Turn

What to remember

Turn your chest away from the target. Do not only lift your arms. A good turn gives the club room to come back to the ball.

Contact

What to remember

Try to brush the grass after the ball with irons. This helps you hit the ball before the ground.

Finish

What to remember

Hold your finish until the ball lands. If you cannot hold it, you probably swung too hard.

Keep it realistic

In Singapore heat, bring water, plan shade breaks, and keep practice goals short. A focused 30 minutes often beats a tired 90 minutes.
