As the summer golfing season comes to a close, we approach my favorite time to play…..the fall. The temps get cooler and the ability to stand out and practice and play gets more bearable. I wanted to take a minute and revisit my ultimate goal for creating this blog. My goal was to help you, the average golfer and continue to grow the game. At times I feel as if I lose focus on this and try to impress my peers (all the outstanding coaches that I am fortunate enough to have reading my blog and sometimes even commenting on it, which I am grateful). I know that I do not have all the answers (maybe 30% as I can tell) but I am excited to learn the rest and share it with all of you. For those of you that have worked with me the last several years, know that my goal is to improve as your coach every year and I have done that. Next years guru model will be the best ever. But I can guarantee that there is not a coach out there that cares more about their students (YOU) and has a passion for helping people have more fun playing this great game and improving. If I don’t have the answer to your questions, I have a lot of friends that are a lot smarter than me that do and I will get it for you….because that is what I do. As Jerry McGuire says,”I am an animal for you and I will not sleep until I am playing a video game named after you wearing a shoe that you designed with your name on it….Well, you know what I mean. I care! So let’s get back to basics and get this blog rolling with some old fashioned….Ask The Guru! Here is how it works: 1) You leave a question in the comment section about anything that you want 2) I will either type an answer back in the form of a blog or make a video blog demonstrating the answer for you. If you have been a lurker of this blog, which means that you read my stuff and watch Guru TV but don’t comment, I would love to hear from you. I have over 100 subscribers and would love to get more to get some dialogue going so spread the word as there will be alot of creative specials that I will be rolling out the rest of
the year. I look forward to your questions and I can’t wait to help you with your game.

I like the Jerry McGuire quote Guru. So much coming from golf pros online right now seems geared toward other golf pros, which is a nice change of pace from the dumbed down tips in the magazines BUT the goal really should be to get the average golfer better.
Here’s my question for you relating to posture: What’s your preferred method for helping someone who doesn’t bend from the hips well learn how to get into that great golf posture, as opposed to bending at their low back?

No problem Jason, I like the way you constantly strive to learn and are open to new ideas yet are always looking to apply the information right away to help students rather than seeking to acquire golf knowledge just for its own sake. Most pros are in one of two camps: Either they feel they know everything so they’re closed off to their fellow instructor’s methods or they are intellectually curious but can’t translate that into success working with average players who don’t make learning the golf swing their life’s purpose.

Guru, I live in England and found your blog a few weeks ago and some of your tips have already started to improve my golf. I just took up golf 2 years ago, am down to an 18 handicap, but still struggle with some of the basics…like squaring the clubface. I have worked hard to maintain my lag but can’t seem to get timing of forearm/wrist rotation to square clubface. I compress the ball well but I I push shots. Any advice, tips, or aid suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again for helping us hackers.

Bill,
I am honored that you found my blog. I have an answer to your question. Look for an upcoming video for your answer and some guidance. One question. Do you ever miss left or are your shots mainly straight with a miss pushed to the right. Thanks again for responding so quick and playing the game

Bill: That’s my typical miss as well, the block to the right.
