Cody is a high level amateur player who has taken a good deal of time off from the game and who would like to get back into serious competition. As you will see he has a wonderfully athletic move with great rhythm and sequence, and a sidearm throwing motion that I would love a lot of my better students to emulate.

Derek decided to take a trip down to South Florida to see me face to face (who can blame him? It’s 80 in Florida and 10 in Illinois) and I thought the 3 hours were very productive. The best thing about in person lessons is that I have the ability to put my hands on the student to get them to feel what I would like them to try.

[Premium] I first saw Dylan 3 years ago down in Florida when I was working with Gary Hallberg, and he has now completed his college career at Presbyterian and is looking forward to playing high level amateur golf.

Here it is the middle of November and I haven’t played a competitive round since May due to ongoing back issues. I am scheduled for surgery December 9th to open up space for the nerves on the sides of the two discs above my fusion, but oddly enough it has been feeling a bit better lately so I have been playing some and hitting a few balls. I figured I might as well film it and check it out in order to have something to compare my post- surgery swing to, so I took a couple of 6 iron shots…

Scott drove down to Maryland all the way from Boston at the suggestion of Nick Antonelli, a professional that I gave a couple of lessons to in Florida last spring. As you will see in the video of Scott’s initial swings he set up with his hands extremely low and his spine angle severely bent over, then took the club back with his hands working away from him, and completed the reverse-loop pattern by dropping his hands and arms straight down behind him, hitting the ball with a radically in-to-out path. It was apparent to me right away that we…

Yoshi traveled all the way from Japan for some in-person work with me. Amazingly enough I’ve had a few local students say it’s too far for them to drive to my new location which is only a few minutes away from where I was teaching. If you haven’t watched it take a look at his online lesson that was posted Wednesday. As you’ll see in this video some people have a bit more of a struggle than others when making swing changes. Yoshi was up to the challenge and by working hard he made some nice progress during our time…

I did a good job of filming the progression of what I worked on with Jonathan so I think you will find this lesson interesting. The neat thing is how he responded to the analysis and incorporated my ideas almost immediately. Jonathan has an athletic, aggressive move but the fairly sizable lower body slide in the backswing was derailing any opportunity for him to get his upper and lower body to synch up, eventually causing him to back his head away from the ball and pull backwards at impact. As you will see as his swing progresses through the lesson…

Don is now almost fully recovered from being sick for a while, and thought it would be a good time to come out to see me since he had joined the website and loved the content. He thought he might have lost some strength since he was not hitting the ball with much force, but I saw right away that his pivot was aggressive and that he had the ability to move the club fast enough to hit the ball a long way. I figured there was a serious technique issue involved, and I could pretty much pick out the…

Marty, a former congressman from Chicago and now a prominent Washington lobbyist, can still play some solid golf in his mid- 60’s. He has a tendency to miss-hit his iron shots (mostly thin) and would like to be able to compress the ball and to take a consistent divot in front of the ball (who wouldn’t).

This is an essential lesson to watch. Lee is an intermediate player and this lesson is a great example of a number of issues that I regularly address.
