Steve is an excellent player (you can see that by his swing) and has qualified for multiple U.S. Senior Amateurs. He has been a student of mine for over 5 years, although I only see him a couple times a year as he lives in Kentucky and his Florida residence is on the other side […]

Amelie is a 16-year-old sophomore playing for her high school golf team and hoping to improve enough to earn a golf scholarship to college. I first noticed her practicing diligently on the range at Osprey Point where I teach, and noted to a friend that she evidenced an issue that I see constantly with juniors […]

It’s amazing how many good things an improvement in posture can open up for any level player. Michael is a pretty good stick, about a 5 handicap, but like most golfers is plagued by inconsistent ball striking, especially with his irons. With his upper back in extreme flexion (you can feel this by dropping your […]

Conrad has gotten to a decent level as a competitive junior and is looking to up his game by improving his ball striking. He is accurate but not long, and his iron play can be erratic with mishits and shots that spin up and are affected by the wind. In the video you will see […]

You probably read the title to this video and chuckled. “No kidding, years of unwanted swing patterns you say…join the club”. Sam, however, has quite the interesting background when it comes to golf, having played in college and tried the mini tours afterwards, only to find that he could not shoot the kind of scores […]

I’ve been watching a few videos online that claim to offer the “best” swing technique for senior golfers (even though the instructors offering the advice are anything but senior) but I think you’ll see here that golfers who are getting up in years (I’m 62, so I qualify for that category) like Dick can still […]

John is a high single digit handicapper who has enough good things going on in his swing that he could certainly get himself down to the low single digits. His problem (whose isn’t) is the erratic nature of his ball striking, and right away I saw a strong, fluid athletic motion hampered by a lack […]

John is a decent player who could be much better. He has advanced about as far as he can with the swing he showed up with, and as you will see there are many issues to deal with, too many to tackle all at once. John is serious about his game as evidenced by the […]

Peter had a nice summer of competition and in this lesson, we continue to try to improve his ball striking by simplifying some important elements of his swing. Peter’s main issue has been the odd hook that occurs less frequently now but still pops up at inopportune times. I see him getting his right arm […]
