Peter is a fellow PGA professional who played the South American tour (Tour De Las Americas) for 5 years and Golden Bear Tour (Mini Tour) 5 years 1997-2001. We’ve been following Peter as his swing progresses over a number of lessons and we continue with a composite of four short lessons. Peter is a talented player with a good swing and we’ve been working on the details to make it even better.

This lesson is a composite of four short lessons. In the first video Pete’s left knee is moving too far down and in I’d like it more stable so it can get out of the way sooner. Also the left wrist is cupped too long approaching impact. The next lesson we move on to the shoulders being a bit too flat so I’m looking for a bit more tilt here.

Peter is a fellow PGA professional who played the South American tour (Tour De Las Americas) for 5 years and Golden Bear Tour (Mini Tour) 5 years 1997-2001. In this lesson I’d like to see a stronger right hand grip with Peter rotating the face of the club more open in the backswing with the palms and clubface more on plane. I want to see the right shoulder externally rotating a bit faster helping keep the right arm from going behind and causing the crossed position at the top.

We start this lesson with an idea and to get that idea across I use a face-on driver swing of Ben Hogan as an example of what I want Peter to try and do. Peter’s right hip is returning to where it started causing a lift in transition. I want him to keep his right hip deep and drive it forward towards the target like the Hogan example including the snapping the left leg behind.

Peter’s swing is looking better and better. In the first part of this video his left leg is staying bent too long in the forward swing. During the downswing, at left arm 45˚, I want to see the left leg moving out of the way and for Peter it should feel like it’s pulling behind him. Peter’s right arm is driving his left arm out too much and off his chest causing his hands to approach impact higher than I’d like. To improve on this I want his hands to move out from the top but instead of continuing…

Peter is a fellow PGA professional who played the South American tour (Tour De Las Americas) for 5 years and Golden Bear Tour (Mini Tour) 5 years 1997-2001. Peter’s swing is looking better and better, he’s putting in the work and it’s definitely showing. His approach isn’t coming from a stuck position and the face-on view is showing an improved look through the impact area.

Peter has good athletic motion and here we’re starting right off with the takeaway and the difference in right load from the rehearsal to the real swing. Peter’s rehearsal is good and stable with nice hand and arm width while his regular swing starts with a slide off the ball and much less width. Now I do like to see some right load but I want to see it as a result of the width and not in an effort to create the width.

So far in our series of lessons this is the best face-on video I’ve seen from Peter. There’s space under the right arm in the take away, he’s staying down in transition, there’s a good amount of lateral drive and the approach width is good for the driver, very nice improvement from the face-on view. The down-the-line view is where we start so see some issues.

This video covers two short lessons. Peter’s swings are looking good in both. In the first video Peter’s hands are working much better out at the ball in transition but I’m seeing that pattern often seen on this site of the hips moving out towards the ball, causing the head to back up and losing angle in a players posture. I want to see Peter do the opposite and increase his angle in the downswing.

This lesson is actually a compilation of three short lessons. The first part Peter has freed up his leg movement in the backswing which I like but his head is a bit left of center and the forward hip drive is a bit too forward and not enough around. The next section the face-on view is looking really nice.
