About the Golf Swing

"It don't mean a thing if ya ain't got that swing"

Can I teach you how to swing the golf club?

Nope.  I don't teach swings. I teach swing dynamics.  I teach how the proper use of a golfers tools (ball, club, and body) combine to form a consistent, effective golf swing.  If you can adapt these fundamentals to your personal style, you can teach yourself how to play this wonderful game.  Your natural ability could be harboring the perfect mechanics of a golf swing. Can you discover, nurture, and perfect it on your own?

Not likely! Remember, even Tiger, perched in his high chair in the garage, had to watch his dad's swing before trying it out for himself.  The proper golf swing is not natural.  It doesn't even feel the way you think it should.  Also, the gap between what you feel you are doing and what you are actually doing can be vast.

This is where a golf coach/teacher comes in. especially when you are learning the fundamentals for each of a golfers three tools. 

A teacher will be your third eye and second brain.  Using the fundamentals as a guide, a teacher can not only give you insights into aspects of your swing, but suggest how you can modify it to improve the results.  Then you'll be able to apply this feedback to your swing on your own.

The fundamentals of the golf swing are universal.  All golfers who swing a club well have them in place, regardless if they're aware of it.  What can be confusing is that the swing can look different from golfer to golfer.  The golf swings of Jim Furyk, Kenny Perry and Ernie Els may look different.  But they all incorporate the same fundamentals – the ones I can help you observe, learn and adapt to your own game.
