Summary

505 Premium: Too many golfers are frustrated with conventional golf instruction because of complicated nuances. Jim Venetos was a highly accomplished Junior golfer who worked with many Top 100 instructors who weren’t able to explain what made him such a successful and excellent ball striker. Luckily for us, Jim has become a very articulate and patient instructor whose simple method will have immediate results for you. His primary teaching includes 70/30 weight shift to the front foot and stillness in your entire body that will have you hitting the ball farther with a consistent draw using less effort.  He also provides us with an exclusive video tip on “The Keys To Solid Contact” which is at the end of this episode and also a video on our YouTube channel.Guide to complete Golf Smarter LibraryFor exclusive content and first access check out Corrected Mistakes on Substack: https://substack.com/@correctedmistake  Learn more about your ad choices.
