Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy is based on analyzing ball flight and club impact as it relates to the swing plane and body pivot. I look at four components:
- Trajectory of the shot
- Curvature of the ball
- Contact point on the clubface
- Impact
One or more of these areas will stand out, allowing me to know the direction I need to take to begin to improve the student's swing.
The end goal is to improve the student's ball flight and impact by swinging the club on the correct swing plane. Using a proper setup and grip, and swinging the club along the swing plane they have established at address, allows them to hit straight, consistent golf shots.
If I can help my students enjoy themselves more by playing better golf, then I have accomplished my teaching goals.
