The Grip and a square club face3:46
Master the grip by aligning your hands with the club’s bottom line to keep the clubface square at impact, promoting straighter, solid golf shots.
How to Aim3:36
Aim with a precise pre-shot routine that lines your body and club face to a chosen target, squaring the blade and swinging along a straight line.
Ball Positioning2:13
Center the ball for short irons and step out slightly for the driver to keep the clubface aligned with the target, emphasizing a solid pre-shot routine.
The Takeaway2:03
Master the takeaway by keeping the club back on a straight line, low and slow for the first 12 inches, building rhythm and timing for all clubs.
The Weight Shift2:16
Master the slow takeaway and learn a consistent weight shift to the inside of the right foot, then back to the left, boosting rhythm, timing, and clubhead speed.
Position of the Arms1:40
Position the arms in front of your body, take the club straight back, keep head down on top of ball, and shift weight to the left toward the target.
Clipping the Grass2:30
Clip the grass through impact to keep the head back and momentum going forward, then release the club to square the face for straighter shots.
Hold Your Finish1:32
hold your finish to maintain balance throughout the swing, keep your hands through, and finish on the left side to promote balance and a strong follow-through.

Kathy Whitworth's pitching tips emphasize a square clubface, controlled takeaway, and finishing on the other side, then practice distance control for shots to 10 yards, 30 yards, or 10 feet.
Chipping3:29
Chip around the edge of the green using a sand wedge or seven iron to carry to the green, keeping a square blade and a straight back through.
Sand Trap Play4:19
Master sand trap exit by placing the ball left of center behind the ball, using a flange sand wedge, and finishing on the left for momentum toward the target.

Practice long putts with swings to feel distance, keep eyes over the ball, and guide a neutral grip along a straight back-and-through line while reading greens and managing speed.
