Return to Hogan

By Wayne | Articles: The Golf Swing, Short Game and Putting

It’s not a great feeling when you know in your heart that you are overmatched, that a golf course and the conditions are too tough and that the true level of your game will not be enough to bring about a positive result, and that you will ultimately fail. I’ve had these feelings a few times in the past, almost every time at the PGA Championship after I have qualified through top 20 finishes in the National Club Pro. It is disconcerting to know that I am not good enough to compete in a major championship, but it is another…

Online Students: Phil Pfeiffer

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Hello Wayne! Greetings from Myrtle Beach. I’d like to do a video lesson.   A bit of background for you first. Overall I’m a decent player and my handicap is usually in the 1-3 range. I’ve qualified for my State Am several times and won a couple of club championships and small local amateur tournaments. However, I’ve always fought my golf swing. If I could bring my long game up to the standard of my short game I think it would allow me to reach my goal of being a true scratch.   I miss in both directions a lot…

Online Students: Scott Campbell

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

My name is Scott Campbell from Wollongong Australia and this is my submission for an online lesson. I currently play off a handicap of 6 and have been as low as 3. I have been playing golf for about 8 years now and have come from a cricket back ground. I have a flat swing, and as you will see, it is something that I have always had as a golfer. I try to swing like Ben Hogan but as you can see I am nowhere near it. With my irons I struggle with contact quite a bit and generally…

Online Students: Tyler Neff

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Watching Tyler’s swing you get the feeling that you’ve seen this before: it’s fluid and powerful, and at full speed would seem as good as any Tour player. But Tyler has not been getting the results he wants and needs to be able to make a living playing the game, and the slow motion analysis tells us why. It is a pattern that has been showcased on this website many times in the past, and both his friends (Jason Gandy and David Holmes) exhibit the exact same tendencies. It starts with the tight and straight right arm at address. As…

From the Vault: Various Swings from Wayne D’s Tape Collection

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

Knowing that he is a swing junkie like the rest of you I originally sent this to Kevin Streelman to give him something to do over the Thanksgiving holidays. After I thought about it I figured all you guys are paying to see interesting stuff, so why not just post it on the site? Most of the swings are from tournaments I was either playing in or working with someone, and the range and course shots go from the PGA at Riviera in 1995 to the Booz Allen Classic (formerly known as the Kemper Open) at TPC Avenel in Maryland.…

Lesson of the Week: Wayne D. Looks at his Own Swing (First Time in a While)

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

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…

TP&C: Brad Faxon Part 3

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

I went down to Jupiter to spend a couple days with Brad at Old Palm and we got some nice work in. I have always told Brad that given his problems with the approach being high and sometimes stuck he should strive to get the club on plane at the top (less across the line) so that he can have the shaft flatten early in transition and then steepen the rest of the way down, which will give him the chance to get the right arm straighter as he approaches impact and his hands as a result passing by closer…
