The drills and tips the Canadian uses to keep his game sharp could improve your consistency through the bag too

STEP DRILL

I do this drill with every club in the bag to really help with sequencing. I stand with both feet together and then, as the club gets back to parallel, I step into the shot with my left foot. This gets my lower body moving before my upper body and gives me all the right feelings to make sure the sequencing in my swing is just right. It’s kind of my pre-shot routine out on the course, too, and a really useful on-the-go drill that you can do before every shot to get your swing feeling good.

I’d suggest people who want to try it start with just a 7-iron at the range, but it’s really a drill that can be used with any club in the bag to help with everything from timing to sequencing.

2 DISTANCE CONTROL

We all use a lot of technology now to gain a clearer understanding of how far our irons go. I think all golfers should take advantage of this by getting a concrete idea of how far each club carries with a stock swing.
