🧠 Why You Hit It Great in Practice… But Not on the Course
“Why do I hit it great on the range but fall apart on the course?”
I hear this all the time. And I just finished a lesson with a player dealing with that exact issue. What we found might be the reason you struggle too.
Most golfers walk into lessons expecting quick fixes….
But that’s where things go wrong. Here is how you should take lessons
👉 Watch now
💥 The Real Problem: Tension
This player looked solid on the range—balanced takeaway, good motion. But on the course, he’d grip the club so tight his arms locked up. He’d yank the club inside and come over the top.
It wasn’t his swing—it was tension.
When you’re tight, especially in your arms and hands, your body doesn’t move the same. And it throws off everything.
🔁 A Drill That Actually Works
Telling someone to “relax” doesn’t help much. So I gave him something technical to do—something simple:
Set up behind the ball
Hinge the club vertically with your hands
Let the club fall back down
Look at your target
Go
That hinge move became his trigger. If he could hinge the club, his grip pressure was soft enough. If not, he was too tense.
🔄 Why It Helps
When you hinge properly, you:
Stay softer in the hands
Avoid rolling the club inside
Start the takeaway with freedom—not force
This gives you a better chance of taking the swing you trust on the range and making it show up when it matters.
👇 Try This on Your Next Round
Before every shot:
Hinge.
Check your grip tension.
Commit to your target.
Go.
It’s simple, but powerful. And if you tend to overthink, this one move can clear your mind and calm your body.
Thanks for reading! I hope this helps you connect your range game to the course.

How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential
Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.
Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.
Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.
