Online Students: John Krystynak

I’m 46, and play to a 5 hcp. I’ve been a site member for about 8 months, and really benefit from the concepts and instruction on the site. My handicap is about as low as it’s ever been and my goal is to keep going lower. I play once or twice a week, and practice 3 or 4 times for about 30mins in the mornings. My ball flight tends to be a slight cut, because I tend to be steep, and have a hard time getting the club to “kick” and shallow on the transition, so the clubhead comes in…

The Future of Golf: Weston Weilminster

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

I rarely am in awe of the way a student strikes the ball. I have played with great players and now teach a great ball striker in Kevin Streelman, and I can say that at times I am in awe of how well he can hit it. But at 11 years old young Weston really had my mouth hanging open today.

Swing Analysis: Stewart Cink

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

One of the benefits of teaching a Tour player is that I am able to sneak videos of other Tour players with my Casio camera and tripod, and since it is me taking the vids, the angles are correct for a real Wayne D. analysis. Stewart, who famously beat Tom Watson to win the British Open in 2009, has seen his performance drop substantially since then, missing 10 of 20 cuts in and notching only 2 top 20’s in majors while not qualifying for a WGC event since 2011. When we look at the face on view of Stewart’s swing…

Practice Rounds at the 2015 Masters

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

Augusta is a pretty cool place, and I thought you’d like to see some of Kevin Streelman’s swings on the range and on the course, as well as a few of his practice round partners, Gary Woodland, John Senden, Steve Stricker, Robert Streb and James Hahn. By Wednesday we had dialed in what Kevin wanted to think about this week:

Playing for Money: Steven Shafer

By Wayne | Videos: Playing For Money

“I’m 25 years old and currently playing mini tour events in Florida. I’m seeking your help because I’ve learned that my ball striking really needs to improve to compete at the next level.” – Here we have a classic case of what happens when the upper right arm gets left “up and back”: it’s not pretty. The three major things I would like Steven to do in his swing are:
