Eyes Closed

Problem

You want to develop a smoother swing.

Cure

Plenty of players over think their shots or fixate on staring at the ball too much. A little head movement is necessary while playing. Try hitting the ball with your eyes closed to encourage thinking only about a natural swinging rhythm.

Therapy

Hit two balls with your driver as usual. Set up the same way then close your eyes before swinging the club. Concentrate on taking an easy swing with a good rhythm. You might find it useful to repeat to yourself 123 top as you swing back then 123 down as you swing forward to impact. You are likely to miss if you only focus on trying to hit the ball. The key to this drill is to make a smooth swing back and forth then you should hit the ball with ease.
