Eyes-Closed Swings
Why this drill
Sight is the noisiest sense in the swing, and it drowns out the one that matters: feel. A handful of no-ball swings with eyes closed reveals where the club actually is — most players are shocked — and sharpens the internal map that pressure can't erase.
Setup
A mid iron and safe swinging room. No balls until the final third. Feet set before the eyes close.
The drill
Eight full swings, eyes closed: after each, before opening them, name one thing you felt — where the weight was at the top, when the wrists released, which foot the finish landed on. Open, reset, repeat. The narration is the drill; vague swings produce vague golf. Then five balls off a tee with eyes open but attention kept on the same felt checkpoints rather than the ball. Contact usually improves precisely because you stopped supervising it.
One thought to take with you
If you can't feel it, you can't repeat it.
