Some Tips from Rickie Fowler

With Rickie Fowler posting a solo second behind Adam Scott's dominating performance at the Australian PGA Championship, this seemed a good time to get some help from Rickie. This article, titled 4 Keys to Go Low, appeared in the October issue of Golf Digest.

Because Rickie isn't always overly caught up in mechanics -- however he doesn't paintings with an teacher, so that you realize that he is privy to what he is doing -- his recommendations are beneficial irrespective of what your swing looks like.

The article is divided into 4 sections, which I would label aim, setup, change of direction, and followthrough. Each of those 4 sections is divided into "body" and "mind," which should help you with that old problem of knowing what to think about in order to get the results you want. There are photos with each section, and there's a short video at the end where Rickie discusses alignment.

In addition, there are links to several other academic articles that Rickie has performed for the magazine.

All-in-all, a piece of writing with a huge number of very useful hints that does not take very long to read. It's worth finding out.
