A Good Drill to Learn Proper Release
If you have problems with releasing your golf club properly, you might want to try this.
Just take your normal address position and make a full swing without a club. Use only your right arm – let it swing freely both on the backswing and follow-through. As you finish your swing, let your right hand give you a pat on the back, while making sure that your right shoulder is aimed somewhat down the target line and that most of your weight is on your left foot. (Just reverse this instruction if you are left-handed.)
This is the same feel that you want when you swing your golf club. This feel will give you both a good release, and a full follow-through.
You may well want to incorporate this drill into your warm-up exercises so that you are fully ready to use this feel on the golf course as soon as you start playing.
