Just a note of thanks for the "back of the divot/front of the divot" drill from COFF. I've been practicing that drill at the range and I've noticed two things. 1. I have much more rhythm starting the swing and taking the club back... a lagging clubhead just seems to happen automatically. 2. My contact is much more solid. I'm hitting the ball better off of range hardpan and divots than I was off perfect lies on the course last summer.
My question....I see many golfers at the range who have no wrist/elbow hinge when they swing. I think many of them just haven't developed that instinct from throwing balls in other sports (eg...passing a football or serving a tennis ball), so they "stiff arm" the backswing and do the same on the forward swing.
What's the best way to help these people develop a more athletic motion?
