Golf Instruction

The Unlikely Golfer is for people who love golf - but find that golf doesn't love them back. In other words, they have tried to learn golf - but nothing works - they are bad golfers. This is based on my experience. I took a series of lessons - and got worse. I wanted to know how is this possible. Am I too old, too uncoordinated, do I lack athleticism? A person in this situation thinks. "What is wrong with me"? And, if you love golf - "What do I do now - spend more money - take more lessons"? What I found is that the problem is how golf is taught. Pros teach you how to move to hit the ball. Sounds logical but it puts your brain on a path of analyzing and evaluating individual movements. Thinking, "How-to-move" as you're in motion causes brain confusion - there's not enough time in the course of a swing to process the information - this causes a hesitation in your muscles. The same as when you make a simple motion like walking - you don't think, "How-to-walk" as you do it. A golf swing can be viewed as a simple motion - if you allow your brain to work the way it already works best. I teach golf from the start with a simple motion out to a target - the mental focus is always on the target - not the ball - or how to move to hit the ball. It's easy - anyone can do it - and as often as they want.
