"The golf swing is built on understanding the basic fundamentals - grip, stance, balance, alignment and spine angle. Turning the basic fundamentals into a setup routing is a must have and the routine should be worked on in house or backyard to build good habits on the golf course.
Because each of us is so uniquely different, we don't learn in the same way. You may be an audio, visual, or physical learner. Also, each person feels the swing differently - left side, right side or ambidextrous. My goal as a teacher is to help students find the correct feeling of the swing to build a golf swing they can understand and repeat."
