Every now and then I like to post a video of a young student who has taken lessons over a number of years. Ethan started with me when he was 11, and although he was a good athlete and liked the game he could barely hit the ball. I could see that he had the coordination and sequential movement necessary to develop a good swing, and over the 2 + years he has come for lessons (not that often as he is a stud basketball player) you can see not only substantial physical growth (he must be 10 inches taller now) but a swing technique that has progressed to the point where he is ready to really start hitting the ball well and playing competitively. He is still profoundly skinny, but can already drive the ball 240 yards. When he begins to attain the size of his dad (6’4”, 215 lbs.) there is no telling how far he will be able to hit it. Beyond hitting it far it is obvious that he has the aptitude and interest in swing technique, which is not always the case in young golfers. I am excited for Ethan’s growth as a player and we will keep an eye on him in the future.
