Subject: Feedback on June 12-14 Golf School
To: timg@gravesgolf.com
Dear Tim,
I want you’ll to know how much I enjoyed the June 12-14 Golf School in Oklahoma City. I have played golf for over 50 years and at one time I had a scratch handicap. My swing was the traditional two plane swing with a reverse “C” finish. In my late 30’s I herniated two discs in my lower back which I aggravated every time I tried to play. I had trouble walking for days after each golf outing and out of frustration, I was close to quitting the game. Approximately 5 years ago, I stumbled across the Graves Golf Academy, and I immediately switched to the single plane swing and my back problems subsided. I have spent numerous hours watching videos, webinars, Graves Golf on Demand and sent in videos for analysis and coaching. I thought I was close to the model, but my ball striking was not improving and I felt that there was something that I was missing which prompted me to sign up for the school.
Within the first hour of school, I had an “ah ha” moment and realized that I was not setting up correctly at address which was causing problems throughout the swing. It was a minor adjustment but one that I would not have caught had I not attended the school. I learned something new in every classroom session and was able to use that knowledge while putting, chipping and on the range with the guidance and coaching of your team. All the instructors were knowledgeable and shared their experience transitioning to the single plane swing which was helpful to all the attendees. Major thanks to Derek, Brad, David and Matt for an informative, helpful and fun week!
The attendees had diverse golfing backgrounds ranging from beginners to those that have attended numerous Graves Golf Schools but all of us shared the same goal of improving our golf with the single plane swing. We all left with a new set of skills and a renewed determination to improve. My current handicap is a 9 and I am confident that I will have a low single digit handicap by the end of summer due to attending the school.
Thanks again for all that you do and for making golf fun again!
Sincerely,
James Wiggins
