Phase 0

SSS Warmup — No ball needed

8-iron or 9-iron5–7 min

3× No-Turn Backswing (hold each position)
5× slow Rotate & Relocate (feel the hip fire)
5× full swings — watch divot land right of ball

💬 Feel: Hips move first, arms follow

More Detail

3× No-Turn Backswing: Arms up like a touchdown signal — hips stay completely square. Then tip the clubhead 45° away from target (to the right for lefty). Coil trail shoulder toward chin. Pause and feel the resistance. That's lag loading.

5× Rotate & Relocate: From the top of your backswing, fire your lead hip toward the target BEFORE your arms move down. Let your chest follow. Hold the finish 3 seconds. This grooves the exact sequence you'll use all session.

5× Full Swings, no ball: Combine both drills into a fluid motion. Watch where the club touches the ground — it should land to your RIGHT (forward of where the ball would be). That confirms your hip sequence is working.

Warmup Flow

Phase 1

Short Irons — Contact Quality

PW (45°)9-iron8-iron~20 balls

Ball position: center of stance
Focus: flush contact, divot right of ball, consistent finish. Don't chase distance.

💬 Feel: Ball first, then ground

Ball Position & Tips

Ball Position — Top View (Lefty)

Hands slightly ahead of the ball — shaft leans toward target at address
Weight 50/50 at setup, shifts fully to lead side at impact
These clubs build your core contact habit — quality over distance
Watch your divot: it should appear to the RIGHT of where the ball was

⚠ Common Mistake

Trying to scoop the ball airborne. Trust the loft — hit down and through, not up. The club's loft does the lifting.

Phase 2

Mid Irons + Hybrid

7-iron6-iron4-Hybrid~25 balls

Ball position: slightly right (toward trail foot) as clubs get longer
Same hip-fire sequence — hips before arms every time.

💬 Feel: Wider arc, same sequence

Ball Position & Tips

Ball Position — Top View (Lefty)

Ball moves 1–2 ball-widths toward trail foot compared to short irons
Widen stance slightly as clubs get longer — supports the bigger arc
4-Hybrid plays like a long iron: ball slightly trail of center, sweep through
Same hip-fire sequence as Phase 1 — the swing thought never changes

⚠ Common Mistake

Swinging harder with longer clubs. Swing wider and smoother — the extra shaft length adds distance automatically.

Phase 3

Driver

Driver 10.5°Tee: 2¾" — 3 marks~15 balls

Ball position: off right instep (lead foot)
Slight upswing at impact. Same hip/chest rotation.
Swing smoother, not harder.

💬 Feel: Sweeping up through the ball

Ball Position & Tee Setup

Ball Position — Top View (Lefty)

Tee Setup — 2¾" with 3 Marks

Driver is the ONLY club you hit on the upswing — ball forward enables this
Widen stance to shoulder-width or beyond for stability
Tilt spine slightly away from target — weight a touch trail at address
Smoother tempo = straighter, longer drives. Harder = more curve, less control

⚠ Common Mistake

Ball too far back in the stance — forces a downward hit on the driver, killing distance. Ball off lead heel is the rule.

Golden Rules

Always aim at a specific target — never hit to nowhere.

One swing thought per session. Never change mid-session.

Bad shot? Reset, breathe, commit to the next one.

Sand Wedge — chipping green only for now.

Warm Up

5 Practice Swings — No Ball 🌀

7-Iron5 minSlow motion

Pick up the 7-iron. Take 5 really big, super slow practice swings. Feel the club going back, then fire through. No ball yet — just groove the feeling.

💬 Think: "Turn back, then FIRE forward!"

More Detail

On swing 1–2: go so slow it feels silly. On swing 3–4: normal speed. On swing 5: try to hold your finish for 3 seconds without falling. If you can't balance, the swing was too fast or too hard.

Pro Tip: Close your eyes for one of the practice swings and just feel the rotation. Where does the club feel heaviest? That's the club head doing its job.

Phase 1

Contact Challenge 🎯

9-Iron or 7-Iron~10 balls

The Game: Hit 7 out of 10 in the air. Count every airborne shot out loud. Celebrate every one that flies! Focus on making contact — not how far it goes.

💬 Feel: Hit DOWN on it — the club does the lifting!

More Detail

Ball position: middle of your stance. Feet shoulder-width. Weight 50/50. Take a normal swing — don't try to scoop the ball up. The loft on the 9-iron does that automatically.

The Game Goal: If you hit 7+ in the air = you WIN Phase 1! Move to Phase 2. Under 7? No big deal — take 5 more tries. Every shot is practice.

⚠ Watch For

Trying to help the ball up by scooping. Hit through the ball into the ground. The divot (or brushed grass) should be in FRONT of where the ball was.

Phase 2

Distance Explorer 📏

7-IronFW Wood 23°~15 balls

The Game: Try different clubs and see which goes farthest. Hit 5 with 7-iron, 5 with the Fairway Wood, and 5 mixing it up. Remember your personal record!

💬 Feel: Longer club = wider, smoother swing. Same sequence!

More Detail

Ball position moves forward as clubs get longer — for the fairway wood, play it just inside your LEFT heel (lead heel for a right-hander). Same swing sequence — just a wider arc.

Track your distances: Where does your 7-iron land on average? What about the FW Wood? This is super useful info — remember it!

Phase 3

Rocket Launch 🚀 — Driver Only!

Driver 17°~5 ballsMax fun

Just rip it. Tee it up, swing as hard as you want, and watch it go. No swing thoughts — just pure fun. If it goes sideways, laugh and try again.

💬 Feel: Sweep it up off the tee. Smooth is fast!

Tee Setup

Ball position: off your LEFT (lead) heel — as far forward as it goes. Tee height: about half the ball above the club face. Wide stance. Weight slightly back.

Driver is the ONE club you hit on the upswing — ball position forward makes this happen automatically. Just trust the setup and swing!

Kid's Golden Rules 🌟

Count your GOOD shots — forget the bad ones immediately.

Water break whenever you want. Seriously.

Stop when it stops being fun. Quality over quantity.

⏱ Keep sessions to 20–30 minutes max — short and focused beats long and tired.

One swing thought only: "TURN and FIRE!"

Warm Up

3 Magic Swings — No Ball 🪄

7-IronSuper slow2 min

Pick up the 7-iron and take 3 super slow practice swings like you're moving through honey. Feel the club go back, then swoop through. No ball yet — just feel it!

💬 "Reach back and SWOOOOOP!"

More Detail

Make it silly — go SO slow that it's funny. Let her laugh. On the 3rd swing ask her to hold the finish and balance on one foot if she can. Any giggles = winning.

What you're teaching: Muscle memory for the swing shape before adding the complication of a ball. At age 5 this is huge.

Phase 1

Make It Move! 🎯

7-Iron~8 ballsJust make contact

The only goal: hit the ball and make it go forward. ANY forward movement = success! Count every ball that moves and cheer out loud for each one.

💬 "Just hit it and watch where it goes!"

More Detail

For a 5-year-old lefty: Ball in the middle of her stance. Right hand on top of the grip (lead hand for lefty). Let her swing naturally — don't over-correct at this age.

If the ball isn't moving: Tee it up! A tee makes contact way easier and builds confidence fast. There's no shame in teeing up at the range when you're 5.

Dad focus: Watch for her head staying down through impact — that's the one thing worth gently reinforcing at this age. Everything else can wait.

Phase 2

Pick Your Club! 🌈

Her choice~5 ballsPure fun

Let her pick any club she wants and just hit. No rules in this phase. Driver off the deck? Sure. Putter at the range targets? Why not. Just swing and smile.

💬 "Which one do you want to try?"

More Detail

Autonomy is huge for 5-year-olds. Letting her choose the club gives her ownership of the experience. She'll remember the fun, not whether she used the "right" club.

End the session here — while she's still happy and energized. A 15-minute session that ends on a high beats a 45-minute session that ends in a meltdown every time.

Golden Rules for Age 5 🌟

🎉 Cheer for every swing — contact or not, she tried!

⏱ Stop at 15 minutes — always leave her wanting more

🍦 Promise a treat after — she earned it just by showing up

📵 Put your phone away — she notices, and it matters to her

🌈 If she's not feeling it today, that's totally fine — come back next time

Movements

5–7

Minutes

Excuses

Torso Rotations — 30 sec

Club across shoulders behind neck. Rotate left and right slowly — this IS your swing motion.

↳ Warms up the exact rotation you'll use all session

Hip Circles — 30 sec each

Hands on hips, draw big slow circles each direction. Courses have uneven lies — you need mobile hips.

↳ Loose hips = better rotation through the ball

Shoulder Cross-Body — 20 sec each

Pull one arm across your chest and hold. Swap sides. Shoulders take heavy load in backswing and follow-through.

↳ Prevents shoulder tightness mid-round

Wrist Flexion & Extension — 20 sec each

Extend one arm, gently pull fingers back then forward. Both wrists. Forearms fatigue faster than you expect.

↳ Protects wrists and forearms through impact

Hamstring Hinge — 30 sec

Feet shoulder-width, soft knees, hinge forward from hips with flat back until you feel the pull. This IS your golf posture.

↳ Warming up your address position before you hit

Slow Practice Swings — 1 min ⭐

10 slow-motion swings with PW. No ball. Feel the rotation, weight shift, hold the finish. Groove it before speed.

↳ Most important 60 seconds of your session

Remember

Everything is gentle and movement-based. No cold static yanking.

Always finish with slow practice swings before hitting ball one.

If something hurts — stop. Golf should never cause sharp pain.

During recovery: skip swings, do steps 1–5 gently as physio allows.

No Excuses

The Helicopter ✈️ — 10 circles each arm

Hold arms out wide. Make BIG slow circles forward, then backward. Your arms are helicopter blades. 10 each direction.

↳ Warms up your shoulders for the backswing

The Washing Machine 🌀 — 10 rotations

Put your club across your shoulders behind your neck (like a yoke). Rotate left and right slowly, 10 times each way. This IS your exact golf swing motion!

↳ The same rotation you use every single swing

The Hula Hoop 🌈 — 10 circles each way

Hands on hips. Draw the biggest circles you can with your hips, 10 each direction. Exaggerate it. The sillier it looks the better it works.

↳ Mobile hips = more power and rotation

The Lunge Hero 🦸 — 20 seconds each side

Step your right foot forward into a lunge. Keep your back straight and sink your left knee toward the ground. Hold 20 seconds, then swap legs. This opens up your hips — huge for a powerful turn.

↳ Sitting at school all day tightens your hips — this undoes it

Robot Wrists 🤖 — 10 each wrist

Stick one arm straight out. Slowly flex your wrist UP, then DOWN, 10 times. Swap wrists. Think: robot arm moving on command.

↳ Wrists do a lot of work through impact — protect them

Superhero Landing 🦸 — Hold 10 seconds

Feet shoulder-width, bend forward from your HIPS (not your back) with a flat back — like you just landed and are about to straighten up. Hold it for 10 seconds. That's your golf posture!

↳ This is literally your address position

Zombie Swings 🧟 — 5 slow-mo swings ⭐

Grab the 7-iron. Take 5 practice swings so slow it looks like a zombie in slow motion. Feel every part of the swing — back, top, forward, finish. Hold each finish.

↳ Most important 60 seconds of the whole warmup

Silly OK

Dinosaur Arms 🦕 — 10 big circles

Stretch both arms out wide like a dinosaur. Make the biggest arm circles you can — 5 forward, 5 backward. Be as loud and silly as you want!

↳ Warms up your shoulders for the big swing

Hula Hoop 🌈 — 10 big hip circles

Hands on hips. Make the biggest, silliest circles with your hips — like you're hula-hooping with an invisible hoop! 10 circles each way.

↳ Loose hips = more power and spin!

Superhero Landing 🦸‍♀️ — Hold 5 seconds

Feet apart, bend a little at the knees, lean forward just a tiny bit from your hips — like a superhero who just landed from flying. Hold it for 5 seconds. That's your golf stance!

↳ This is literally how you stand to hit the ball

Slow-Mo Swing 🐌 — 3 practice swings ⭐

Pick up the 7-iron. Take 3 super duper slow practice swings — reach back as far as you can, then swooooop all the way through. Hold the finish like a statue!

↳ The most important part of the whole warm-up!

⚡ The Golden Rule

Lower Body → Torso → Arms → Club

Same sequence. Every club. Every shot. Never changes.

ADDRESS

Feet shoulder-width apart

Slight bend at waist, not knees — spine tilts from hips

Weight 50/50, arms hanging loose and natural

Ball: center (irons) → right heel (driver) — as a lefty, right = lead foot

Drills for this phase

🏋️ Setup Ritual

Build the same routine every shot: club first → feet → aim line → posture → waggle. Consistency at address = consistency everywhere else. Do this before every single range ball.

🏋️ Mirror Check (At Home)

Stand side-on to a mirror. Check: spine tilts from the hips (not a hunch), arms hang naturally below shoulders, slight knee flex. If your back is rounded you're hunching — tilt from hips.

TAKEAWAY

First 18 inches: ONE-PIECE move — wrists, arms, and shoulders together

Don't lift the club — rotate and turn as a unit

Hands stay slightly forward of the ball

Club stays low to the ground as long as feels natural

Drills for this phase

🏋️ Headcover Under Lead Arm

Tuck a headcover under your right (lead) armpit. Make a takeaway — if it falls out, you lifted instead of rotating. Keep it pinned for the first foot of the backswing.

🏋️ 20% Speed Takeaway

Take the club back at 20% of your normal speed. So slow it feels ridiculous. At this pace you can actually feel whether the club is being lifted or rotated. Groove the feeling, then slowly add speed.

BACKSWING

Starts from the ground up — pressure shifts to trail foot (left foot)

Hips turn ~45°, shoulders ~90° — that gap is your coil and power

Torso follows hips, arms follow torso — sequence matters

Club shaft points at target at the top

Drills for this phase

🏋️ Hip vs. Shoulder Rotation Check

At the top of your backswing, pause. Notice: hips turned about 45°, shoulders about 90°. That X-factor gap between them is stored energy. If your hips turned as much as your shoulders, you've lost the coil.

🏋️ Pause at the Top

Force yourself to stop completely at the top for 1 full second before starting down. This breaks the habit of rushing the transition. Hit 10 balls doing this — you'll feel the difference immediately.

TRANSITION

⚡ Most Critical

Hips shift toward target FIRST — before arms start down

Hands stay back — let the gap happen naturally

Arms drop naturally — don't pull them down with your hands

This separation between hips & hands = where all the power comes from

Drills for this phase

🏋️ The Step Drill

As you reach the top of your backswing, literally step your right (lead) foot toward the target before starting down. The physical step forces lower body to go first. Once it feels natural, reduce the step to a bump, then internalize it.

🏋️ 10% Speed Swings

Swing at 10% of your normal speed — so slow it feels almost impossible. At this pace, you physically cannot rush the transition. Feel what correct sequencing feels like (hips → arms → club), then gradually increase to 25%, 50%, 75%.

DOWNSWING

Weight shifts to lead foot (right foot) through the downswing

Hips rotate through → torso follows → arms last

80–90% weight on lead foot at impact

Let the club shallow and drop into the slot — don't force it

Drills for this phase

🏋️ Hip Bump Drill

From address, without swinging: bump your right (lead) hip toward the target and back, repeatedly. That bump is the exact trigger that starts the downswing. Drill it 20 times until it feels automatic, then add it to your swing.

🏋️ Shallow Path Check

Drop a headcover or towel 6 inches inside your ball (between you and the ball). Practice swings without hitting it. If you catch the object, your club is coming too steep/over the top. The goal is a shallow, inside path.

IMPACT

Irons: ball first, then turf — hands ahead of club head

Driver / 7-wood: sweeping upward strike, ball off lead heel

Club approaches slightly from the inside — not over the top

Eyes on the back of the ball all the way through contact

Drills for this phase

🏋️ Forward Press at Address

Before every iron shot, press the handle of the club slightly toward the target at address. That forward lean is your impact position. Memorize how it feels — you're pre-setting the impact condition from the start.

🏋️ Divot Location Check

After every iron shot at the range, look at your divot. It should start to the RIGHT of where the ball was (the target side). If the divot is behind the ball or in the same spot, your sequence is off and you're bottoming out too early.

FOLLOW-THROUGH

Let momentum carry the club to lead shoulder — don't stop it

Chest rises naturally — don't hold your head down too long

Finish balanced and tall, belt buckle facing target

If you stumble or fall, the downswing was too hard

Drills for this phase

🏋️ Pose It — Every Shot

Hold your finish for a full 3 seconds. Every single shot. No exceptions. This forces complete rotation and weight transfer. If you can't hold the pose, the swing was off-balance. This one habit fixes more problems than almost anything else.

🏋️ Feet Together Drill

Hit half-shots with your feet touching together. This forces balance — you can't muscle the ball, you have to rotate. When you go back to normal stance, that rotation feeling carries over perfectly.

⚡ The Golden Rule

Hips → Chest → Arms → Club

Same sequence. Every club. Every shot. Always.

STAND RIGHT

Address — like a superhero, ready to act

Feet shoulder-width apart, slight bend at the HIPS (not waist)

Weight 50/50, arms hanging loose and natural

Ball: middle of stance for irons → left heel for driver

Grip firm but relaxed — like holding a tube of toothpaste

Drills for this phase

🎯 Handshake Grip

Grip the club like you're shaking Dad's hand. Not too tight, not too loose — if someone tried to pull it out you'd keep it, but you're not strangling it. Your left hand goes on top for a righty.

🎯 Superhero Setup

From the superhero landing stretch: bend at the hips, soft knees, arms hang down naturally. Ball should sit right under your hands without reaching. Bounce gently on your toes — that's the "ready" feeling.

SMOOTH TAKEAWAY

First 18 inches — everything moves together

Push the club away like sliding a book off a table

Wrists, arms and shoulders all move as ONE piece

Club stays low to the ground at first — don't lift it

Hands stay just ahead of the club head

Drills for this phase

🎯 Book on a Table

Imagine the ball is a book sitting on a table. The takeaway is sliding the book away from you — not lifting it. Low and slow for the first foot. Everything (wrists, arms, shoulders) moves together as one piece.

🎯 Eyes on the Club Head

Do a slow-motion takeaway and watch the club head the whole time. Did it stay low and go straight back? Or did it go inside right away? Straight back for the first 12 inches is the goal.

LOAD IT UP

Backswing — wind yourself up like a spring

Turn your shoulders until your BACK faces the target

Weight shifts to your right (trail) foot naturally

Hips turn about halfway, shoulders go ALL the way — back facing target

Feel coiled and loaded — like a spring ready to fire

Drills for this phase

🎯 Show Your Back

From address: turn your shoulders until your back is facing the target. That's it — that's a full backswing shoulder turn. Do it without the club first, then add it. Feel the coil in your core.

🎯 Pause at the Top

Take a full backswing and hold it for 1 full second before swinging down. This feels weird but teaches you to not rush. Do 5 balls pausing at the top — watch how much more solid the contact is.

THE SECRET MOVE ⚡

Transition — the most important thing in golf

Hips shift toward the target FIRST — before arms start down

This feels like a slight bump toward the target

Arms stay back — let them be dragged by the hips

This tiny move is your secret weapon — it's where ALL your power comes from

Drills for this phase

🎯 The Step Drill

Here's the secret: as you reach the TOP of your backswing, literally step your left (lead) foot toward the target. This forces your lower body to go first. Once you feel it, shrink the step until it's just a shift.

🎯 10% Speed Swing

Swing at 10% of your normal speed — genuinely that slow. So slow a snail could keep up. You physically CANNOT rush the transition at this speed. Feel the right order: hips bump → chest turns → arms follow. Then add speed slowly.

FIRE AWAY!

Downswing — unwind everything in order

Hips rotate through → chest follows → arms come last

Weight shifts to left (lead) foot through impact

Feel like you're stepping INTO the shot — weight onto your left side

Let the arms FALL naturally — don't push them down, just let go

Drills for this phase

🎯 Hip Bump Warm-Up

From address, no club: bump your left (lead) hip toward the target and bring it back. Repeat 20 times. That bump is the EXACT thing that starts the downswing. Groove it until it feels automatic, then add it to your swing.

🎯 Listen for the Whoosh

Take a swing holding the club upside down (gripping near the head). Swing it fast. You should hear a loud whoosh — the louder the whoosh at the bottom, the better your speed delivery. No whoosh = arms only, no body.

SMASH IT 💥

Impact — look at the ball the whole time

Irons: hit the ball THEN the ground (ball first, then turf)

Driver: sweeping upward strike — ball is teed up for a reason

Eyes stay on the back of the ball through contact

Press the grip slightly toward the target before you swing — that's the winning position

Drills for this phase

🎯 Forward Shaft Lean

At address with your 7-iron: press the grip slightly toward the target (about a fist-width). That forward lean = impact position. Memorize how it feels and try to recreate it every swing.

🎯 Divot Direction Game

After every iron shot, look at where the grass gets brushed/divoted. It should be IN FRONT of where the ball was — meaning on the target side. If it's behind the ball, you're bottoming out too early. Count how many you get right.

STICK THE LANDING 🏆

Finish — pose it and make it look good

Let the club swing all the way to your left shoulder

Belt buckle faces the target — full rotation

Weight 90%+ on left (lead) foot, right foot on its toe

Hold it for 3 seconds and count out loud — wobble = swing smoother next time

Drills for this phase

🎯 Pose It Every Time

After EVERY single shot: hold the finish for 3 full seconds. Belt buckle facing the target, weight on your left foot, club behind your head. No exceptions. If you wobble — the downswing was too hard or unbalanced.

🎯 Feet Together Challenge

Hit 5 balls with your feet literally touching together. You'll be forced to use rotation instead of power. Balance or fall over! Once you go back to normal stance, that rotational feeling transfers perfectly.

⭐ The Magic Words

Reach Back → SWOOOOOP!

That's the whole swing. Two words. That's it.

READY POSITION 🦸‍♀️

Stand like a superhero — ready for anything

Feet apart — about as wide as your shoulders

Bend your knees a tiny bit — soft and bouncy

Hold the club with both hands — right hand on top (lefty!)

Look at the ball — eyes on the ball the whole time

Dad Tips

🎯 Lefty Grip Check

For a lefty, the right hand goes on top, left hand below. At age 5 don't stress the exact grip — just make sure both hands are on the club and she's comfortable. Correct grip comes with time.

🎯 Ball Position

Middle of her stance for all clubs at this age. Don't complicate it with different ball positions yet — one less thing to think about.

REACH BACK 🌀

Turn and reach the club as far back as you can

Turn your whole body — shoulders, hips, everything

Reach the club back as high as feels comfortable

Keep your eyes on the ball the whole time

Dad Tips

🎯 The Pointing Drill

Ask her to "point the club at the sky" during the backswing. This automatically gets her into a good position without any technical explanation. Works great for age 5.

SWOOOOOP! 💥

Swing through the ball and keep going!

Swing THROUGH the ball — don't stop at it!

Let the club swing all the way through to the other side

The ball is just in the way of the swing — hit through it

Dad Tips

🎯 The Swooooop Sound

Say "SWOOOOOP!" out loud with her as she swings. The word forces a full follow-through naturally. Kids love making sound effects — use it.

🎯 What to Look For

At age 5, the main thing is making contact. Don't worry about path, face angle, or shaft lean. If she's hitting the ball and smiling, everything is working perfectly.

FREEZE! 🏆

Hold your finish like a statue and POSE!

Let the club swing all the way up over your shoulder

Hold your balance — don't fall over!

FREEZE and hold it for 3 seconds — say "ta-da!" 🌟

Dad Tips

🎯 The Pose Game

Make it a game — she has to "freeze like a statue" after every swing. If she wobbles, make it funny. A balanced finish means a balanced swing, so this one habit does a lot of good work quietly.
