The Golfers Dilemma What's right? ...and what's not? One
instructor suggests that we assume a weightlifter's address position,
then coil the body and fire the right side. Another asks us to forget
our body and swing hand and arms to generate "effortless" power.
Perhaps the most significant quote we've heard on learning golf comes
from Payne Stewart:
"There
a few simple fundamentals you need to learn.
After that, you have to figure it out for yourself."
So true...what to do? My Golf ProShop, through
its extensive research with the best players and teachers in the world,
has identified the simple and true fundamentals of the golf swing.
In order to assist you and support junior golf, our research will
be made available to you through our new official publication -- The
Golf Instructor. My Golf ProShop was created to raise the quality
of play of our subscribers and to promote junior golf. The Golf Instructor
is the place to exchange important ideas that support your self-improvement
plan.
Improving Your Game The Golf Instructor will present short lessons
that explain and reinforce the simple fundamentals. Each lesson will
have a learning objective, define terminology used, share the experiences
of the best teachers and players in the world and recommend training
aids to teach the feels of that lesson. The golf swing lasts but only
a few seconds, yet countless volumes have been written and hundreds
of products have been invented to teach it. The Golf Instructor's
lessons will take you on a guided tour through this body of knowledge
and products, saving you years of trial-and-error frustration. Our
focus will remain on the simple fundamentals. The Golf Instructor
is designed to present instruction and ideas that are vital to all
golfers' success. Our newsletters, taken together, will give you a
complete golfing system. The training aids we recommend have to pass
two stringent requirements:
Playability
- It is being used by the best teachers in the world.
- It is being used successfully by the best professional and amateur players.
Simplicity
- Must help you sense or feel the fundamental described by the lesson.
- Must give you immediate feedback so you can shorten the time it would take you to ultimately figure it out for yourself.
- Is automatic so you can simply hit balls, adjust to the product and improve.
We know you are your best teacher. The Golf Instructor is here to support your learning process. Here's to constant improvement and great golfing!
