All of my lessons are based on the basics.
A few recent examples.
One of my pupils is a martial arts instructor and he realises the crucial importance of a correct stance so he is very easy to teach. He came for his last lesson with a big smile on his face as he had just had his best ever score of 11 over par.
His previous lesson had been all about positioning his feet at address. Your feet are your only contact with the ground and if they are not positioned correctly then everything above them simply cannot function correctly.
See Teaching Video’s 5 & 6.
Another pupil ( first lesson with me 25 years ago ) had his entire address position checked over ( 75% of the shot ) and he sent me a message the following week to say thank you as he had just scored a gross 63.
Another pupil, after just one lesson, where I simply changed the alignment of his feet & the ball position had a gross 91 – his best ever score.
The central theme of this blog is to have everything in position BEFORE the movements commence.
