Fix Your Golf Swing with... a Chunk of Hose?!

Hey golfers! Dave Lengyel, head teaching professional at Victoria Golf Course, is back with a Bakscape Golf Tip of the Week, and let me tell you – this one’s going to have you looking at your garden hose in a whole new way. Forget fancy gadgets and overpriced training tools, because today, Dave is using a chunk of hose to teach you how to nail your backswing. Yep, you read that right – a hose.

The Chunk of Hose Backswing Drill

Wondering how a hose can fix your golf swing? Here’s how it works:

1. Set It Down: Place the hose on the ground. We know, not your usual start!
2. Swing Back: As you take your backswing, aim to land the hose on your right shoulder. If it lands perfectly, you’ve got your left arm straight and your shoulder alignment spot on.
3. Avoid the Classic Mistakes: If the hose swings behind you or, worse, hits you on the head, you’ve got some work to do.

This simple (and hilarious) drill will have you mastering your backswing in no time – and your neighbors might even stop by to ask why you’re swinging a garden hose like a pro!

Why This Works

The hose trick is perfect because it forces you to keep your swing tight and focused. You’ll quickly spot errors and can adjust on the fly. Plus, it’s a great excuse to get outside and raid your garage for some unconventional golf tools.
