February 2012 Avid Golfer - Width=Length

My latest article for Avid Golfer Magazine is about the importance of how width in your backswing can lead to more distance.  However, width doesn't need to be overdone by hyper-extending your left arm.  Focusing on maintaining the width you create at address throughout the backswing is a good recipe for optimizing distance and consistency.
Below is a link to my instruction article.  Have a look.

Tony Romo Swing Analysis

Tony is a frequent site on the driving range at the Four Seasons Resort & Club/Dallas during the offseason.  He practices hard and has a very good golf swing and a game to match.  Being extremely athletic he's able to incorporate feelings very quickly into his swing once he understands the idea. 
His history is gettng the club trapped inside on his takeaway. On the downswing it gets stuck again from the inside.  As a result he'll tend to miss with a block to the right or occasionally hit a pull hook.  He's worked hard gettting his takeaway to come up  the plane line more consistently as well as getting the club to match the plane on the downswing. 
I know he'd much rather be at the Super Bowl in Indianapolis this week-end but playing in the AT&T Pro-Am next week with Tiger Woods isn't a bad consolation.  Below is a link to his swing during a recent session.
