Managing Tension on the Golf Course

Posted on by GLA

Dear GLA Family,

Are your golf shots short and shrimpy?

We’ve got a great play for you.

Here’s a spoiler: it’s probably not your golf swing!

Watch this video and gain control over your tension levels.

Managing tension will help you:

  • Grip the club to use it most effectively.
  • Swing the club to One Motion and not many pieces. 
  • Eliminate hitting and guiding.
  • Improve directional control and center face contact. 

Your time on the golf course will be more enjoyable and your scores will begin to trend lower.

Sincerely,

Ben and Chad

Bomb The Driver

BOMB THE DRIVER

BOMB THE DRIVER

Is more distance on your wish list for the upcoming season?

Are you sick of lagging behind your buddies and leaving yards on the table?

Watch this video and dial in your Driver angle of attack. 

The difference between hitting up 5 degrees and down 5 degrees on a Driver can be 30 yards of carry.

You’ll learn simple plays to swing up with your Driver. These tweaks will lead to major distance gains!

You’ll thank us later when you’re leaving your friends in the dust. 

P.S. Prior preparation prevents poor performance. Train at GLA today for success on the course tomorrow.

Pure Your Irons [Hit Better Golf Shots]

Posted on by GLA

Pure your irons: we know that ballstriking is a major separator in golf.

There aren’t many worse feelings than:

  • Hitting hosel rockets.
  • Laying the sod over top of your ball.
  • Thinning one on the bottom grove of the club.

Your game will be in a better spot if you’re flushing the ball on the center of the clubface.

If your contact is hairy and your irons are sailing all over the golf course, watch this video and start striking it solid.

Mike Sully and Kyle Bogey recently dropped by the GLA to improve their iron play.

They fixed some major issues in just one session.

You’ll gain supreme confidence that 2021 will be your best ballstriking season yet!

P.S. -45 degrees below zero is going away soon. Start training today in the winter for success in the spring and summer!

Gain More Swing Speed and Better Tempo

Posted on by GLA

Dear GLA Family,

Would you choose more speed or better tempo for your golf swing?

Watch this video as Ben and Chad show you how to gain both.

Better tempo improves your center face contact. More speed yields longer shots.

You’ll play with more comfort and confidence as you flush shot after shot on the course.

Sincerely,

Ben and Chad

P.S. Don’t put off your training program any longer! The weather will get better and the outdoor season will be here quickly.

Trajectory Control

Posted on by GLA

Trajectory control – hitting the golf ball high and low on demand – is crucial to lower golf scores. Controlling the flight of your golf ball is essential when playing golf in the wind and escaping from trouble on the golf course like the deep trees or tall grass.

There’s nothing more damaging to your score than taking a bad shot and making it worse. Big numbers are always lurking if you complicate trouble situations. 

If triple- and quadruple-bogeys show up too often on your scorecard, you need to watch this video!

Kyle Bogey from the Metro Detroit Golfers recently came to GLA and addressed trouble shots. 

You’ll learn to simplify situations in the woods or tall grass and get the ball back in play.  You’ll align your expectations with reality and discover that easy bogeys really aren’t so bad. And you’ll stop compounding mistakes with costly decisions that send your scores to the moon!

Sincerely,

Ben and Chad

P.S. Great players train in the fall and winter for success in the spring and summer.

Long Straight Drives! [More Golf Clubhead Speed]

Posted on by GLA

 

Long straight drives are the holy grail of golf!

Fed up with drives that are short and shrimpy?

Here’s an easy way to pick up more yards this season!

Watch this video and adjust your attack angle.

Finding the right angle of attack is critical to launch drives that carry further. 

You’ll experiment swinging up, down, and right into the ball — and you’ll find that one attack angle works better than the others. 

That “ah-ha” moment with your Driver is only a click (and a few swings) away!

Sincerely,
Ben and Chad
