Golf is hard enough without making it harder on yourself.

One bad shot and you’re changing your swing. One new tip and you’re changing the plan. Then you judge the whole round against the best golf you’ve ever played.

Sound familiar?

These are eight things we see golfers get caught up in at TDA. Understanding them can save you a lot of frustration, and help you spend your practice time on what actually matters for you.

Recognise yourself in a few of these? You’re not alone.

Follow @tda_golf for clear explanations and practical drills you can take to the range.

Are you swaying in your backswing? 🏌️‍♂️

Your ability to rotate into your trail hip can play an important role in how you load and move during the backswing.

Limited hip mobility or difficulty coordinating the movement may contribute to excessive lateral sway making it harder to consistently return to the ball at impact.

The key? Identify why you’re swaying before trying to fix it.

Better swings starts with understanding the movements that drive them. 👍

It’s not always a swing problem.

In this example, if your trail elbow keeps getting out behind you at the top, limited shoulder mobility could be part of the reason.

Max shows a simple stretch that can help improve the mobility needed to get the trail arm into a better position.

Part 2 coming: stretching isn’t enough.

Simple drill to help you get off the back foot…literally!

Can you overdo this? Absolutely.

Too much lateral movement can turn into a slide…but if you’re someone who constantly hangs back, this is a great way to start feeling what getting into the lead side actually feels like.

Learn that feeling first. Then add the ball. ⛳️

Early extension isn’t always just a matter of trying harder to “stay in posture.”

If you struggle to rotate into your lead hip, your body may find another way to create room. For some golfers, that means the pelvis moves toward the golf ball and the body starts to stand up.

This is a good example of why the swing fault you see isn’t always the root cause.

If golf had days of the week, bunker shots would definitely be a Monday.

Keeping it simple and sticking to a couple of key points can be the difference between setting up a beach umbrella and getting back to regular scheduled programming. 🏖️

Key Points:

1️⃣ - Intention. Picture the ball on a dollar bill for where to make contact with the sand and where the club should leave the sand.

2️⃣ - Speed. Bunker shots need enough speed for the sand to help carry the ball out of the bunker.

3️⃣ - Bounce. opening the club about 30 to 40° exposes the bounce (bottom of the club) to the sand which prevents the leading edge from digging in. This makes it easier to execute the other two points.

Save this for the next time you’re feeling stuck in the bunker!

Simple drills > complicated thoughts, especially when it comes to the dreaded shanks.

Using an alignment stick or a club as a constraint to avoid on the downswing can help clean up the path without overthinking things.

Keep things simple ✅

Work from the ground up and keep it simple to improve clubface control and hit it straighter 🚀

On the downswing, think this sequence:

1️⃣ Hips move toward the target
2️⃣ Trunk follows the hips
3️⃣ Arms follow the trunk
4️⃣ Club follows and releases

Good sequencing helps the face arrive more consistently at impact.
