Whitney Johns Golf

It’s a beautiful saturday for some short game practice!!

A few weeks ago, the Farmers Insurance Open was in town at Torrey Pines, and we got to take our kiddos to a Youth Clinic hosted by Rickie Fowler, Ben Crane, and others! What a treat for them!

The LPGA Kia Classic was in town, and we had a blast watching some pros and participating in a youth clinic at Aviara Golf Club!

Lauren is 8 years old, and she is having so much fun learning the game of golf. She loves to play with her friends, and she especially loves doing cartwheels in the fairway. We’ve been working on solid ball contact and a more powerful swing speed!

My friends, Paige & Anabella, love going to the golf course together! Lately, we've been working on short game technique and increasing swing speed on full swings. Can you tell we're having fun?? Golf is a game for life where you can also meet friends for life!

Bella and I had the opportunity to play in The Links at Petco Park by Callaway! Such a fun experience playing 9 different shots from the Padres stadium seats! Don't take golf TOO seriously... after all, it's just a game. #LinksatPetco #SanDiegoGolf #Padres #SanDiego

This is a simple yet effective drill! Today, Gwen and I worked on BALANCE. Something we noticed in her swing is that she was on her toes at impact. Having this ball behind her while taking slow practice swings helps her to feel how her weight should be evenly distributed in her feet. If she comes up on her toes, the ball falls. Simple! And we had some good laughs while she was figuring it out!

This is my new friend, Gwen! She's a beginner, and she is making awesome improvement every week! The black shirt is the first time we worked together. The white shirt is our second lesson together. Look how much her posture improved!!!! Good posture is key to a good golf shot. Gwen is a natural athlete, and she's having fun learning this game!

Mercy is a middle schooler who is trying out golf for the first time ever! Her first time out on the course, she made a par on her first hole! We are both excited to work together as she learns and improves her game, having fun doing it!

Bella had her first ever hole-in-one during our round today!

Golf is a game for everyone!! We had a blast this morning working on these ladies' swings! By the end of the morning, they were both hitting the ball higher and straighter, and having fun doing it. Keep up the good work ladies!
