Lets face it, our day to day customers are men and women who work nine until five, five days a week and have a couple of hours free to learn the game of golf over the weekends or occasionally evenings after work. They are not all flexible and dynamic but they would all love to play better golf.

“There is more than one way to skin a cat!”

There are definite fundamentals which need to be learnt in order to play a decent game of golf and once learned the average golfer is capable of playing to an 18 handicap.

For example:

We must learn to hold the club correctly. This is a very important point but it is so, so over looked. I believe it was the great Ben Hogan who said “the grip is the heart beat of the action of the golf swing” How true this is, our hands are our only physical contact with the club.

We have to have a systematic approach to learning golf but we also have to keep it SIMPLE! We do not need a system OVERLOAD!

 I believe I have a great knowledge of the game of golf through my 25 years of teaching and playing  golf but most importantly I know how and how much knowledge I need to pass on to my students  

Generally a teacher is only as good as the student’s ability to work and learn.

I look forward to learning more and sharing with you my knowledge of this truly fascinating game.

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome to my website. My main goal with this website is to make use of the new technologies available to us today. I would like to post regular videos about golf, not only golf technique but also what is happening in general in golf today. I have taken on board my website the new v1 branded academy software enabling me to offer lessons via the internet.
You will be able to upload your swing video to me via your computer or mobile phone, I will analyse your swing and give you important feedback and drills to enable you to improve your technique and game. You will receive an email and sms from me giving you a link to access your own online locker via PC or smart phone where all you golf swings will be stored and you can constantly refer back to these lessons and see the improvement taking place. You can then post your lessons on your face book site and share them with your friends if you wish.

Lets be honest here about golf instruction, I have over 100 golf books written by top golf instructors  and players.

I have been to and still go to further education seminars “European teaching conferences" and "advanced coaching conferences".
And after 27 years of teaching and playing the game professionally I can say that nearly all of them are right in their own way.

The misconception comes from the way the game is taught!

I have also had lessons from some of the best instructors in a pursuit not only to improve my own knowledge but also to improve my own game and I have found myself in knots.

I believe this is because all instructors want to give something but only very few have a gift in how to communicate it correctly.

The modern game has changed, it has become a power game at the very top level due to better equipment, better technique through the use of video analysis and other equipment  such as force plates and K-vests to measure the kinetic chain and of course the modern players are  more athletic.

There is a lot of information out there these days and it`s easy to get confused.

Anatomical absolutes, biomechanics, geometry, physics of the ball flight laws, the brain and learning patterns and of course the swing mechanics.

This information can be very useful when used correctly and when working with athletes and elite players.
