Elliott is a 90’s shooter (although it looks better than that) who has come to Woodmont for his first lesson with me, and as we have seen before first lessons are always interesting as I have to assess the student in a short period of time by asking a few pertinent questions and then videoing […]

Jeff is from Louisiana but has been living in China for the past 15 years or so, and stopped in for a lesson last week while visiting friends in the area. To the eye Jeff’s fast, aggressive swing has good lines and seems all in order. Jeff knows from experience, however, that his ball striking […]

Scott is from California but had a wedding to attend in the DC area so he decided to stop in and spend some time with me at Woodmont. We had 3 hours to work on Monday, then 3 more on Tuesday morning, and I feel like we got a lot accomplished, as I think you […]

I thought this would be an interesting lesson to look at because of Jon’s physical stature. One thing I find to be generally ridiculous in golf instruction is the idea that the swing should be tailored to body type, and that different body types should be taught differently. I believe this to be nonsense. The […]

Tom’s continued progress is a testament to the efficacy of online lessons. This is his 5th go round, and the difference between his swing now and a year and a half ago is startling. He has really done a nice job changing the way he controls the shaft and sequences his lower body to produce […]

Here we have another great example of player showing marked improvement in all aspects of the swing while retaining the same annoying patterns that weaken his impact. Most of the students I teach are able to improve their technique over time, but that improvement is incremental. In other words, the problem areas are still the […]

Here we see a familiar pattern where a lifting pivot in the backswing causes the club to lay off significantly at the top, which in turn causes the shaft to steepen immediately in transition. This flat to steep progression is a good thing if it happens where the flattening is caused by the initiation of […]

Justin has made nice progress since starting with the website, and even made a trip down to see me in July, where we got some nice work in. He is still struggling with the transition move, and I noticed right away that he had left out the line on top of his head, which, in […]

Brandon has made some significant changes in his swing so far, and now is in position to make a major breakthrough in his technique. There wasn’t much he could about getting his right arm to move the right way and his hands more forward at impact until he got rid of some of his movement […]

Dean has taken a couple of online lessons and has (according to Dean) improved quite a bit. Here we see that we are getting down to the major issue in his swing, which is that his swing pattern is arms away in the backswing, hands dropping back and down in transition while the legs work […]
