Instructors John Montgomery

John Montgomery teaches three swing keys to dial in your carry distance with scoring irons. It’s not about how far your 9-iron goes, it’s how consistently you can carry the ball the intended number!

Thank you for this drill...I've been doing it wrong ...was trying to get the swish sound anywhere in my downswing. Can't wait to try it properly at and after the ball position!

I've been told by many I take the club back too far. I like the way you explained the issue and simplified it for a recreational golfer like me. Thanks!

what are your feelings about choking down slightly to hit it shorter than the clubs normal distance? For example, I hit my full 9 iron about 140 but if I want to hit it 135, I find that I can choke down about an inch and it naturally takes 5 yards off
