General Golf Instruction
Today I'm back with Greg MacDonell and Dale Moser, as we continue our discussion about club fitting and what Dale did to each of our students' clubs. I always say fitted clubs are the way to go but Dale shows a great reminder that some of your clubs don't have to be replaced.
Today I'm coming to you from our golf school in Bluffton, South Carolina. Being our home base for operations, Old South Golf Links always has a tremendous setup for our 3 day schools. What's exciting about this golf school is that PPGS Certified Fitter, Dale Moser is here all week to help the... more
One Surgite wrote in and said he was having some slight pain in his wrist and wasn't sure what could be causing it. If you or anyone you golf with has also had similar issues, take a look at today's video as I discuss positions in the golf swing that could be the culprit of your pain.
When students tell me they're having success with the Peak Performance Golf Swing that they've never had before, it makes me extremely happy. This was the case for George Snyder who recently shot the best score of his life. However, he had a question about turning the shoulders after impact.
After his thrilling and impressive victory at The 2012 Masters, the long hitting Bubba Watson became even more popular and the term "Bubba Golf" was coined. Some of our viewers have asked me what I think of Bubba's game and if he's a vertical swinger.
You've heard me discuss shoulder tilt before, but today I'd like to go into more depth about the position of the shoulders at address. This video was brought on by a question I received from Glenn Eggleston.
Edward Bullano sent in a question regarding tight lies in the fairways. He faced this situation last summer during competition and wanted to know of any instruction I could offer for this season of tournament golf.
DJ recently took some time out of his schedule and conducted a clinic with the participants of our Swing Surgeon Spring Tournament at Old South Golf Links in Bluffton, SC. He answered all sorts of questions regarding the golf swing and what he's been working on this year out on the PGA TOUR.
Most golf instruction today teaches a big turn, which calls for the front knee to collapse in. But with a limited turn, vertical swing, there is no need for the front leg to move more than a few inches because we're only turning as far as the toe line.
Today I'd like to give you all an update on what I've been working on with my swing. Because I conduct golf schools and private lessons on a regular basis, it's important for me to always be on top of my game. If I can't perform the swing that I am teaching, it's likely that the student won't... more
Sometimes people are struck with injuries that inhibit them to play golf or even practice. These unfortunate injuries could stem from any number of reasons, none of which are from swinging the golf club.
If you're having some problems understanding the bump than today's daily is for you. The bump is critical because it's what pulls your arms down into position to make solid impact on the ball. This lateral left shift is one of the most important parts of the Peak Performance Golf Swing.
After Doc Griffin's series on the importance of club fitting, we had a discussion about peoples' expectations after getting fitted for the proper clubs. Many people might have the misconception that by merely being fit for clubs, they will become a great golfer overnight.
If Bubba Watson proved anything this weekend at The Masters, it's that you have to be able to judge your distance on a hole that's uphill or downhill. Figuring out just how much yardage to add or subtract can be tricky, but there are ways to do it.
When I first started studying the physics and physiology of the golf swing, my mentor Dr. Ned Armstrong told me that the body alerts you with stress and strain as a prelude to pain. A question was sent in from Nick asking what he could do to alleviate the pain he was experiencing in his hip.
Henri sent in a question after he heard a famous golfer discussing some common mistakes that amateurs make in their golf swings. He wondered if it related to vertical swingers as well.
Many kids in school are on spring break at this time of year. Some go on vacation with their families while others use the extra time to work on becoming better athletes in their respective sports. One such student came to me to work on his short game, as it had been giving him some problems as... more
When it comes to the continuity of flow in a golf swing, many people think that there should be a pause at the top of the backswing. Harold sent in a question that pertained to this very subject and asked that I address it in a daily video.
Most golfers will admit that they would like to increase their distance and become longer hitters. One important aspect to accomplish this is your swing speed. Larry McMillen submitted a question about swing speed and wanted to know of any tips he could try in order to get his speed up.
Many people in the Surge Nation have asked for an alternative to driving great distances in order to be fitted by a Swing Surgeon/PPGS Certified Club Fitter. I've always stated the importance of playing clubs that were designed specifically for each individual. However, I understand that not... more
After purchasing our new video featuring 3 time PGA TOUR Champion, Kenny Knox, I received a question from Don Klein regarding bunker shots and how to properly execute the "A" technique.
It's been a great week here in Central Florida and our students all seemed to really enjoy their experience. Today I decided to have the students speak about the golf school and the experiences they found most memorable.
Today, Dave Seeman and I are going to discuss some more things we've noticed at our Florida Golf Schools. Being one day golf schools, we're seeing a lot of different players out here including some older gentlemen. One similarity between the older golfers was their swing speed.
It's time for Dave Seeman and I to announce the winner of our Facebook contest! Last week, we decided to reward all those who have "liked" The Swing Surgeon on Facebook.
Dick Braman sent in a question regarding the act of pre-loading heavy right when setting up to the ball. He has been having good success off of the tee, but when he plays from the fairway, he often hits chunky shots.
