Josh is another young, strong, talented player who has been trying to qualify for any kind of tour since he got out of college a few years back. I taught Josh as a junior (he won 3 straight Maryland State Junior Championships and 2 State High School Championships) but lost track of him when he went off to the U. of Arkansas. He spent some time with other instructors and came back to see me about a year ago. And now for the good news: Josh just qualified for the Latin American Tour! In this session, we spend time on Josh’s wedges. I note that Josh’s backswing has gotten a bit vertical with the face somewhat closed, so I try to have him rotate his left hand and forearm from the beginning of the backswing to get his shaft on plane and round off his backswing. This encourages him to open his lower body in the downswing and to cover the ball better with his right side through impact, thus giving him more control over his distance and trajectory.
