Introduction to Breaking 80

Are you ready to take your golf game to the next level and consistently break 80? In this article, we’ll explore the ultimate golf swing drill that can help you lower your scores. This drill focuses on three critical moves that will help you achieve a tour-level pattern in your swing, giving you the confidence to tackle any course.

The Key Moves of the Golf Swing

To break 80, you only need to master three essential movements in your golf swing. Let’s break down each one:

1. The Backswing

The first move is all about your right shoulder. Can you take your right shoulder and pull it behind your head while increasing the pressure on your right foot? This is crucial for establishing the proper backswing. By moving from the inside out, you set the stage for everything else in your swing to fall into place.

2. The Transition

The transition is often regarded as the hardest part of the golf swing, yet it can be simplified. Once you’ve turned your chest back into the backswing position, do not turn your shoulders at all. Instead, focus on sitting into your left side. As you do this, your hips will naturally turn, which is part of my 'squat to square' concept. With this move, you will have completed two-thirds of your golf swing.

3. The Impact Position

Finally, we arrive at the impact position, which is the most crucial part of the entire swing. After executing a proper backswing and transition, the last step is to straighten your lead leg while pushing your hip open. This movement helps ensure that you are in the ideal position to strike the ball effectively.

Putting It All Together

By focusing on these three moves—pulling your right shoulder back, sitting into your left side during transition, and straightening your lead leg at impact—you can create a more efficient swing. Remember, the goal is to simplify the swing mechanics while maximizing power and accuracy.
