England’s Justin Rose is one of the biggest supporters of other golfers in the world right now.
He supports junior golf with the Justin Rose Telegraph Junior Golf Championship.
When golfers on the Ladies European Tour had no place to play during the pandemic he and his wife Kate created the Rose Ladies Series – and their support continues today with the Rose Ladies Open featuring a huge prize pool in the second tier of the LET Access Series.
Rose even played the role of older brother to Robert MacIntyre during the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome.
And the 2013 US Open winner can help your game.
In this video he explains the secret behind his famous pre-shot contortions on and off the course.
He says: “It’s an exercise I usually do. “I practice the feeling I want to do.
“Now that sounds like I’m holding the club back.
“But the reason I do it is I’m trying to build the feeling and the feeling in my body that I need to hit the golf ball.
“I don’t want the club to be here during delivery, that’s far from me.
“But as soon as I bring a spin to what is intended to play this sound becomes what brings the impact.”
At this point Rose shows both what he has achieved and the danger of not pursuing that position.
“It’s like surfing,” he explains. “When the boat overturns, the water skier is thrown out. I am a boater and a club water skier.
“So basically, as you swing to the left, the centrifugal force tends to throw the club away so I try to put the club in a position where I can swing and that club gets a free ride
“It looks like a technical mistake but I’m not really looking at the places.
“I’m just trying to create a feeling and most of that feeling is that I stay on my right leg, on my right hip, because one of my mistakes is that I go to the left side too early, and the clubs are too much in front of me.
“So by sitting here, I let my left arm fall as I remain closed. By remaining closed, I mean that I have turned my back on this point.”
He reminds us: “I won’t be in this situation, but the feeling is there and as soon as I put the speed on, and turn, everything will be a good delivery to hit the right shot.
“Feeling and being real are two completely different things.”
He shows again.
“Here are my feelings … and here are the real me.”
