The P.A.T. Project: Student Lesson: CJ D’Arco Part 1

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

This should really be an interesting series of lessons so I encourage you to watch the progression. CJ needs to pass his Player Ability Test (PAT) in order to continue his quest to become a Class-A PGA Professional. The scoring requirement does not seem that daunting (the needed score is around 156 or so) unless you are not that good and you don’t play in tournaments because of that very fact. Now, you might ask why someone who wasn’t a good golfer would want to be a PGA Professional, and it would be a good question. Actually, a better question…

Student Lesson: Zach Verses Part 2

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

I’ve been working with Zach for some time and we thought we were getting some good progression with his swing, but as he got closer to the time he was going to get back to competing he began to regress a bit and return to some of his old habits. Zach is tremendously strong and flexible and produces a lot of power for a smallish frame. His main problem is control, and we have concentrated on getting the shaft not to cross at the top in order to simplify his downswing and improve his approach to impact. He produces a…

Student Lesson: Jared Kenworthy

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Jared has been a member of the web site for a while now and has created a nice series of videos that he posted in the forum documenting all the hard work he’s done on his swing, check them out if you haven’t seen them yet. Jared used the information on this site, a few online lessons, a lot of motivation, some self-analysis and plain old hard work to build himself a very nice swing. In this video Jared actually made the trip out from Kansas for business and decided to drop by Woodmont for an in-person lesson, which was…

Student Lesson: Justin Duffie Part 2

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Justin has been working with me for around 2 years now and is the most improved player I teach on a regular basis. He was a 13 when he came to me and with his swing as it was he was short-gaming it to shoot around that. He is now a 5 and hits the ball so much better it is pretty astounding. His swing technique has improved consistently (not that I haven’t had to talk him down from the ledge a couple of times) and here you will see us working on another major aspect of his swing in…

Student Lesson: Jessica Fernandez

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

One of my very best friends likes to “gift” me a subscription to “Golf Tips Magazine” every year as a joke, since we both have a great time going over some of the instructional articles found inside. I recently read one that “exposed” certain “Myths” in the game, one of which was the supposed myth that impact was the “moment of truth” in the swing. The point was not that impact was not important, but that it was really everything that led up to that point that created whatever that impact was. Now, I can see that as an argument,…

Student Lesson: The Meyers Sisters

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

When I saw these three young ladies on the range at my club I immediately went over to their father and told him that I would love to teach them. He was a bit overwhelmed with trying to help them himself so he thought that was a good idea, and the swings you see on this video are the product of about 2 hours of instruction apiece. I think you will be as amazed as I was to see these swings, especially when you consider that they have never played more than a couple of holes on the golf course.…

Student Lesson: Mark Long

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Mark has a ton of experience with great players as he has been a Tour caddy for over 20 years. He has seen them all and been right next to most of them, but as you can see his swing does not reflect what he knows he would like to do. The big problem areas have been the same for years: his backswing gets vertical and lifted, while his downswing gets majorly steep and exits way out to the right. I had a feeling that the stuff I was working on and teaching in my day to day lessons and…
