1. Basic Swing Exercise: Hold the club a few inches off the ground when making swings. Start the swing by swinging the club forward a foot, or so, then continue to a full back swing position, start your downswing by allowing your hands and arms to drop downward then continue to a completed follow thru. Notice how the swing plane is from the inside out, and the weight of the club brings you to a good finish facing the target.
2. Pump Exercise: Exactly the same as above except when you get to the top of your back swing hold it there, then, without uncocking your wrists, slowly pump downward about a foot as if starting the downswing, allow the trailing elbow to drop to the body, then return to a full back swing position. Do two pumps then continue to a completed swing. A great exercise to learn the proper downswing transition.

| Remember to always use a good set-up and posture while doing swing exercises. Maintaining a good posture while training will improve your ball striking dramatically. Also while swinging the club, maintain light, but controlled grip pressure. |

1. Club Rotations: Arms straight out in front with the club pointed straight up. Slowly rotate the club 90 degrees left then back to the right 180 degrees. Do this back and forth until your arms tire, then repeat once again after a brief rest. this is a great exercise to increase strenght in the forearm and shoulders.
2. Club Lifts: Hold the club down to the side with one hand. the head should be on the ground. With the arm kept straight, lift the club head using only the hand and wrist. Try not to bend the elbow. Do with both arms until the muscles feel fatigued. Repeat after a rest if you can.
 3. Upper Body Stretch: While sitting in an armless chair or stool, spread your feet wide apart to minimize movement in the lower body. Hold the club horizontally in front, arms extended. Swing the club left then right as far around the body as possible. Allow the elbows to fold downward in both the forward and back swings. Allow the upper body to rotate as much as possible creating stretch in the back muscles. Great exercise to develop more shoulder turn. This exercise can be done standing also, wide stance, keep lower body still.

Warm-up: Do some stretching first. Then make a few good half speed swings, including some pump exercises. Remember to use a good set-up and posture while warming up. Allow at least ten minutes between warm-up and teeing off. You will be ready to play from the first tee instead of three holes later.
