Brush The Grass Swing Drill

- Brush the grass swing drill. This simple brush the grass swing drill is a great way to improve your ball striking without a change to your golf swing. Just introducing this small mind shift into your practice swing will be enough to improve your ball striking. We see the best players in the world do this on every shot but it is so simple we miss it. Just brush the grass and watch how much better you hit the golf ball.

My name is Brian Fitzgerald - I'm an Australian full time golf coach living in Melbourne and coaching at two venues. The Morack Public GC in Vermont South and the Lang Lang GC in beautiful South Gippsland (An hour and a quarter from Melbourne) where there are lot's of Kangaroos.
FAQ:
How long have you been a golf coach? I qualified as a full member of the Australian PGA back in 1985. Wow I don't feel that old.
Why do you make videos for UA-cam? That is a great question and one I get asked a lot. I love helping people play better golf and people tell me I have a very unique coaching style that is very simple to understand. We really should do things simpler. I just make them to help people and if people like my videos they can either come for a golf lesson in person or if that is not possible you could join my membership program and I can then view your golf swing or any part of your game and really help improve what you do.
Do you always change some ones golf swing? To be perfectly honest I try not to. If I do try to change some ones golf swing I have to have a pretty good reason for doing so and the client has to be fully engaged and committed to both regular coaching and practice in order to make that change. Most people say they will do both with good intentions but most fall away pretty quickly.
So my preference is to change things that will improve their score easily. There are so many different ways to do this.
What do you film with? - I have a few few different cameras I use. An old GoPro Hero 4, an iPhone 6 and iPhone X, A Sony ZV1 and an old Panasonic Handy cam (I'm using that less and less now). I record my sound on an old iPhone 4.
What do you edit with? - About a year ago I switched to Adobe Premiere - prior to that it was Pinnacle Studio
Do you make money off UA-cam? - Yes.It took me over 100 videos to make my first total $100 off adsense and then another 50 videos to make my next $100. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.
I really enjoy your videos, how can I support you? - Here's my ko-fi where you can buy me a coffee, beer or a burger should you wish (kind of like giving me a tip via : ko-fi.com/theg...
Thanks for watching!

Hi Brian…Johnny Miller was a huge advocate of this , he called it the brush- brush drill. He said if you weren’t doing this, you didn’t want to hit a good shot. Great advice .M.
Really useful thank you.
Glad you liked it Rosalind.
Brian
This is definitely super important. I learned this a little while back. I especially do it when I have a strange lie around the green to get a feel for the shot.
I agree totally Oliver.
I am glad you have learned the lesson and incorporated it into your golf game.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Brian
Great advice as usual Brian
Thanks David.
I am thrilled you think so.
Brian
this is super helpful!! I'm golfing on a course for the 1st time on Friday so this will help me out a bunch!
That’s so exciting Erikah. Just enjoy yourself and don’t worry about score jus have fun.
It’s a great thing to implement into your pre shot routine but only do it twice. Any more and you will be very slow.
Thanks for watching.
I’d love to
Know how your round goes.
Brian
Great advice Brian! In over 30 years of golf I don’t recall ever seeing a first class golfer not brush the grass with their practice swing.
Thanks Ian.
Neither have I.
You are right on the mark.
Brian
Great video, Doc
Thanks Keith.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Brian
Hello Doc. I’ve added this to my pre-shot routine and it absolutely makes a difference to getting better contact. You made a quick reference to “one length clubs” - I bought a set of OL Cobra SZ irons in December and whilst I get they aren’t for everybody, I have really found them to be great to play. Down the rabbit hole I went!
I’m glad it is working well for you and good on you for having the courage to
Implement it.
I’m glad you have found the single length clubs to your liking.
They either work or they don’t.
It sounds like they work for you.
Thanks for the update.
I've been doing this since watching the short, definitely topping it less, especially on 1st hole when going from a driver to a wedge/ short iron. Thanks for another great tip!
Brilliant Adi.
I’m am glad but not surprised at your improvement.
Thanks for the update.
Keep on strumming.
Brian
Excellent video, practical and solid advice.
Thanks Phil.
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
Brian
Thanks Brian - I was looking through some of your older tips and found this one. I must do it!
It is a good one to implement.
It was great waving to you the other day. Sorry I couldn’t stop and chat the other day.
I had a few in a row and I don’t like running late.
I’ll catch you when it’s quieter one of these days.
No worries thanks Brian, we probably shouldn't have interrupted you! The lady was hitting them well we thought.
Always Happy to day high.
You are a good judges.
Brian
Genius
Thank you.
Brian
Super advice thank you
You are welcome Angie.
It is so easy to do. We just have to remember to do it.
Brian
Personally I like to use my clubs as brooms that I use to sweep the ball off the ground with my right hand sending it to any spot I like. Years ago I told my child to do this and if it’s good enough for him it’s good enough for me
That sounds like pretty good advice. It is basically what I tries to say in this video.
Well done for implementing it into your game and you are seeing the results.
Thanks for the update.
Brian
This is such a great tip! Practicing on matts often made me not confident with getting a good contact on the grass. I end up topping it a lot on the grass. I was also embarrassed to go full practice swing in my pre shot routine which would take off a chunk of divot before I even made the real shot. I ended up practice swinging a few full swings NOT hitting the grass and then proceed to topping the ball! 😂
I’m glad my video was able to help you.
Just have a slower shorter practice swing and brush the grass and you will be fine.
Thanks for watching.
Brian.
Great advice, I will implement to my pre swing routine
Thanks Robert.
If you get a chance let me know how it is going after a couple of rounds.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
@@fitzygolfpro I will do
I look forward to hearing about it.
Great Advice Brian. Enjoyed the video. Something to incorporate into my pre swing routine. I currently don't take practice Swings.
Cheers
Joe
Oh no Joe. No reactive swings…..
You will benefit from implementing this straight away.
The sun is out today too.
Thanks for watching.
@@fitzygolfpro You are welcome and keep up the great videos. After your great explanation, I will definitely incorporate the brush the grass drill.
it can only do that if there is no tension in your arms
Absolutely. But the purpose of this video is to promote self discovery from the task. Looks like you achieved that.
Happy new year.
Brian
Great tip Brian! I don't know how I missed this one! I probably violate this recommendation and do suffer the consequences! Rather than a U shaped swing, I get the V shape swing instead and a chunked shot. Always great recommendations Brian and ones that should be heeded!
As simple as this tip is I think it is the most import tip I have made.
I just don't see too many golfers doing it. Yet I see (and hear) the best players doing it all of the time.
Lots of other people have missed it to as it hardly has any views.
Have some fun working at it John.
Brian
@@fitzygolfpro At least you have one dedicated follower Brian! :-) Your putting tip has really paid off for me! A second in last weeks club tournament. Same score as my opponent, but he had a higher handicap in my flight, so I had a net 72 as opposed to his 70 net.
Fantastic news John.
Keep up the great work.
Greetings from the USA! Thanks Brian I like this tip. Any tips or videos for a pre shot routine for the Driver?
Great to hear from you Alex.
I made a video a little while back with performance psychologist Ashley Clinch about developing a Pre Shot Routine (PSR).
While not specifically about the driver most good players go through the same PSR with every shot from putting all the way to driving.
I have included a link to the video below.

Let me know how it goes.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Like this one Brian it will help me no end, particularly because of the impaired vision I currently have .Can rely on sound and feel more Was going reply in the morning ,its 3am and I cannot sleep too hot. But have an early train ride to the hospital
Stay safe and thanks
I am surprised to hear from you this late.
You are right it does take on extra importance. Sound is critical.
Start counting the roos David.
I hope all goes well at the hospital.
I am about to go wine tasting with my son. Might as well make use of our 25km travel radius.
We are lucky to have so many options here.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Brian
Brian: should it be a full swing, or will a smaller swing, as you demonstrated, do the trick?
It can be either Bob.
It is what you normally do. If you are not sure. Experiment with both full and shorter and see what works.
I always use the shorter version as it is what works for me the best. I have been doing it as part of my pre shot routine for the past 40 years.
The most important thing is to get that sweeping sensation and noise.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
I will try this out this weekend. One thing which I am still struggling is the position and grip strength of my left hand, I feel like I am holding the grip too firmly and I miss the flexibility in my left wrist.
Let me know how it goes for you.
Your left wrist needs to flex through and beyond impact. It can't of there is too much tension in there.
Grab a frisbee in your left hand and throw it. You will notice the wrist naturally flexes and that it is pretty relaxed as you do so.
This should be the same feel through impact.
Brian
@@fitzygolfpro so the movement at impact should be similar as a frisbee throwing movement where the hand snaps over the wrist? Wow, this might be the biggest mistake I've been doing previously, I always thought that it shouldn't happen. I'll try it out today!
I use SL irons and I still need to do this. It helps get my feet to ball distance sorted . From the rabbit hole, the major benefits of SL irons are 1) it gives you a broader width of distances out from the hole that your swing is the same, rather than a narrow favourite club distance. 2) you save time practising your iron shots. they are all the same.
If they work for you that is great Kym.
Thank you. But I can't seem to brush the grass consistently in pre shot routine. If I take 2 or 3 practice swings sometimes I brush sometimes I don't and I'm above (no contact). Not sure what I'm doing wrong when I don't brush. :(
Usually this means you are not hitting slightly downwards through impact.
I made a video earlier in the week that might help you @Mig

Let me know how it goes.
Brian
Excellent tip Fitzy! Reminds me of what Johnny Miller spoke about: ua-cam.com/video/lVhWONqhUi4/v-deo.html
I haven't seen that one before.
Good advice.
Brian
