Philosophy
My teaching philosophy is
simple:
There is no one
way to swing the golf club. In order to hit consistent solid shots, the golf
swing must produce the following result -
-
A club face
that is traveling on the proper path.
-
Club face
square to the target.
-
Ball contact
in the center of the Club face.
-
The Club Head
approaching the ball at the proper descent.
If this sounds
simple, IT IS.!!!
If you have watched any golf on
television, you have probably noticed that each Tour Player has what appears to
be a unique golf swing. For a moment, try to visualize the swings of the
following Great Players: Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, Sam Snead,
Tom Watson, Ernie Els, Fred Couples, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino and LPGA
superstars like Annika Sorenstam and Nancy Lopez. The list could go on and on.
The point is, each player on tour
has his/her unique golf swing that produces repeatable solid golf shots and good
playable miss hits. To be a top level player, one must "Own" his/her
golf swing and be able to reproduce the golf swing under the most stressful
situations.
Many "Good" instructors
teach the fundamentals of
grip, stance, posture, plane. While these things are not unimportant, they are
all Preferences, (Yes I said Preferences) in ones attempt to return the club
face squarely back to the golf ball.
A great example of a preference is
the Grip. Tour Players grip the club from very weak to extremely strong. Most
grip it more in the fingers while some grip it more in the palm. If the way we
grip the club is a "fundamental"
how can so many players be at the top of the games with such different
grips?
If you would like to build a lasting, reproducing golf swing that works for you WHEN THE PRESSURE IS
ON!!!
I can Help You!!!
