right
to left into this left side so your
sternum gets ahead of the ball so
sternums ahead of the ball like this and
then the arm and the hands is coming in
ahead leading the club head so the club
head soft and get some Waggaman at the
last minute all the power is transferred
out an impact looks more like this
handle leading forward palm sorry the
the group they usually the badge of your
golf pointing forward shaft lean
clubface the club had hitting the ball
at a negative or descending angle of
attack pressure on this left side
pelvis open and toss are starting to get
open as well that's what we're looking
to achieve so we are actually going to
try to get onto the left side and get
through the ball and all I'm going to
ask you to do it just as a simple drill
is to hit the shot and finish and hold
the finish until the ball lands on the
ground he's got to hold your balance
with the wear on the left right heel off
the ground and hold it keep the balance
until that ball lands guarantee just
that thought alone very simple not
complex very simple thought of holding
the finish holding the balance with the
weight on the left side and ball
striking is going to improve
dramatically I promise you sir very
simple exercise which you can bring out
onto the golf course I don't quite like
people getting so technical on the golf
course but with this very simple hold
you finish fill the ball ones that's
very simple oh that could be pretty good
hold the finish till the ball ends ooh
stop spinning ball all right no but I'm
a I'm like a 30-foot but probably used
the wrong club simple exercise simple
drill take that you're straight much
more solid consistent short irons
nothing that especially a nine iron into
a par three this one and you will lower
your scores for sure
