PGA professional Adam Bazalgette from Scratch Golf Academy demonstrates how to effectively practice your golf swing at home using a 'connect the dots' methodology. By focusing on three key areas—setup, the top of the backswing, and impact—golfers can build a repeatable neurological map using simple tools like a mirror and a paper wad. The video highlights the importance of transitioning from a free-flowing practice swing to a functional, ball-focused motion.
Use a mirror to ensure your setup is balanced and you are not sitting too far back on your heels.
Mental 'dot connecting' between the address and the top of the backswing reduces overthinking and increases fluidity.
Practice the impact position by pressing your club against a chair leg to feel handle-forward pressure.
The Paper Wad Drill is a safe, effective way to practice striking at home and mapping the clubhead to the ball.
Simplicity is key; follow the lead of pros like Justin Rose and Jessica Korda by maintaining a consistent spine angle and centered pivot.
