If you really want to improve your overall golf game, look at what the good players do. I like to look for common denominators. If there is something that most of the good players do, then that is something you want to incorporate into your golf game. If there is something that none of them do, then that is something you want to stay away from. Luke Donald and Lee Westwood are both former #1’s globally, and Danny Willett recently won the Masters. So, pretty good players to emulate. Mark Crossfield breaks down the swings of these 3 players and reveals the common denominators that made them great!

Danny Willett is already a star on the European Tour, and I’m pretty sure it won’t be long before he makes his presence known on the PGA Tour and in major Championships. His pedigree is impressive. #1 amateur in the world in 2008, Walker Cup member, and 3-time winner of the European Tour. He came close in the British Open this year, so look out for this young man in 2016! This is a great swing sequence that amateurs can really learn from. Thanks to Roger Schiffman of Golf Digest for the captions, and thanks to Dom Furore for the great pictures!
Danny Willett doesn’t always go out of his way to make you feel comfortable, and that might be why he’s such a tough competitor.
As his teacher, Mike Walker, says, “He was the No. 1 amateur in the world in 2008, so he expects a lot of himself. He’s not unfriendly. He’s single-minded.”
A 2007 Walker Cup standout from England, Willett had to learn patience as a pro. It wasn’t until 2012 that he captured the BMW International, the first of his three European Tour titles. Since then, he has put himself in position on Sunday many times. He won the Omega European Masters in July, and a week earlier, he found himself one stroke out of the 36-hole lead at the British Open at St. Andrews, and wound up finishing T-6, his best showing in a major.
As Willett refines his swing, mainly working to eliminate the miss to the left, look for great things. “He’s become a much better putter this year,” according to Walker, who says he gives Willett drills that would help the average golfer, including hitting balls with only the right or left arm. “They magnify the problem so we know what to work on,” Walker says.
