⛳ THE 15TH CLUB: THE CROWDED PRACTICE GREEN

Dick Logan, Your Golf Mentor, has a tournament-day tip every golfer should know.

You get to the course ready to warm up…and every hole on the practice green is taken. Now what?

🎯 Create your own target.
Use a tee or an alignment stick as your target and build a complete putting warm-up around it.

From 10, 15 and 20 feet, find:
• Uphill putts breaking left and right
• Downhill putts breaking left and right
• Straight putts

You don’t need an open hole to get tournament-ready. You need a target, a plan, and the discipline to prepare with purpose.

🧠 That’s using your 15th Club — your mind.
Next time the practice green is packed, don’t wait for a hole. Make your own.

Golf is about making smart decisions.
When you’re around the green with a bunker in front of you and plenty of room behind the flag, the smart play is simple: make sure your next shot gets on the green.

Don’t leave it short in the bunker and turn one shot into two.

🧠 Use your 15th Club — make smart decisions, avoid unnecessary trouble, and save strokes.

The smart shot can save your score.

When you find trouble, don’t automatically try the hero shot.

Take the high-percentage play: get the ball safely back into the fairway, back in play, and give yourself a clean shot to the green.

You may not make birdie—but you can still save par, avoid the big number, and keep your round moving in the right direction.

That’s using your 15th club: your mind.

DL 15th Club

🏌️ Your most important club may be the one that isn’t in your bag—your mind.

Smart golf course management can save strokes before you ever swing.

When trouble is on one side of the hole, tee your ball on that same side of the tee box and aim away from the danger. This gives you a better angle and more room to keep the ball in play.

Don’t just swing harder—play smarter.

Chicken Wing

⛳ Three Remedies to Eliminate the Chicken Wing

A bent lead arm through impact can cause you to slice the ball, lose distance, and hit shots fat.

Try these three drills to promote better extension:

1️⃣ Make practice swings using only your lead arm.
2️⃣ Swing an Orange Whip or weighted orange-ball trainer.
3️⃣ Add ring weights to your club and make controlled practice swings.

Each drill helps you feel the lead arm extending outward and staying straighter through impact—just like the pros!

Work on that extension for cleaner contact, more power, and straighter shots.

🏌️‍♂️⛳ Avoid the Dreaded Chicken Wing! 🐔💪

Watch the best players in the world 🌎🏆 and you’ll notice one thing: their arms stay fully extended through impact and into the follow-through! 💥

When the lead arm bends too early, it creates the dreaded “chicken wing” 🐔—costing you power ⚡, consistency 🎯 and solid contact 🏌️‍♂️.

The goal isn’t to keep your arms stiff! 🚫
Let them extend naturally through the ball as your body continues rotating toward the target. 🔄⛳

✅ Rotate through
✅ Extend toward the target
✅ Finish balanced
✅ Create more power 💥

Better extension means better contact, more consistency and stronger golf shots! 🎯🔥
