“Extension.” A word we often hear but rarely discuss. Extension of your arms and the club post-impact is critical to hit long, straight, crisp shots.

• Post-impact, both arms should “feel” very long with the club growing straight out of both arms, extending straight down the target line. You should begin to practice this in a very controlled, precise chipping motion until you can hold the brief finish of a chip shot in a fully extended condition. Once you can do this on a regular basis, allow
  the motion to grow gradually. Focus on the post-impact feeling of extension.
