  • Introduction to Ultimate Golf: The Perfect Golf Swing and Beyond3:32

    Are you confused by all the different swing theories? It appears that every instructor follows a different version of the Golf Instructor's Bible.

    Do you ride a roller-coaster of inconsistency year after year?

    The explanation is simple: you've been confusing cause and effect. Trying to change effects without correcting the underlying cause creates an endless pattern of fault-finding and error correction..

    In this ten part series, you will learn the three essential technical elements that apply to every aspect of the game. When you see how these elements affect results, then you have a solid foundation for developing your unique style.

    Enough said. Let's get started...

  • The Golf Grip1:55

    In this video you will learn how to find your ideal golf grip.  The grip determines the angle of the club face at impact.  This angle determines the rotation or spin on the ball which, in turn, affects the direction the ball curves.  The game of golf begins with a proper golf swing, and a good golf swing begins with the proper golf grip.

  • Bonus: How to Build Your Perfect Grip5:39

    Do you know how the grip affects the swing?

    Over 80% of golfers don't understand how their grip affects the flight of the ball.  This video is a brief refresher on the essence of an effective grip. 

    Do you understand the terms "strong" and "weak" grip? Do you know where the "v's" should point or how many knuckles you should see?

    In this video, you will have a clear understanding of the terms and learn how the position of your hands affects the angle of the clubface at impact.

    Thanks for watching!

  • The Golf Grip Quiz 2
  • How does the grip affect the results?
  • The Golf Grip Quiz 3
  • The Putting Grip1:27

    In this video you will learn how to find your proper putting grip.  The grip you use for the putter is very different from every other club in your bag.  It is essential you understand the difference to achieve success on the putting green.

  • The Golf Setup Position3:29

    In the game of golf the golf swing is everything.  And the best way to ensure a good golf swing is to ensure your set-up or address position is correct.  The secret to a perfect address position is to stand as close to your natural height as possible.

    There are 3 main keys to finding your ideal set-up position and in this lecture I will describe them.

  • Golf Setup Quiz
  • Golf Setup Quiz 2
  • Golf Setup Quiz 3
  • The Art of Putting3:03

    In the game of golf mastering the fundamentals of the golf swing and correct putting form are essential.  In this lecture you will learn the art of putting. A proper putt will impart topspin or over-spin on the ball.  Topspin allows the ball to hug the green creating a smooth roll.

    This lecture explains how to properly create the correct putting motion.

  • Putting Quiz
  • Putting Quiz 2
  • Putting Quiz 3
  • The Art of Chipping2:40

    In our previous lecture on putting you learned the fundamentals of how top-spin affects the motion of a golf ball.  In this lecture on the art of chipping you will learn that effective chipping is based on backspin.

    Backspin occurs when the ball is compressed between the club face and the ground and runs up the grooves before travelling forward.  It may sound complicated but it's not. Allow me to elaborate within this lesson.

  • The Art of Pitching3:26

    The quickest way to stop three putting is to reduce the number of putts over twenty feet. Mastering the art of Pitching is the first step to more one-putt greens.

    Pitching can be classified into two basic categories:

    (1) The High Pitch that lands softly and stops.

    (2) The Pitch and Run that bounces and rolls softly.

    In this lecture I'm going to describe the two basic pitch shots and the required adjustments.

    This course is designed to help you master a perfect golf swing.  Throughout the program you've been learning about the subtle differences between clubs. In this lecture you will learn the three keys for accurate iron play.  The principles apply equally to hybrids as well.

  • Proper Hybrid Use2:48

    The game of golf begins with the proper golf swing.  Once that has been mastered the flight and distance the golf ball travels can be altered by your choice of club.  In this lecture you will learn how technology has made the hybrid club one of your most useful allies.  

  • Hybrids Quiz
  • Hybrids Quiz 2
  • Hybrids Quiz 3
  • Driving with Woods2:25

    Your longest hitting golf club in your bag is the driver.  This lecture will explain some of the secrets to accurate driving.    Once you understand the three fundamental elements within your golf swing, applying them to your woods will become easy.

  • Sand Shots3:26

    Mastering the game of golf is a constantly evolving process.  You have finally found your proper golf swing and are feeling good about your shots when along comes the dreaded bunker.

  • Sand Shots Quiz
  • Sand Shots Quiz 2
  • Sand Shots Quiz 3
  • Uphill and Downhill Shots in Golf3:06

    Do you struggle with uneven lies? Do you search for golf courses that are relatively flat?

    I will begin with a review of the essential address position for every shot.  It's crucial that you follow this set up routine with every club. Then we will move to reading the topography of the golf course.

    2. A longer back-swing equals greater distance.

    3.  Your practice range shots are the same as your game shots.

Overview

This course contains three distinct sections:    

Part One focuses on the essentials found in every consistent swing.

Every part of the game contains three essential elements.
When you understand how these elements affect the flight of the ball, then you have the tools for building your unique swing.

This program is designed for the golfer who wants to break the endless cycle of trying to "fix" their swing.

The simple drills will help you see and feel the essential elements to put your swing on autopilot.

Have you ever hit a perfect shot? You have the ability.

All you need is the recipe.


Part Two is an introduction to the mental side of the game with Mr. Danny King, the 2016 Canadian Player of the Year. Danny's insight on common misconceptions and the development of junior golf is enlightening.
