Lesson of the Week: Scott Johnson

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Scott drove down to Maryland all the way from Boston at the suggestion of Nick Antonelli, a professional that I gave a couple of lessons to in Florida last spring. As you will see in the video of Scott’s initial swings he set up with his hands extremely low and his spine angle severely bent over, then took the club back with his hands working away from him, and completed the reverse-loop pattern by dropping his hands and arms straight down behind him, hitting the ball with a radically in-to-out path. It was apparent to me right away that we…

Just Trust It?

By Wayne | Articles: The Mental Game

How many times have you heard or been told, especially after a poor shot, to “just trust it”, or “just swing the club and don’t think about it so much”? Quite a few, I’d be willing to bet. Think back on how that advice affected your next shot, or series of shots for the rest of that round. Perhaps you started hitting it better, at which point you might have come to conclusion that mindlessly swinging was the way to go, and that complicating matters with swing thoughts was detrimental to your ability to strike the ball effectively. You probably…

Online Students: Paul McCrorey

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Wayne,   “I am an engineer and I own my own 3D visualization (animation) business (http://mccroreydigital.com). I have played golf for 30ish years (I am 45). I have always had a ‘decent’ swing but have never really ‘got it done’. I want to improve my swing to the best it can be and I’d like to play in more tournaments but have a legitimate chance to compete. I can’t do that now as my swing is way too inconsistent.   I absolutely love the mechanics of the swing and love to video and look at it. I have researched the…

TP&C: Brian Urlacher

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

At 6’4 and 260 lbs. of solid muscle (no discernible body fat) Brian, future Hall of Fame linebacker for the Chicago Bears, is an imposing figure, especially in shorts and a tight golf shirt (seems like everybody looks big in a football uniform, at least on TV). The amazing thing about Brian’s golf game is that his short game is absolutely amazing. He gets it up and down like a Tour player, and that’s any shot from anywhere around the green and inside of 100 yards. I wasn’t surprised when Kevin (Streelman) told me that Brian has built substantial short…

What I Would Do with Tiger’s Swing

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

This is, of course, hypothetical, but since I’ve been asked a number of times I figured I’d do a short video on how I would approach teaching Tiger. The things I suggest here are combination of my own swing preferences with things I think have worked for Tiger in the past. I focus here on 5 items; first, setting up in a more athletic stance, taller at address with the weight distributed more toward the balls of the feet. Second, the hands and arms should have more space away from the body, and the takeaway should be straighter back and…

Swing Analysis: Tiger Woods Through the Years Part 2 of 2 (2003-2014)

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

Tiger Week continues with Part Two of “Tiger Woods Through the Years”. We pick up in 2003 where Tiger pretty much didn’t have a coach. He’d gotten away from Butch but had not yet hired Hank. Interestingly enough the swings of this short period are my favorites in a career full of great swings. I continue on with swings from the Haney period and finish up with the Foley years.   [wlvar_basicmembershipjoin]

Swing Analysis: Tiger Woods Through the Years Part 1 of 2 (1994-2002)

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

This week is a “Tiger Week” of sorts and all the videos will focus on Tiger Woods. For the last video this week on Friday I’ll answer a question I’ve been asked a number of times; “What I Would Do with Tiger’s Swing”. We’re starting the week off with part one of a two part series were I analyze Tiger’s swing from 1994 – 2014. The first video of the two covers Tiger’s swing from his college days through the end of 2002, pretty much what could be referred to as his “Harmon Years”.   [wlvar_basicmembershipjoin]
