Playing for Money: The Legendary Darrell Kestner, PGA

This was a fun two hours for me as I have been playing with and against Darrell in the club professional ranks for over 20 years. He has one of few best records of any club professional in history, having won the National Championship, played in 10 PGAs, 7 Senior PGAs, I think 5 U.S. Opens, and has won numerous titles in the always tough competition of the Met Section in New York.

[Premium] Adam is a professional who plays mini-tour events and some Canadian Tour stuff. It definitely looks like he has the physical tools to have an excellent swing, and he demonstrates nice control of the shaft during the motion.

Playing for Money: Jeremy Wells Part 3

By Wayne | Videos: Playing For Money

[Premium] I have been working with and he has developed an excellent golf swing. Jeremy is very knowledgeable about swing mechanics and he knows what he needs to work on, but he relies on me to use my experience to help him get where he wants to get.

Playing for Money: David Holmes Part 3

[Premium] This is another excellent golf swing that to the eye looks like it needs no tweaking. But since the idea is to get better every day, when David comes to see me we film it, slow it down, and pick at to find things to improve.

Playing for Money: Mark Mielke Part 2

[Premium] As you know from our recent online lesson Mark is a highly accomplished club professional from New York who is no longer working in the pro shop but rather has decided to move down to Florida to see if he can play himself out onto the Champions Tour.

Playing for Money: Mark Mielke

By Wayne | Videos: Playing For Money

Mark is a long-time club professional, most recently at the Mill River Club in New York, and also happens to be a long-time friend of mine. His playing record as a club professional is as good as it gets: he’s played in 5 PGA’s, 4 U.S. Opens, won the N.Y. State Open twice and the Met Open twice. He finished 28th in the Senior PGA Championship only a year and a half ago. Mark had a banner year in 2013, then ran into technique problems and hit proverbial wall in 2014, a year in which he described his overall play…

Playing for Money: David Holmes Part 2

By Wayne | Videos: Playing For Money

This video pretty much speaks for itself. When you compare David’s swings from the initial online lesson to these it is easy to see the tremendous change in technique. Every now and then I meet someone with the ability to change quickly, and David is certainly one of these lucky folks. He was so happy to hear that what he was working on (and wasn’t working) was antithetical to my own views on how the swing should work that he took to my suggestions immediately and not only made the changes but starting hitting the ball way better right away.…

Playing for Money: Joey Latowski

By Wayne | Videos: Playing For Money

I think you will find this an interesting lesson as you watch the unique shaft progression in Joey’s swing. He starts a bit on his heels, and then moves much deeper into the heels by rocking backwards at the start of the takeaway. This leads to a radically laid off position at the top, and he is left with steepening the downswing immediately from the top. This movement leaves his right upper arm well behind his side, and as a result he can’t really get his hands far enough in front of the ball to deliver a blow with enough…

Playing for Money: Scott Neely

By Wayne | Videos: Playing For Money

Scott is a former online lesson taker who decided to fly from Dallas to Maryland to spend two days with me at Lakewood. The notes you see following this paragraph are Scott’s observations he wrote down during and after the lessons. You may be wondering why there are so many things listed, and whether or not that constitutes overkill and the dreaded “thinking too much” malady, but remember that we spent 2 full days, about 12-13 hours, hitting balls and playing a bit. Scott had the time to pick my brain about every part of the swing, and while he…

Playing For Money: David Holmes

By Wayne | Videos: Playing For Money

Wayne, Thanks for taking my call earlier. I’ll give you a rundown of my golf in the near past. I played golf at the University of Tennessee from 2006-2010. I Earned All-American honors in 2009 and had a fairly successful amateur career where my highest ranking reached 13th in the USA and 30th in the world. My ball striking was always a strong suit of my game and as soon as I became a good chipper and putter, I was able to contend in major tournaments. I turned professional in 2011 and have played three full seasons on the…
