Every Golfer Needs This

PGA Advanced Fellow Alistair Davies introduces the 'No Pump' drill designed to teach golfers how to generate power from the ground up. By starting from a static halfway back position and resting the club on an alignment rod, players are forced to engage their feet, legs, and hips to move the ball effectively without relying on momentum or a long backswing.

• Generate power using your feet, legs, and hips rather than just the upper body.
• Avoid moving the torso forward/lunging at the ball to create speed.
• Start from a static halfway position to isolate and feel the transition/downswing sequence.
• Use an alignment stick as a physical barrier to prevent a full backswing during the drill.
