Women’s Golf Newsletters

Lessons from Trillium Rose on club selection from the rough, Cathy Kim has a drill to help you stop casting in your downswing, Kellie Stenzel on mastering soft landing bunker shots, Megan Johnston cures the ‘flying elbow’ and, last but not least, Erika Larkin shows how to decide which of your wedges suits different situations around the green.

Ahh the irony … two of the lessons in this update are about swing thoughts and overthinking and here’s me bombarding you with new lessons and drills every week!
In my defence it’s not just lessons though, we’ve had a fun 7 days in the member community group so I’ve included three of the best posts. Fancy meeting up with another Women’s Golf member in person at the Open Championship at St Andrews!

This week’s lessons will help you with deep bunkers (Trillium Rose), hinging your wrist correctly (Christina Ricci), avoiding early extension in your swing (Michele Low), and should you take the break out of sloping short putts or let the ball die into the hole? Maria Palozola explains all.

As well as the usual USGA rules question and answer, lessons in this email are Maria Palozola on how to get rid of the tension in your putting, Christina Ricci on making the best backswing, Aimee Cho will help you stop hitting those frustrating ‘fat’ chip shots, and Gianna Augustine demonstrates a great practice drill to eliminate 3-putts.

This week I’m featuring lessons on the best driver setup, how the lie of your club changes your shots, and the under the bridge posture and putter speed control drills. The very popular Lesson Request Post is now open for members. Just let me know about the part of your game you would love to improve and I’ll post the perfect video tip for you from the WomensGolf.com teachers.

Alison Curdt’s lesson on pitching over bunkers, Christina Ricci has great tips for controlling distance from the sand and Erika Larkin shows how to play shots from fairway bunkers. In non sand related lessons, Natalie Adams has a drill to get your feet moving through impact and Cathy Kim’s chair drill will help you strike the ball more solidly.

This week Christina Ricci shows you how to squat and extend for more distance, Meredith Kirk demonstrates the hinge and hold pitching drill, Maria Palozola will help you get deadly accurate with your target alignment, and Aimee Cho’s lesson focuses on getting more power from your hip turn.

Christina Ricci shows how to set up with your driver for great ball flight (and more distance!), the ProGolfGals tackle bad lies in bunkers, Michele Low helps you take the tension out of your swing and Megan Johnston has a practice drill to discover your putting speed. It’s also my pleasure to add a member of the month feature introducing Sarah Karls from Wisconsin.

A good mix of lessons on the golf swing and golf strategy for you in this update. Meredith Kirk shows how to hit pure iron shots, find out how to hit low punch shots under trees with Maria Palazola, and Megan Johnston answers questions about how to practice effectively. Should you tee up the ball on a par 3? Sue Shapcott has the answer.

This week we tackle a very common question in the lesson group – ‘How do I line up to the target?’ with a great tip from Christina Ricci. We also have putting lessons from Anne Rollo and Gianna Augustine, Kristin Walla plays a ball that’s buried in the sand, and Megan Johnston shows you how to stay balanced with your drives.

You’ll find some great tips to help your game as well as my member profile of golf and travel lover Ann Webber who plays on sand greens in Wagga, Australia.

Ever found yourself in a fix during your round – Yes! If your swing gets out of whack mid round try Trillium’s quick drill to restore your balance. This week we also have a putting drill from Megan, how to play the ‘baby chip’ from Kellie, Anne and Dennise share their best bunker tip, and Greta Anderson explains how to score in golf for all the newer golfers.
