John is the father of one of website member Mark Smith’s good friends, and Mark was nice enough to purchase an online lesson for him. John plays to an 11 handicap now at age 70, but was a 7 a few years back before undergoing serious back surgery. Some of what we see here is certainly the result of the balky back, but there are things we can do to improve the movement and give John a chance to get back some of the strokes he has lost.
