Always Start Your Swing Like This
If you don't get your takeaway right in the golf swing you will find it very difficult to strike your irons solid and hit your driver straight. The golf swing takes less than 1.5 seconds to complete of which only 0.5 seconds applies to your downswing.
This means that if you aren't in a great position at the top of your golf swing, you literally have no time to consistently make the necessary improvements to strike your irons perfect or hit your driver straight.
Preview & Picks: BMW PGA Championship
History, a strong field, and a famous golf course—these ingredients don’t necessarily guarantee a great tournament, but they certainly provide the foundation for one.
Because of these qualities, this event holds great significance for European pros, as well as for Billy Horschel, who plays in it because he grew up watching it.
That was back in the days when legends like Bernhard Langer, Seve Ballesteros, and José María Olazábal were winning.
Of course, it wasn’t always considered the flagship event of the DP World Tour, it took time and a lot of hiccups to get there. You can read more on the history below.

Nobody Knows Tour Pros Are Using This…
People are calling it the "Distance Code."
It's a simple but powerful concept the world's best have been using for years to add distance AND accuracy to their drives.
And there's a chance YOU can start using it today to add an extra 20-30 yards to your drives.
Because this secret is being released to the public for the first time ever in this brand new video. Go here to watch it now.
This "Distance Code" could change modern golf instruction as we know it. You don't need to swing harder or overhaul your entire swing.
Using just 30 balls (a small bucket at most driving ranges) you can turn weak slices and floaters into powerful penetrating drives.
