For the right handed player, using a shovel take a nice big scoop of snow and put it at the right side of your body. In this stance you will notice how you are using your right leg&right foot as great support for holding the pile of snow with a shovel. For your hip turn in the backswing, the centeredness of the backswing and to feel how you toss the club into motion in the backswing, toss the snow over your shoulder into the target. At the top of your swing, you have to stop the shovel so that the snow could continue and you will notice the centeredness of your body and being inside of your right foot. Your body had to turn to redirect the energy towards the target. By doing this drill will help you center the backswing and will get a great sense of your whole body turning together.

For those of you who have a hard time maintaining the flex in your right leg in the back swing, when you get a heavy amount of snow in the shovel and you are trying to toss it into the target you need to support the motion and just slightly straighten your flexed right knee.
