Online Students: Tim Maclaughlan

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

This is a powerful individual with a nice flowing swing and plenty of trunk mobility who could greatly benefit from better use of the pivot and better right arm technique. Tim doesn’t gain much depth in the backswing, preferring to maintain his height and keep his right leg pretty much in the same place at the top as it was at address, and the lack of the use of the ground shows up in the transition and forward swing as he separates his knees in the start down and narrows his arms with the shaft moving steeper in the initial…

Not Just another Day in the Life

By Wayne | blog

Sunday June 22 was a truly crazy day. I had been in Myrtle Beach since I drove down from DC Thursday afternoon, and had played a nice practice round on Friday at the Grande Dunes course. Saturday morning was the Sponsor Pro-Am, and I teed it up at 8:15 feeling OK, but a little dicey after the warm-up. The last 3 months had been off and on with what I thought were hip problems, as the pain that I felt in the mornings was located in the right hip and glute area, and at one point it got bad enough…

TP&C: Kevin Streelman

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

I had already been working with Kevin a bit online and when he missed the cut at the Open he called me to see if I had some time on the weekend. I did, and we spent the afternoon both Saturday and Sunday going over some new stuff. In addition to the swing stuff you see here we also went over his pitching technique and his putting. He had a tendency to pull his left arm behind him when he hit short to medium pitches, and liked the feeling of driving the right arm and wrist more forward through the…

Online Students: Jason Margetts

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Jason is working hard on his technique, and states in his email that the faster he swings the worse he hits it, which is a problem when you take note of how slow his swing is in general when he hits the ball. It is important for Jason to overcome this and thus he needs to get out the metronome and work on putting whatever ideas he has for the swing into a 3:1 rhythm. Many times this helps sort out which thoughts are useful on the course and what combinations will work. Along with the tempo work Jason can…

Progress Report: Wayne D. Heads to the 2014 PNC

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

It’s been 13 years since I won the CPC (now known as the PGA PNC) and I haven’t made the cut since 2007 or something like that, so each year I try to prepare knowing that I am on the downside of my playing career but still eager to put what I know about the swing into action on the course. I have some hope this year as I have had some decent results early (mostly due to short game and putting) but also because I have been working out diligently and am in the best shape and feeling stronger…

Online Students: Jim Lungstrom

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Ryan Lungstrom sent in his father’s (Jim’s) swings for an online lesson as a Father’s Day gift. I always tell people that it is very humbling to be given as a gift, so thank you Ryan. Here is Ryan’s email to me explaining his dad’s predicament: Wayne- These swings were recently shot of my Dad, Jim Lungstrom. Jim is 57 years old and been golfing for around 30 years. His usga index is currently 11.9. Jim takes pretty good care of his body and is pretty athletic for his age. He can play well at times but is prone to…

Online Students: Connor Thompson

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Here is another powerful looking swing from a young player, Connor Thomson. Hey Wayne, I’m 18 years old and have been playing golf for 7 years now. Being a good athlete I picked up the game pretty quickly and began winning local tournaments within the first couple of years. By 15 I dropped to a 2 handicap and started playing fairly well, but within the last few years I have reached a plateau with my game bouncing around between a +1 to 1 handicap. Ball striking and driving have been the weakest part of my game and it has led…

Lesson of the Week: Don Tutt

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Don is now almost fully recovered from being sick for a while, and thought it would be a good time to come out to see me since he had joined the website and loved the content. He thought he might have lost some strength since he was not hitting the ball with much force, but I saw right away that his pivot was aggressive and that he had the ability to move the club fast enough to hit the ball a long way. I figured there was a serious technique issue involved, and I could pretty much pick out the…
