The Best Training I’ve Ever Seen

At a recent 3 Day Premier school in Palm Springs, I experienced a truly amazing transformation of a group of golfers. It was awe inspiring to watch, and as an instructor, very, very exciting to see. Permit me to elaborate.

It was on the 2nd morning of our 3-day school, and the group of students were warming up that morning by practicing our PVC drill. Our group of instructors, 5 of us in all, we walking the tee line, helping each golfer individually. After a few minutes of observation of not only the individuals, but the group in general, we noticed that the majority of the students were doing the drill incorrectly.

Now, if you’ve followed our instruction, you know our firm belief that if a drill isn’t done correctly, it’s doing more harm than good. In fact, practicing incorrectly can be fatal to your game.

We decided to stop the entire group, and circled everyone up. We reviewed each position of the PVC drill, reminded the group of valuable checkpoints at each position, had the group demonstrate correct positioning, and sent them back to the line to “try again”.

What transpired over the next 20 minutes was the best training session I have ever seen.  I saw a group of golfers who were intensely focused on each position. These golfers were moving to a position, checking it, and if the position was not correct, they fixed it immediately.  It was a truly magical moment to behold. That group improved their swings in that 20-minute session, which is what the schools are all about.

It’s training, and I mean truly training, that makes the golf school experience superior to any other form of instruction out there.

At each and every GGA school program, from the 5 day Build Your Game Camp to the 1-day Single Plane Experience, our focus as an instruction company is helping you learn to train. The fundamentals of the swing, putting, and the wedge game are simple, it’s learning how to train each of those areas – correctly – that make the golf school experience last.

If you are ready to experience exactly what your perfect golf swing feels like, then I encourage you to get to attend a GGA school sooner rather than later. If you are like most of our students, you’ve spent enough time guessing and being frustrated. It’s time to experience it, learn it, and train it under the supervision of a trained eye.

The GGA 3 Day School Succeeds

All golf schools are not created equal. There are good golf schools and great golf schools. So what can you expect from a GGA 3 Day School? Success, as well as a clear understanding of exactly how to achieve a perfect Single Plane Golf Swing, like Moe Norman. I consider a guarantee a great school. And we guarantee that you will get the club On Plane at our golf schools. Here is an example of our recent Single Plane Golf School success with a student named Jim.

As you can see the before swing position of Jim where his trail knee has moved to away from the target, causing a shifting of his hips. This “lateral” move slides his lower back away from the target causing him to “reverse” or tilt in the wrong direction.

To correct this slide, the key is to rotate the hips around a stable trail knee. This allows the back (spine) to stay forward not slide backward. By keeping the spine forward, eliminating the “reverse” shift, the arms can leverage the club into a stronger and On Plane position.

Being on the Single Plane (as indicated by the red line), is a result of proper body position. This is the goal of a 3 day school – to get you on the Single Plane, and make your swing less complicated. In this case, Jim learned to stabilize his trail knee and simplify his backswing. As you can see in the picture, he achieved Moe Norman’s position at the top of the swing.

Now, as I often mention in our 3 day program, Jim must follow through with the most important day of the school, what I call Day 4. Day 4 is making sure that Jim remembers how to achieve what he felt at the school. It is important to know that the feelings that one attains at a golf school are the things that the student can take home.

I always suggest that each student practice for a few hours the day after the school. This helps to recall all that was learned and if any questions arise, this is a good time to contact us to find the “feeling” gained at the school. The feeling of being on a plane, once learned, should be repeated as much as possible – as Moe would say “Oh, what a great feeling”!
