     SWING TIP OF THE MONTH

                    Simplifying the backswing 

Golf backswing simplified
Quite frequently I hear from students that they are confused as to where the club should go in their backswing. As a result, I created this video to, hopefully, simplify and clarify where we would like to swing the club in the backswing.
PGA Tour Player Swing of the Month
Tommy "Two Gloves" Gainey
2012 McGladrey Champion
Tommy Gainey 2012 McGladrey Champion: www.hicksgolf.com
Tommy Gainey won his first PGA Tour event recently. He is best known for wearing two gloves and participating in Golf Channel's "Big Break."  As you will see in the video, there are some items that may appear a little unorthodox (very strong grip, Arnold Palmer finish, etc...), but work very well for him and his game.
