The most important position happens when you impact the ball. It’s all about being at the right place at the right time. So, what should impact position look like?

Key Elements:
•Hands and Shaft: The hands should be ahead of the ball creating a forward leaning shaft. Left arm is straight.
•Body Position: Hips are slightly open toward the target.
•Weight Distribution: Most of the weight is on the lead foot, about 80%
•Clubhead Path: With irons, the club is moving downward through the ball with the lowest point of the swing occurring after the ball is struck. Your Driver on a tee would otherwise see the point of impact at the apex of your swing.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:
•Overswinging: If you are making so much effort to hit the ball hard, it will get you off track to reach effective impact position.
•Scooping/Flipping: This is trying to help the ball in the air, which causes weak and inconsistent shots.
•Hanging Back: Failing the transfer weight to the lead side, resulting in fat or thin shots.
•Casting: Releasing the club to early or at the ball causing the hands to be behind the clubhead at impact.

Here's your Tip of the Week from Sun City Texas Golf Clubs!

Golf alignment is difficult because golfers don’t typically work on it, and because it is nearly impossible to see how you are aligned with any accuracy, particularly if you're practicing alone. From your perspective at address, it is hard to see if your shoulder alignment is open or closed relative to your target line. Here are some tips to get you aligned and keep your aim true.

1. Stand behind your ball first: When you practice always pick a target and trace an imaginary line from the ball to your target. After that set an alignment rod on the ground parallel to your target line - like a railroad track. Note that the stance line is slightly left of your target line (if you are a right-hand golfer).
2. Set up to the ball and align your club face first: It’s important that your club face points down the target line you set for yourself. Align the leading edge of the club perpendicular to the rod you placed on the ground.
3. Take your golf stance. Your lower body, or golf stance alignment, should be easy because of that rod you set down for yourself. If you watch good players practice, they almost always use an alignment rod on the ground to help them. Turn your head to look towards your target remembering that your stance and shoulder line will point slightly to the left of your target (if you are a right-hand golfer).
4. Align your shoulders parallel to the target line. Don't align your shoulders at your target or they will be closed. Align your shoulders slightly left of your target (if you are a right-hand golfer). Shoulder alignment is the most difficult but most important part of the golf alignment process.

Closed or open shoulder alignment can set you up for a poor result by coming over the top of the ball or cutting across it.

Today is Thank a Superintendent Day!

We would like to recognize our golf course superintendents and their assistants for their hard work and dedication. They work weekends and holidays to provide the best possible course conditions for our residents. Working around daily play and Mother Nature is not always easy, but their commitment never wavers.

If you see them on the courses this week, please take a moment to thank them and share your appreciation for everything they do.

Before your tee time, they've put in hours.

From monitoring turf conditions to preparing every green and bunker, golf course superintendents do countless things to create the experience golfers enjoy every day.

This Day, take a moment to recognize the work that starts long before your first swing: https://thankasuper.org/
