I’ve studied with a few of the great teachers when I was younger and the one thing they gratefully gave me were “simple” fixes for MY game. I love your approach and now that I am older and struggle to play even close to the par golf I used to be able to achieve your approach really is helping. All the “new swing” approaches are, in my opinion, not supporting the game. As a matter of fact I think the frustration that is occurring for players, especially those of us that are older, is the inability to take a “cookie cutter” “modern swing” approach to the swing. Thanks so much, Ralph
Great feedback Ralph and exactly why we are doing what we are… It’s so needed in the golf industry! Keep involved and email anytime if you have specific questions Sir!
Thanks
