THIS week we continue our tutorial series involving Lancashire coach Gareth Benson.

The video Is a short clip which shows Gareth demonstrating the correct technique required for each drill.

His series covers a whole range of golf skills and will provide information and articles on his website on a variety of aspects of the game.

CURE YOUR SLICE 1. When trying to change your swingpath it often feels very different and unnatural to start with. Repetition of the correct habits will quickly enable your body to learn the correct feel and allow you to reproduce the new moves naturally. If your tendency is to slice the ball, select a seven iron, place the ball on a low tee peg and swing to the top of your backswing.

2. Create a feeling of holding your back towards the target and allow the arms to simply drop down to waist height without moving your shoulders. This will allow the club to start and continue down on a more improved and powerful inside angle of attack. Just feel as though the right elbow has dropped into your rib cage.

3. From waist height, now allow your arms, body and club to swing through and naturally collect the ball. Try to feel that the right forearm has rotated over the left which will automatically return the clubface square or even closed to produce that often elusive right to left draw spin.

4. Golfers often interpret a golf swing as a straight back and straight through swing when in fact the club travels on an arc around the body. Try to imagine how a footballer would take a corner kick to bend the ball right to left towards goal. They would actually approach the ball from around the corner flag, not from straight on, just as the golf club should approach the ball.
