The golf swing is all about pressure and force. I may have the only true training method available in the world that allows the student to learn this and build their swing by utilizing it correctly.

Too much of today's generic instruction is based on observation and guesswork. Even data needs interpretation. If the person assessing the numbers has never worked on pressure and force and only used checkpoints and swing positions, the information cannot be trusted.

Come learn from someone who competed against and played with the best golfers at the highest level of golf. Receive true instruction based on competitive testing and advice gathered from the greatest golfers to ever play the game.

Your swing will develop based on the correct sensations, feelings, and imagery that built the foundation of the very best.

 From the ground up, all the way through the body, and into the club. You can be one step closer to becoming a more complete golfer with no limitations to hold you back from improvement any longer.

The training drills I have designed and used and never altered have allowed hundreds of students to learn how to swing with maximum power and maximum control. They also allow the student to make swing changes at a far greater rate than would be possible by just hitting balls alone.

Too many golfers assume that once they have some information, they should be able to perform it consistently and immediately.

However, learning golf skills doesn't work like that. What happens is, you need to understand what it is you are trying to do both physically and mentally first. In other words:

1. You need to understand it conceptually    (How does it look compared to my old way of doing it?)

2. You need to understand it physically      (How is it supposed to feel compared to my old way of doing it?)

3. You need to practice it enough to bring about adaption    (Bring about what?)

    

   Your golf practice routines should be designed so that the objective of the exercise is to put your mind and body under progressively increasing levels of stress to bring about the change.

   Your swing simply won't alter by trying to think of doing something when you swing. You need to alter your muscular movements by doing the correct drill work over and over until the motion becomes subconscious and free of thought.

   Every person has a particular swing DNA that has been inbuilt over the years of playing golf and from our body chemistry and makeup and movement. To change this takes work. Let's not forget that the greatest golfer of the past 30 years has often stated that when he was going through a swing change it took him at least 12 months before he could fully trust the new swing void of thought. And this is the winningest golfer in history saying this. Yet many people are under the illusion that hitting balls a few times a week will magically solve everything.!!

   The greater the degree of adaptation in the training process, the greater the potential is for higher levels of performance when it matters most. For that reason, the purpose of any well-designed practice plan is to bring on adaptations that do one thing: improve your performance on the course.

    

   Improvement is truly possible but only possible if you observe this important practice sequence.

    

   Increasing stimuli (specific practice drills) = Adaptation (growth of a new pattern of movement) = Improved performance (measurable difference in performance — initially on the driving range and ultimately on the golf course).

   Being consistent with the drills, you WILL eventually change your existing motor pattern for a better and more functional pattern.

   Keep in mind that progress can, but not always, be slow. While some people may see instant results, others may perform at a lesser standard initially until the alterations start to take hold. This is due to the body being in two minds — doing what it is learning to do while still trying to do what it previously did.

   The best thing for the student is to put in the work and the results will come.

    

   If I could teach the golf swing in one fell swoop I would. But that is not feasible or possible.

   We learn. We ingrain. We alter. We change. We inrain more. We build. We get better.

    

   Once the body knows, the body does. So stay persistent in the pursuit.

   There is no one magic move to make the golf swing function. Some may need less alteration because some components of their swing are more advanced and ready to accept the alterations. But once the series of workings are learned and into your mental and body DNA, the mystery of golf will gradually disappear.

    

   The best ball strikers ever left a treasure trove of fundamentals and guidelines and thoughts and feels that very few understand. I understand it because I lived it. And I can pass it onto you.

Once I stopped competing week in and week out towards the end of 2008, the next logical step was to teach people the game of golf. As I was to find out, I wasn't very good at that from the outset.

I was passing along generic information. The kind of stuff that floods social media today. Basic ideas. Flawed logics. I knew there was a better way and I knew I had an advantage because of my playing days and the great players I played with and learned from along the way. It was time to be better. It was time to teach advanced mechanics and motion. Why make someone good when you can actually make them great?

I started out by looking at old videos and photographs I had of myself. My swing had been altered over the second half of my career by well-meaning instructors who didn't comprehend just what made my swing work so well beforehand.

I had the wide back swing. I had a huge down cock of the wrists on the downswing. I had the hard late release of a massive angle into impact. I even had the right foot slide like Greg Norman and Scheffler today, up into a full high wrap-around finish.

Too sloppy. Too loose. These were the words I would hear from coaches. I didn't really want to alter my swing. I just wanted to understand it. And nobody could explain what I was doing. They wanted to change it to the model of the period instead of working out how and why I did the things I did.

I was never going to fall for that again!!

So I went on a search. Besides watching my swing over and over, I also started watching other swings. But not necessarily the picture-perfect swings. I wanted to delve into the unconventional looking swings that absolutely tore up golf courses and lifted trophies time and time again.

Lee Trevino. Arnold Palmer. Chi Chi Rodriguez. Peter Senior. Eamon Darcy. Doug Sanders. Even Jack Nicklaus, who apparently would "never be any good" because of his flying right elbow.

I researched thousands of articles and videos and interviews by the game's greatest. I was also fortunate to be up close and personal with many of these great players through my playing tournament rounds and practice rounds with many of them. All this enabled me to see and know exactly what made these elite ball strikers the best in the game.

Originally, I was a feel player. I didn't have much footage or photographs of my swing growing up. I knew what it felt like but didn't really know what it looked like. This constant research allowed me to see that my swing and many of the great ball strikers' swing were very similar in dynamics and movement. A lot of golf swings should look different because we are all different builds and different heights and have different eye dominance and different strengths in certain areas of the body. But the dynamics in a few areas were precisely the same.

As far as becoming an elite instructor, well, you can only teach what you can do. If you cannot recreate the motion with the ideal pressures and forces to keep the swing together, then you will never be able to teach it correctly. 

Yes, my instruction is advanced. Because I want to allow golfers to truly understand how to strike the ball great. Not just good. Yet the simplicity of the learning process is unequaled in today's current instruction environment. You will never hear me speak in foreign terms or try and blind someone with science. When worked on correctly, the swing becomes powerful, efficient, consistent and extremely simple.

I have had amazing success with my students. Professional and amateur, men and women and juniors. It truly is just a matter of telling the golf ball what to do. Remember, the golf ball has zero idea who is hitting it. It can only do what it is told to do.

The very first student I worked with on my training drills went from a personal best score of 130 strokes to 88 strokes within four weeks. Within 12 months, his lowest score had become a 75. And this was from consistent drill work with only a few lessons sprinkled in. I didn't even help him with his short game at that stage, but his scores decreased as much as anybody who has played golf was able to achieve.

That is why my instruction process works so well. I view the individual. I immediately know what they already have available in their swing and what area we need to focus on initially to get fast improvement. I show them the perfect drill associated with that improvement. Then I show them ball hitting drills to co-incide so they can feel the swing and strike of a ball as well as the impact bag they do their initial training on.

We work on one thing at a time. Once that becomes stronger and more natural and void of thought, we move on to the next piece of the puzzle. Every little change a golfer makes in their swing ultimately has a bearing on another part of the swing. That's where my training process is brilliant in its design. I KNOW exactly what the next stepping stone to better golf needs to be.

It is no different from learning to play a musical instrument. You learn chord A, and work diligently on that. Then you learn chord B, and eventually you learn to thread chord A and chord B together. Then you add chord C and so on. Pretty soon you are making music. Just like you begin to make a more structurally sound golf swing by following the same format.

If you sat down at a piano or picked up a guitar and someone handed you some sheet music and asked you to play the tune, you would have no understanding of how to do it. Just like the golf swing. It will become one big mess if you do not know the sequence or are thinking of too many things at once.

Learn the chords then learn how to put them together. That is how a successful change occurs.
