Don’t turn into a couch potato.  We might be inside but you can still work on your game with the right guidance.

GOLFTEC’s Director of Teaching Quality, Brad Skupaka, has a drill to knock off your rust and all you need is a couch, but you’ll need to get off of it. In this drill, Skupaka demonstrates how standing behind the couch with your lead thigh pressed up against the back is a great way to work on your backswing.

That’ll help your overall swing because if you begin the takeaway and notice you start to sway away from the couch, that’s an automatic indicator your shots will be heavy at impact. For solid, crisp contact, your goal is to keep as much of your hip and tailbone touching the couch throughout the backswing.
