Kevin, A.J. and I are really excited about the coming PGA Tour season, and when you watch these swings I think you will see why. His swing keeps improving, and this week we really made a big positive difference by focusing on…

As you will see right away in this video Andrew has an excellent swing that to the eye at full speed appears to need no adjusting. Especially good is his pivot motion, which uses the ground quite well and exhibits the upper/lower separation that everyone is looking for. My suggestions here are based on my own preferences for arm position in the setup and right arm action during the swing.

Almost everything I have ever read regarding the subject of golf lessons has focused on the instructor. But there is another side of the coin. Just as there are varying levels of instructors, there is the same variation when it comes to students. And being a better or worse student has nothing to do with achieving good results, or being able to accomplish what the teacher is trying to get them to do.

This is one of the stranger swings I’ve analyzed because the backswing is almost perfect. You would think that the rest of it would be cake; however, this case proves that nothing is automatic when it comes to hitting a golf ball. People ask me all the time “if I do this will it make that automatic”? I always answer “no”, nothing is guaranteed if you do the thing before it correctly”.

Here I come back to an idea I first had over 20 years ago watching Hogan films. I use video analysis of Mr. Hogan and myself to teach you the concepts and actions of this move.

I know I have a lot more to work on but, I will say my iron ballstriking has been incredible. Everything up to my 2 iron is very accurate and long. My scores in the trackman test center have never been so high. My path and face have never been so close to zero (they used to both be very +) and my VSP is so much lower.

If you want to talk about “natural” swings you have to start with Jimmy Bruen. I compare the swing to Eamon Darcy and Jim Furyk, but the more I think about it I see it as a less conventional Fred Couples, where the club floats to the top any old way then is led down by the body with a side arm throwing motion right out of Hogan.

Parker has made tremendous progress with his swing, as shown in the side by side of the older iron swing with the new and improved one. He is still at odds with his left arm lifting as he moves into transition, and here I show him how he has to move if he continues to pinch his right arm in front of him in the backswing.

This is a pretty involved lesson so I will leave it up to you to watch and decipher it. Mark does indeed have a good swing, and I can see where teachers who aren’t technique oriented would see it as more than adequate and that Mark’s issues must be mental.

So there’s good news and bad news: the bad news is that I played poorly for 28 holes, making 3 doubles and a quad, and then played the last 8 holes 2 under. My putting was adequate, my short game spectacular, my ball striking horrendous.
