Tuning up for the 2009 PGA TOUR Season

 | 12. January 2009 09:01 Posted by Matt Killen
The day after Christmas I was back to work getting a couple of my players ready for the season.  I spent time working with J.B. Holmes and Chad Campbell, who both look really sharp and ready for big things on TOUR this year.

This coming week I will begin working with Shaun Micheel again. Last year, Shaun had season ending shoulder surgery, so both he and I are really excited that he is healthy and ready to get back on the course.

While the PGA TOUR pros are getting geared up and fine tuning their game for the start of the season, many of us are still stuck inside, months away from our first round of golf. If you can’t get outside or to an indoor facility, there is still a lot you can do to improve your performance.  The Acceleration Drill is a simple drill that you can do at home that helps you work on building power and acceleration throughout your swing.  A colleague of mine from Putt.com, Corey Taylor, demonstrates how to do the drill with Brent Long from Western Kentucky University.

Check out the video and use the Acceleration Drill to fine tune your game for the season.
