			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few weeks ago I watched a DVD on the golf swing by Hank Haney (Tiger Woods&#8217; golf coach).  Unlike most golf videos that I remember watching as a kid, this one was really good.  Lots of detail on the fundamentals and mechanics of the swing.</p>
<p>As more of a &#8220;note to self&#8221; but happy to share with you, here are the goodies that I got from watching it:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hook the ball &#8211; all good golfers do this</li>
<li>Grip:
<ul>
<li>palms facing each other</li>
<li>softer grip promotes a hook (tigher = slice)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Stance:
<ul>
<li>feet, knees, hips, shoulders all parallel to a line left of the target</li>
<li>weight set like you are fielding a ground ball</li>
<li>weight distribution &#8211; irons are 55% left side, woods are 45% left side</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Back Swing:
<ul>
<li>lower body resists, turn the upper body (coil) on axis</li>
<li>eyes should be level during the turn</li>
<li>wrists cock naturally up &amp; down &#8211; not horizontally which is my bad habit</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Down Swing:
<ul>
<li>hit the inside portion of the ball</li>
<li>swing faster! don&#8217;t be afraid to let it rip</li>
<li>driver &#8211; turn your right foot out a bit to promote a bigger turn</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
