Simplify your swing thoughts

In these days with unlimited access to golf videos, internet instruction, the Golf Channel and the rest I find many students making the swing more complicated than it really is. If you're struggling and feeling confused with too much theory play your next few rounds based on "two turns combined with the swinging of your arms".
Think of the backswing simply as the first turn. Think of moving your right side out to the way as your arms swing the club back and up. Simplify your downswing as well. Forget all the stuff about head, hips, late hit and all the rest. Simply picture your downswing as the second turn - moving your left side out of the way as your arms swing the club down and through the ball.
If you have a proper grip and set up, and can keep your head reasonably still and your feet firmly on the ground during the backswing, using this approach could do a lot for your game.
Using this method you'll quickly discover the swing really isn't a complicated movement. Besides, how much can you think about in 1 1/2 seconds? That is the amount of time the average golf swing takes from start to finish.

Worthwhile Teaching

     One of my favorite quotes is from Harvey Penick, author of The Little Red Book.  Harvey was a teaching professional his entire life and worked with the likes of Ben Crenshaw, Tom Kite and hundreds of other professionals and amateurs. I admire his common sense approach to teaching and it's simplicity. He said, " Lessons are not to take the place of practice, but to make practice  worthwhile."
     In my opinion this is exactly what the purpose of a golf lesson should be. So that afterwards the student understands what he or she is to work on during their practice time. They are now ingraining a correct movement or action rather that further ingraining a poor one.
    Simplicity and communication are the two traits of an excellent teacher. I work on only one thing at a time during a lesson with a student. I make sure I have communicated with the student in a manner that they clearly understand not only the movement, but also the purpose of the action.
    The student has a more enjoyable experience and improves faster. This is what the art of teaching is all about.

Why Custom Fit ?

      A very skilled player can play well with just about any set of golf clubs. This is because they have the skill and experience to make adjustments to the performance differences between clubs within a few swings.
     On the other hand a middle to high handicap player needs equipment that is properly fitted to  their physique and capabilities. Regardless of you handicap or skill level, using clubs that fit you properly is an important factor in giving yourself the best possible chance of playing well.
      There are many important variables in club fitting. Length, shaft flex, shaft material, loft and lie, club head style, grip size and material are all important components. Choosing the proper set make up allows you to purchase the correct number of clubs to optimize your game, and saves money at the same time.
       Custom fit equipment arrives from the manufacturer in about 7 days, and the cost per club is the same as off the rack sets. Think about it.. You wouldn't buy a suit off the rack without trying it on. Nor should you invest in new equipment without being professionally custom fit.
