- To build your golf swing, you need to understand and practice the correct positions in each phase of the swing. The easiest way to do that is to break down the swing in sections and work on them individually without hitting balls. The swing happens so quickly that it is impossible try to think about every moving part in your swing, but if you rehearse each move separately, in phases, your body then can respond and put all the pieces together in one fluid motion.
- Good Players Keep Their Lead Arm Extended
- If you bend your lead arm, you loose the radius of your swing.
Good ball strikers create a wide arc on the backswing because they accomplish a couple of things:
1) As they swing back, they naturally hinge their wrists, which puts the club on the proper plane
2) They are flexible enough to make a full turn while maintaining the lead arm extended.
High-handicappers tend to do the opposite:
1) Because of a faulty grip they are unable to hinge their wrists properly and then usually end up hinging their elbows instead and
2) Because they may not be as flexible, they are unable to make a full turn so they cannot keep the left arm extended so they bend the arm instead.

KPJ’s Teaching Philosophy-
I focus on teaching my students the fundamentals of the swing. I try not to get too technical or position oriented. I think a golf swing is about getting the clubface square at impact with rhythm and tempo. I try to adjust my instruction to the ability, interests and motivations of the player I am teaching. Together we will spend time developing an appropriate approach for them to play the game and help them set and achieve short and long terms goals.
