Golf jump drill: drive arms down as you jump up

The instructor teaches a jump drill that reverses the natural pattern. Normally when you squat your arms go down and when you jump they go up; here you do the opposite - as you squat the arms come up, and as you jump the arms drive down. He then has you connect the hands together like a golfer, put the hands over the right shoulder as you squat, and drive the arms down as you jump. He calls it the golf jump.
