Spring is around the corner and that means, so is the golf season! Although some of us are lucky enough to golf in fair weather conditions, many of us also had a friendly reminder that we’re not quite there yet as parts of the United States were hit with a snowstorm, including Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky, home of the 2014 PGA Championship! Despite the 2014 PGA Tour season being a few months into the season, many players are still ramping up their games for the year’s first Major Championship.
Today, Brendan Steele guest stars on the newest segment of Titleist from the Tour as he gives us a drill to work on a long bunker shot! This shot may be one of the most difficult shots to pull off and to have it in your arsenal would definitely help shave strokes in your round. According to Brendan, it’s all about rhythm with this shot and we do not want to add any speed with our arms or hands. It’s all about speed with our core and hips! Take a look at the video to see Brendan explain it in further detail!
There won't be any golf played at Valhalla anytime soon: http://t.co/vmMsxB8686 (Via @pgaofamerica) #GolfPax pic.twitter.com/zr2mg65tFc
