FOUR
STEPS TO BETTER BALL-STRIKING
Back by popular demand, Gary
Edwin reveals four fundamental steps to help you play to your full
potential. Golf Australia first published Four Steps To
Better Ball- Striking” by Gary Edwin in September 2000. Since
then it has become the most requested and talked about instruction
feature this magazine has ever produced. The number of requests
– via mail, telephone, e-mail as well as through the Golf
Australia website from throughout Australia and around the
world has been staggering and runs well into the hundreds.
So it is for this reason that we again publish, by popular demand,
“Four Steps To Better Ball-Striking”. We have
updated the photos but Gary’s method remains the same –
simple and guaranteed to help your game.
