Lesson 1 - Shot #

Weak Grip, Open Stance, Ball Front, High Hands



		Introduction:

		This 1st session will introduce you to the way the lessons work and teach you how to hit a medium trajectory slice that you can control. This shot is useful for curving the golf ball around obstructions that are between you and your target. Imagine being in the short rough on the right side of the fairway. There is water on the left side of the fairway that restricts the distance that you can hit a straight shot. This shot will allow you to play your shot around the obstruction and land the ball farther down the fairway than would otherwise be possible. It has the added advantage of guiding the ball away from the trouble on the left.<P> Since this is the 1st lesson in the Shot Making Academy, let's make sure you understand what you need to do in order to get the most out of your lessons.<P> The main goal of Billy Casper's Shot Making Academy is to teach you how to shape your golf shots in order to play better golf. The secondary goal is to give you the kind of understanding of the golf swing that will allow you to be your own teacher and improve your swing by knowing how to change what is not working.<P> If you work your way through all 54 Lessons using the instruction in the Instruction Panel, you will meet both of these goals. Let me know how you are doing.<P> <B>Billy Casper</B>



		Instructions:

		<B>Always warm up before you begin practice.<P> <B>Start your practice with a 7 iron and use a half swing.</B> You are not interested in distance. Make the shot fly the way it is described.<P> Moniter your Grip, Stance, Ball Position and Hand Position after each shot.<P> <B>Continue hitting shots from this position until you consistantly achieve the desired shot shape.</B><P> <B>If you are having trouble making solid contact with the ball, try placing a glove or towel in your right arm pit and keeping it there throughout the swing. This will keep you connected and help your tempo.</B>



		Lesson Notes:

		When you have finished practicing the positions at home, it's time to <B>Take It To The Range</B>. It will work best if you have a range that uses mats since that makes placing the allignment tape easier and allows you to continue to hit from the same place each time. If you have a mat set-up in your house you can practice there but, you will not really be able to see the ball flight and it will be difficult to be sure that your are doing everything correctly.
