Golfers deserve more from their golf lessons. The golf teaching industry cannot take a single golfer from the 90s to the 70s. And this has been going on for far too long. It seems to me that anyone of average physical means ought to be able to swing a stick and hit a ball well, especially since the ball is not even moving. And if you can stand there and do it wrong, you sure ought to be able to stand there and do it right. And I mean today. Not after years of practice.
Anyone who has struggled with golf lessons and studied their favorite players ought to come to the conclusion I have. Professional golfers do not do ANYTHING that golf teachers claim they are doing when they hit a golf ball, especially the infamous “takeaway.” How do I know? I sponsor tour players and I play golf with them regularly. I stand on tee boxes with the world’s best players and see up close how golf is played at the highest level. I promise you. It is not going down the way golf teachers are telling you.
Golf teachers believe the way to improve is to mimic the swing movements of professional golfers. And that is why we hear golf teaching terms like takeaway, transition, muscle-memory (muscles don’t remember anything), ground-force reaction, shallowing, etc… ad nauseam. But the entire professional golf swing happens in one second. Humans cannot reliably mimic a one-second, full-body, high-speed movement. The notion that you can get your golf scores lower if you work hard at golf swing mimicry for a few years is absolutely nuts. And data suggests that recreational golfers are getting worse despite better equipment, teaching technology, and an endless litany of training aids.
Will the golf governing bodies ever acknowledge that they do not know how to teach their own game? No. They live in a pretend bubble, where they believe in natural-born golf talent for a few and a burgeoning, self-enamored, self-praising golf lesson industry that keeps the masses placated with technology and hope. When I look at the “world’s greatest” golf teachers, I see people hawking slice fixes and training aids and golf lesson immersion retreats. There’s one guy that carries a car steering wheel around with him, because apparently that’s a golf lesson now. How does that make any sense? Wouldn’t your great teaching ability eliminate the need for car steering wheels and slice fixes and training aids?
A proper golf lesson would not teach you to mimic the intricate swing movements of professional golfers. A proper golf lesson would teach you how the professional golf swing is formed at inception, meaning which muscles and body parts are initially engaged by the golfer in the process of hitting the ball.
At Golf Blab, I have an online lesson called Swing Like a Pro. It teaches you how the professional golf swing is formed at inception and how it self-automates, and it WORKS!
