Below are links to sample golf lessons for different swing faults.
First I analyze golf swings of some PGA touring pros so you can see even THEY have some golf swing faults. Not a problem! Learn what golf swing faults you need to fix and what golf swing faults you can keep under control.
I won't teach you to totally rebuild your golf swing. It's easier to fix your golf swing than for you to learn a new one! Let's work with what you got and get you back on the golf course having a good time.
"Golf Tip of the Week" My golf tip this week is:
"Why It's So Difficult To Hit Your Driver."

PGA Touring Pro Analysis
• Tiger Woods - Analysis of Tigers Wood's golf swing before and after making
improvements with Butch Harmon
• Hale Irwin - Analysis of Hale Irwin, bad backswing...great downswing!
• Jim Furyk - Jim Furyk has a great golf swing! This will make you dizzy.
• Ernie Els - Notice how well Ernie Els rotates his forearms through the
impact zone in his golf swing.
• Sergio Garcia - Sergio Garcia is a great example of how you need to drop
your arms down first on the downswing, NOT spin the shoulders.
• Nick Price - Watch how Nick Price re-routes the golf club on the
downswing.
• Lady Pro - Siew - Notice how she drives here weight to her front foot causing
her to have to roll her hands quickly on the down swing to save a bail out to
the right.
• Bernhard Langer - See how Bernhard Langer's head goes backwards on the
downswing! Bernhard also leads with the back of his left hand because of
the strong left hand grip he has.
• BEN HOGAN - There ain't nothing new! Ben Hogan's swing is the same as
what you see today on tour. You still need to stay behind the golf ball.
• Brad Faxon - Brad Faxon is the best example of "shaft lean"
• Fuzzy Fuzzy Zoeller - Fuzzy is a great example of a body turning method
for swinging a golf club.
• Justin Rose - British player with a "we bit" of a hip problem and a little shut
at the top but not bad.
• Bubba Watson - High steep wide arc for long and high drives.
Typical Swing Fault Analysis
• Proper Example - PGA Tour Player Grant Waite
• Improving Right Shoulder Tilt - Lesson with Clyde Johnson
• Bad Set-Up - You have to start from the right position
• Chest Swinger - The arms MUST move quicker than the body
• Hands High At Address - Common set-up problem
• Place Head Behind the Ball - The club starts at your front shoulder!
• Underneath the Plane Takeaway - Difficult to recover from.
• Example of How You Can Revert Back After Improving - Maintenance!
• Sample Analysis for Pain - This is a sample lesson for a golfer who was
experiencing severe pain in his elbow and back.
• Palm Up, Scooping - Usually goes with "Over the Top"
• Over the Top Swing - Starting your downswing with your shoulders
• Sliding with Your Front Hip - Could make you reversed pivoted.
• Only the Downswing Count - The path to the ball will determine direction
• 90 Degree Spine Angle - Mandatory for a proper address set-up
• Beginner Lady - How quickly one can improve if you don't get too technical
• Open and Steep to the Plane - The most common fault I see.
• Getting Your Shoulder Behind the Ball - The second most common fault
• Reverse Pivot - The third most common fault...maybe it's tied for second with the shoulders...the problems are related.
• Developing Lag or Angular Acceleration - What you need to have for
distance.
