My mission is to teach you the how to “Get Your Game in Gear” by teaching you how to apply the club properly to a golf ball by using your hand-eye coordination to achieve effortless power and control. The skill you will develop with your hands will improve all aspects of your golf game – driving, iron play, wedges, chipping, pitching and putting.
Why Does Your Transmission Slips When You Play Golf
Golf instruction goes in the wrong direction when the goal is to teach you how to swing a golf club in order to make perfect swings that will produce perfect shots. In my experience. I don’t think this approach is the proper way to teach golf because the “perfect” swing does not hold up under pressure. The more effective way is to learn to “hit” the ball using hand eye coordination to compress the ball (whether with an iron or driver) properly to produce effortless power, control and confidence. Would you like that?
Using your hands properly is a technique or skill that you can develop stop you transmission from slipping. Other signs that you have a faulty transmission are: slicing, hooking, shanks, thin shots, fats shots, poor distance and excessive effort. Is this you?
Getting your transmission in Gear it is not as hard do, simple to understand and easy to achieve results quickly. Once you learn it, you’ll never need to learn it again. Isn’t that a novel concept in golf instruction and this is how golf instruction should be. Positive results that happen quickly to allow you to move to the next aspect of the game and your golf education. If your instruction is not easy for you to understanding and execute, then you are wasting your time.
Make Lemonade When Life Give You Lemons
Growing up in Rockville MD, a suburb of Washington DC, I was lucky enough to live in a neighborhood that had bunch of kids in my neighborhood where we play all sport year after year depending on the season. Fall was football, winter was basketball and spring/summer was baseball, repeat. One summer day when I was 13, during an impromptu batting practice, an errant pitch knocked out four of top teeth completely. This happened during baseball season but I did finish the baseball season, made the All Star Team and all seemed normal. The next baseball season came around on the calendar and I could not stay in the box to hit. The coach cut me from the team.
A friend of mine asked me if I want to Caddy and make some money at a local Country Club – Bethesda CC in Maryland. I did not know what a Caddy was since I have never stepped foot on a golf course before much less a country club but the idea of making some money was a winner. We went to Caddy camp and then they match us up with member to start our caddying career. At that time, I didn’t think much of golf since I had played team sports all my athletic life which instilled in me an ultra-competitive spirit. To my surprise, the members I caddied for were fun, easy going, trashing talking athletes that were also ultra-competitive within the foursome. Who knew a handicap could place all golfers, of different skill levels, on the same level playing field. I had a great time with them and they inspire me to give golf a try. I watch with full attention the swings of the best players of the Club and I tried to mimic their swing for my game. In 8th grade, I shot 52 and I didn’t lose a ball. Golf to me was similar to baseball with respect that it had a ball, stick and the goal was to hit it as hard and far as possible. What is not to like? I was hooked after I broke 40 that summer.
I made the High School golf team the next year. Our team won the State Championship with four Juniors in 1984 but we failed to repeat by two strokes the next year as Seniors. That summer, I was a Semi-Finalist in three different Washington DC area Junior tournaments and I felt like I could play in college after only picking up the game four short years ago. I went on to play golf for the local Junior College (Montgomery College) where I qualified to represent the district in two consecutive years at National Junior College Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NJCAA) tournaments. Division I golf didn’t work out for me at University of Maryland under Fred Funk after walking onto the team as number one. Final note, I wasn’t the first player as a walk-on to be cut from team after transferring into a four year school and I won’t be the last either. With that said, I did want my letter though. Oh well.
The Lesson Plan
We start by learning how to hit the golf ball, not to make a golf swing. This will be the last lesson you will need to take regarding how to hit a golf into the air without getting in your own way with countless swing thoughts and keys.
We move next to the short game. These simple chipping and pitching techniques are easy to learn and execute. Each will help you lower scores by saving strokes around the green and throughout your round. It will not take you long to become real good in these aspects of the game and you may even hole out a chip or two.
Just beyond the distance of a chip or pitch, you will learn how to use your wedges to score inside 100 yards with simple accuracy. This scary shot for most players turns into opportunities to make birdies or save par. The key to lower scores is to get up and down in 2 from inside 100 yards.
The last aspect of game I will teach you, but certainly not least, is putting. This is the easiest shot is execute in golf but it is hardest to achieve consistent results because the true measure of success in putting is to hole the putt. Success or Failure. I will show you how to give yourself the greatest opportunity to hole your putts and lower your scores.
Playing lessons offer a golfer the opportunity to incorporate all aspects golf from tee to green. Typically, a nine hole playing lesson give me the insights on how you have masters the techniques of Transmission Golf. The insights I can gain from watching you execute all aspects of the game will help me focus your improvement and areas of practice.
Now, let’s get your game in gear!
