 Glenn: What are your strengths as a player? Tom: I would put them in this order: A) my driving of the ball, B) my long irons, and C) my chipping. My weakness is the 60- to 70-yard wedge shot, which I’m striving to improve. Glenn: Any tips to help our readers become better drivers of the ball? Tom: Yes. You’ve got to feel as if you are sweeping the ball off of the tee. Also, position the ball off of the inside of your left foot. Glenn: What are your swing thoughts as you practice? Tom: I’m staying loose and working on the trajectory of my ball and the shape of the flight. If these things are good, I can trust my swing. Glenn: You are well balanced as you hold your finish. Is that something you work on? Tom: Yes, I work on that a lot. Amateurs need to be taught about good weight shift and good tempo and that will greatly help their balance. These things, plus keeping a steady head, are big factors in a repeating swing.
