Golf is a high skill dependent game which means that no matter what technique you have, you will require a high level of skill to excel at it. In my experience the difference between the very best players and your average club golfer, is the level of understanding of their own technique and how that affects their ability to control the skills needed.
With this in mind I see coaching as the following process:
I see a lot of Coaches who do the first 4 steps but without the final 2 players tend to stagnate and never reach their potential. I always explain that a better technique only opens up your level of potential, the correct practice habits allow you to reach it.
Right Sided Swing was invented by Gary Edwin and has produced numerous Tour Pros- most notably multiple PGA Tour winner Rod Pamplin. Who Tiger Woods described as having his favourite swing on Tour.
It focusses on recreating throwing or side on hitting shapes that we exhibit in other sports. Reducing the amount of lateral motion and tilting that happens in other models. These motions make it harder for players to control the basic skills, and is in my opinion the reason that so many amateurs leave the game thinking it’s too hard.
By making the skills of strike and face control easier, it allows players to control trajectory and dispersion of shots better. Less lost balls, less double bogeys and more Birdie Putts. It transformed my game taking my Iron play from -1.2 SG on average from 2014-2022 to +1.3 SG on average from 2022-2025!
Every bad shot ever hit is down to an inability to control one of these fundamental skills. Like any skill, there is some element of eye hand co-ordination and some element of technique. So my belief is that a Golf Coach’s job is to isolate any inconsistent technical aspects of the motion, address them and give the student a framework to improve their skill level around.
Having this belief allows me to coach players of any level of ability and get the same great results.
