Instruction
Answers to the 6 hottest debates in golf instruction
Social media outlets such as Twitter provide an entire new channel to absorb a wide range of golf information, and offers a convenient place for teachers and golfers to argue, too.
As an active Twitter user, I try to read as much as I can regarding the trends and ideas teachers are touting on social media. Some deal with how to swing, others deal with swing positions that are better than others, and my favorite is the debate about technology from old-school and new-school teachers.
Covered in this article are a few of the most debated topics on social media, and my thoughts on the subjects (which are more than 140 characters).
Fitness or Not?
Do swing models work?
One of the biggest arguments between teachers in the golf industry is the swing model concept. There are many people in the golf instruction world who believe their method is better than everything else out there today, and will fight to the grave to prove that it is.
Homer Kelley, in The Golfing Machine, figured out that there were more than 446 quadrillion ways to swing the club (thanks to Top-100 Teacher, Ron Gring for the math), so in my mind there are millions of ways to swing efficiently. I try not to teach the same swing model to everyone, but I will say that there are a few stroke patterns that I teach more often than others. So I don’t teach one model swing; I try and teach a few of them so I can work around the inefficiencies of each player without getting stuck.
The flexibility that comes with teaching multiple patterns is quite useful; it allows a person’s natural motion to stay reasonably intact as they work on their game. And secondly, trying to “re-build” a club golfer’s swing from ground zero tends to be too laborious. Too often they’re forced to play “in between patterns” because of the big change. And there’s no guarantee better scores are on the other side.
Is technology dangerous?
One of the most energized topics is the debate between the old school and new school teaching methods, with Trackman being at the center of the debate. Some experts say Trackman is bad and it’s ruining players because they are playing “golf swing,” not golf. I agree to a point. Other teachers (like me), will tell you that nothing has helped them on the lesson tee more than Trackman.
But let’s discuss the difference.
After all, this IS the information age for golf instruction, as there has never been more information readily available regarding how the body, club and ball react during the swing. While I will say that knowledge is power, I will also tell you that it comes with inherent danger; too much information can hamper a player’s development.
I don’t think technology is wholly bad, regardless of what type you use. But I will say technology used during a lesson is ONLY as good as the person who uses it. If I cannot insulate my players from the information they don’t need to know, then it’s not the technology’s fault, it’s mine!
Trackman is not the issue; it’s HOW it’s used that is the issue. You can use technology and Trackman to teach “feels” or you can tie students into knots. It’s entirely up to the teacher to properly use this amazing technology.
Do you play “golf” or “golf swing”
As briefly mentioned above, have we as a golf community become too focused on playing “golf swing” and not “golf?”
I whole-heartedly believe we have!
It’s not the fault of the players, however. With the advent of affordable technology, golfers can understand more than they ever have and many want this information at their fingertips. This is the age of instant gratification; information about anything is just a touch of a button away. If Teacher A won’t give it to them, then Teacher B will. It’s extremely difficult to make a student slow down enough to learn golf in the old school way with new school technology. So for a while, we may just have to accept that people will play “golf swing” until the masses understand that this is NOT the way to shoot lower scores. The golf world is full of great ball-strikers who can’t score. Why? Because they learned how to play “golf swing” instead of golf.
Figure out what is most important to you; a great swing or a great score. There isn’t a wrong answer, unless of course you’re trying to make a living from playing the game.
What’s a better swing position?
On Twitter, I see threads about this position or that position being better than the other because “X” player did it or “Y” player did it. Two of the most contested positions right now are locking the right knee at the top (versus keeping it flexed) and bowing the left wrist during the transition. And next week it will be something different.
While I have explained my stance on the swing models above, comparing the positions that pros get into and what amateurs should get into isn’t necessarily beneficial. The guys at the top levels of their game could have been great players and tournament winners with ANY swing you put them into. Let’s take Tiger Woods for example. He’s won with many different swings. Why? Because he is a highly skilled golfer and athlete, and was able to understand and monitor those swings. Most club golfers just cannot do this.
Just because someone pulls a bunch of photos off the internet and shows you that player X,Y, and Z is in a certain position does NOT make it the correct position for YOU.
Who is the “best teacher” in golf today?
Simple, the best teacher for you is the one who helps you shoot the lowest scores. Period. I don’t care if you use very little technology or a bunch, the goal is to shoot lower scores and that’s all that matters.
Sometimes for Tour Players it takes a teacher like Butch Harmon who says, “Man you are hitting it like Tiger and Norman did in their prime.” This can give them the confidence to go out and win. Or sometimes they need to listen to the science and psychology of a teacher like Sean Foley who says, “You are swinging the best you ever have and I have the data to prove it to you right here.”
There are different teachers for different players. Find the one who is best for you and your game, and they can be the best teacher in the world for you.
There may be no more painful affliction in golf than the “yips” – those uncontrollable and maddening little nervous twitches that prevent you from making a decent stroke on short putts. If you’ve never had them, consider yourself very fortunate (or possibly just very young). But I can assure you that when your most treacherous and feared golf shot is not the 195 yard approach over water with a quartering headwind…not the extra tight fairway with water left and sand right…not the soft bunker shot to a downhill pin with water on the other side…No, when your most feared shot is the remaining 2- 4-foot putt after hitting a great approach, recovery or lag putt, it makes the game almost painful.
And I’ve been fighting the yips (again) for a while now. It’s a recurring nightmare that has haunted me most of my adult life. I even had the yips when I was in my 20s, but I’ve beat them into submission off and on most of my adult life. But just recently, that nasty virus came to life once again. My lag putting has been very good, but when I get over one of those “you should make this” length putts, the entire nervous system seems to go haywire. I make great practice strokes, and then the most pitiful short-stroke or jab at the ball you can imagine. Sheesh.
But I’m a traditionalist, and do not look toward the long putter, belly putter, cross-hand, claw or other variation as the solution. My approach is to beat those damn yips into submission some other way. Here’s what I’m doing that is working pretty well, and I offer it to all of you who might have a similar affliction on the greens.
When you are over a short putt, forget the practice strokes…you want your natural eye-hand coordination to be unhindered by mechanics. Address your putt and take a good look at the hole, and back to the putter to ensure good alignment. Lighten your right hand grip on the putter and make sure that only the fingertips are in contact with the grip, to prevent you from getting to tight.
Then, take a long, long look at the hole to fill your entire mind and senses with the target. When you bring your head/eyes back to the ball, try to make a smooth, immediate move right into your backstroke — not even a second pause — and then let your hands and putter track right back together right back to where you were looking — the HOLE! Seeing the putter make contact with the ball, preferably even the forward edge of the ball – the side near the hole.
For me, this is working, but I am asking all of you to chime in with your own “home remedies” for the most aggravating and senseless of all golf maladies. It never hurts to have more to fall back on!
Over the last couple of decades, golf has become much more science-based. We measure swing speed, smash factor, angle of attack, strokes gained, and many other metrics that can really help golfers improve. But I often wonder if the advancement of golf’s “hard” sciences comes at the expense of the “soft” sciences.
Take, for example, golf instruction. Good golf instruction requires understanding swing mechanics and ball flight. But let’s take that as a given for PGA instructors. The other factors that make an instructor effective can be evaluated by social science, rather than launch monitors.
If you are a recreational golfer looking for a golf instructor, here are my top three points to consider.
1. Cultural mindset
What is “cultural mindset? To social scientists, it means whether a culture of genius or a culture of learning exists. In a golf instruction context, that may mean whether the teacher communicates a message that golf ability is something innate (you either have it or you don’t), or whether golf ability is something that can be learned. You want the latter!
It may sound obvious to suggest that you find a golf instructor who thinks you can improve, but my research suggests that it isn’t a given. In a large sample study of golf instructors, I found that when it came to recreational golfers, there was a wide range of belief systems. Some instructors strongly believed recreational golfers could improve through lessons. while others strongly believed they could not. And those beliefs manifested in the instructor’s feedback given to a student and the culture created for players.
2. Coping and self-modeling can beat role-modeling
Swing analysis technology is often preloaded with swings of PGA and LPGA Tour players. The swings of elite players are intended to be used for comparative purposes with golfers taking lessons. What social science tells us is that for novice and non-expert golfers, comparing swings to tour professionals can have the opposite effect of that intended. If you fit into the novice or non-expert category of golfer, you will learn more and be more motivated to change if you see yourself making a ‘better’ swing (self-modeling) or seeing your swing compared to a similar other (a coping model). Stay away from instructors who want to compare your swing with that of a tour player.
3. Learning theory basics
It is not a sexy selling point, but learning is a process, and that process is incremental – particularly for recreational adult players. Social science helps us understand this element of golf instruction. A good instructor will take learning slowly. He or she will give you just about enough information that challenges you, but is still manageable. The artful instructor will take time to decide what that one or two learning points are before jumping in to make full-scale swing changes. If the instructor moves too fast, you will probably leave the lesson with an arm’s length of swing thoughts and not really know which to focus on.
As an instructor, I develop a priority list of changes I want to make in a player’s technique. We then patiently and gradually work through that list. Beware of instructors who give you more than you can chew.
So if you are in the market for golf instruction, I encourage you to look beyond the X’s and O’s to find the right match!
Most pros take months, even years, to win their first tournament. Lottie Woad needed exactly four days.
The 21-year-old from Surrey shot 21-under 267 at Dundonald Links to win the ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open by three shots — in her very first event as a professional. She’s only the third player in LPGA history to accomplish this feat, joining Rose Zhang (2023) and Beverly Hanson (1951).
But here’s what caught my attention as a coach: Woad didn’t win through miraculous putting or bombing 300-yard drives. She won through relentless precision and unshakeable composure. After watching her performance unfold, I’m convinced every golfer — from weekend warriors to scratch players — can steal pages from her playbook.
Precision Beats Power (And It’s Not Even Close)
Forget the driving contests. Woad proved that finding greens matters more than finding distance.
What Woad did:
• Hit it straight, hit it solid, give yourself chances
• Aimed for the fat parts of greens instead of chasing pins
• Let her putting do the talking after hitting safe targets
• As she said, “Everyone was chasing me today, and managed to maintain the lead and played really nicely down the stretch and hit a lot of good shots”
Why most golfers mess this up:
• They see a pin tucked behind a bunker and grab one more club to “go right at it”
• Distance becomes more important than accuracy
• They try to be heroic instead of smart
ACTION ITEM: For your next 10 rounds, aim for the center of every green regardless of pin position. Track your greens in regulation and watch your scores drop before your swing changes.
The Putter That Stayed Cool Under Fire
Woad started the final round two shots clear and immediately applied pressure with birdies at the 2nd and 3rd holes. When South Korea’s Hyo Joo Kim mounted a charge and reached 20-under with a birdie at the 14th, Woad didn’t panic.
How she responded to pressure:
• Fired back with consecutive birdies at the 13th and 14th
• Watched Kim stumble with back-to-back bogeys
• Capped it with her fifth birdie of the day at the par-5 18th
• Stayed patient when others pressed, pressed when others cracked
What amateurs do wrong:
• Get conservative when they should be aggressive
• Try to force magic when steady play would win
• Panic when someone else makes a move
ACTION ITEM: Practice your 3-6 foot putts for 15 minutes after every range session. Woad’s putting wasn’t spectacular—it was reliable. Make the putts you should make.
Course Management 101: Play Your Game, Not the Course’s Game
Woad admitted she couldn’t see many scoreboards during the final round, but it didn’t matter. She stuck to her game plan regardless of what others were doing.
Her mental approach:
• Focused on her process, not the competition
• Drew on past pressure situations (Augusta National Women’s Amateur win)
• As she said, “That was the biggest tournament I played in at the time and was kind of my big win. So definitely felt the pressure of it more there, and I felt like all those experiences helped me with this”
Her physical execution:
• 270-yard drives (nothing flashy)
• Methodical iron play
• Steady putting
• Everything effective, nothing spectacular
ACTION ITEM: Create a yardage book for your home course. Know your distances to every pin, every hazard, every landing area. Stick to your plan no matter what your playing partners are doing.
Mental Toughness Isn’t Born, It’s Built
The most impressive part of Woad’s win? She genuinely didn’t expect it: “I definitely wasn’t expecting to win my first event as a pro, but I knew I was playing well, and I was hoping to contend.”
Her winning mindset:
• Didn’t put winning pressure on herself
• Focused on playing well and contending
• Made winning a byproduct of a good process
• Built confidence through recent experiences:
- Won the Women’s Irish Open as an amateur
- Missed a playoff by one shot at the Evian Championship
- Each experience prepared her for the next
What this means for you:
• Stop trying to shoot career rounds every time you tee up
• Focus on executing your pre-shot routine
• Commit to every shot
• Stay present in the moment
ACTION ITEM: Before each round, set process goals instead of score goals. Example: “I will take three practice swings before every shot” or “I will pick a specific target for every shot.” Let your score be the result, not the focus.
The Real Lesson
Woad collected $300,000 for her first professional victory, but the real prize was proving that fundamentals still work at golf’s highest level. She didn’t reinvent the game — she simply executed the basics better than everyone else that week.
The fundamentals that won:
• Hit more fairways
• Find more greens
• Make the putts you should make
• Stay patient under pressure
That’s something every golfer can do, regardless of handicap. Lottie Woad just showed us it’s still the winning formula.
FINAL ACTION ITEM: Pick one of the four action items above and commit to it for the next month. Master one fundamental before moving to the next. That’s how champions are built.

Excellent article. If we are after answers and the truth, read on. The vast majority of golfers are playing for fun. To try to improve and have great times whilst playing and practising. However, top pro’s, club pro’s and elite amateurs apart, golfers are not improving. Lots of effort going in, not much result coming out. I know, I know, we hate this fact. There is no poor equipment out there any longer, so it’s not that. It’s so obvious, but rarely discussed. Look, the vast majority of golfers have little idea about what they are trying to achieve. They’re going to the next ball with often a hotchpotch of ideas. Sometimes insanity intervenes, where golf instructors are ratyed “best in the world” and “top 100 instructor”. Measured by whom exactly? If you want results, a clear understanding what to do, consider this…. the best golf instructor I worked with you have never heard of. Superb communicator, the fewest words for the clearest description, perfectly demonstrated. Technically spot on. Best results from newcomers also from instructors you have never heard of – 2 hours instruction, set-up routine, good grip, posture maintained during swing till impact, decent body turn, control over weight to create ball then turf contact, control over swing radius, backside of ball struck, clubface control, on plane on path. That’s 2 hours, a no-name golf instructor, not a launch monitor in sight, the golfer was nothing special but the instructor was brilliant. Most importantly, the player was having fun and was not being taken for a ride. Pass me a soapbox, I could go on for hours on this subject.

I just want to hit the ball further without back pain later.. I have lost 10 to 15 yards in the last 2 years. I worry that if I swing harder it will hurt my back. But enough with that . I find that some get stuck on wanting to look like a pro in their swing while their distance and direction suffers. I think video helps in ways to cross check along with swing tech data. But each should take things that shows a performance improvement without getting too much into tech by forcing it . Confidence , health and expectations
are always something to figure into your golf swing .

Pro — (par / birdie) score for coming at the subject from a neutral standpoint. ( double bogey / snowman) score for providing factually incorrect information regarding the information stated from one-half (aka one camp) of the two-sided disagreement regarding Right Leg/Knee (action/position) on the backswing. Obviously you either did not pay attention or you’re not understanding the concept. Based on their standpoint and concept at no time did they ever communicate locking the right leg / knee on the backswing. I cannot emphasize that strongly enough. They DO NOT want you lock right leg/knee. What they are saying is that there is a change in Flex of the right leg/knee. There is a huge difference between a change in flax and locking. Personally I think you owe your readers a clarification on that important fact.

Excellent article Tom! As a “golf newbie” I enjoy all the info…..it is the information age and once a golfer understands and is able produce an optimal “club path” and “face angle” (with the aid of a decent instructor +/- a Trackman) they’re off to the races. If they can’t do that for whatever reason, then get a set of SGI clubs,do the “home swing” ,accept you won’t have a scratch handicap(play a bogey as “par”) and have fun.

Value systems can affect the “golf swing” vs “golf” tendencies. For example, a person with a high “aesthetic value” will tend towards the “golf swing”; whereas, a person with a high “results oriented value” will tend towards “golf”. Be nice to have both.

I am looking forward to reading chamblees book. Its basicaly going to rehash what Lucas Wald teaches as well as what Kelvin Miyahira teaches, but in a differnet words then what they used. As someone who has tried to conform to the drive/hold method (And seen massive distance gains), i certainly believe in using a designed method. Its tough to argue with a 20MPH improvement in club head speed. And straighter drives. And less back pain.

Mar 8, 2016 at 11:07 pm
Agreed. I took a lesson from Kelvin 2 years ago (after devouring his content) and dropped from high single digits to nothing and now competing with aspiring pros and “professional amateurs” in local compes. Not bad for a 50 year old. Plus, no pain! Brandel has definitely picked up on this teaching…

I have been a professional tennis instructor for forty years and have played golf for the last twenty. The parallels between the two sports are undeniable: follow basic fundamentals and then build a swing that works for you!!!!! If you aren’t 100 percent confident with your swing then doubts arise, fear sets in and bad results occur. The object of both sports are the same; hit in the court one more time than your opponent and get it in the hole one stroke sooner than the field. It doesn’t matter how pretty your swing looks if it produces good results. Remember, golf is a game of misses. Find a swing that limits your bad strikes and you will enjoy this great game for a lifetime!!!!

Feb 19, 2016 at 9:01 am
Great article, Tom! Most of your points hit the nail on the head. I’d like to take issue with a couple of details, but I agree with you on almost everything. Now the details:
*** “Swing model” does not mean the same thing as “model swing”. Your discussion refers to the “model swing” concept, but not to the “swing model”. (FYI, the term “swing model” refers to the mathematical models that biomechanics specialists use to analyze any golfer’s swing.)
*** As to “golf vs golf swing”, most serious golfers should indeed be less focused on golf swing and more on golf. But the majority of people I see out on the course NEED enough of a golf swing to have some idea where the ball is going to go. You can’t worry about golf until you have at least a somewhat competent golf swing. The golf vs golf swing debate assumes a level of competence that simply isn’t there for the novice golfers that we need in order to grow the game.
Thanks again for a great article.

Feb 19, 2016 at 2:47 am
Who cares. The question really should be, “Can you putt?”
Because any tournament player who can get to any Tour can hit the ball somehow, any which way they choose to swing. But can he putt?

Feb 19, 2016 at 2:51 am
Because nobody’s going to tell me how I shouldn’t swing or play like Zach Johnson. Why not? Yeah, exactly. Or Jim Furyk. Or Jordan Spieth. And even Jack Nicklaus or Arnold Palmer. All these funny, and funky, unique swings that have won Majors. Those are the swings that should be looked at, and not just their swings, but their overall game and course management and club choices and how and why.
That’s what’s wrong with all these pompous instructors and commentators on TV spouting garbage for the sake of filling the silence on TV.

Put a towel on the ground & pretend the front edge of the towel is a golf ball. Make a swing that misses the towel, but hits the ground after the towel. If you hit the towel or nothing at all, you better figure out how to get more weight on your front foot to start your downswing.

After many years, I still believe in fundamentals Nicklaus style. I’m not sure that methods work per se, they are more like a hair tonic. A swing like Sam Snead’s is timeless. If you want to copy Rory, you’d better be young, strong and flexible, otherwise, you’ll whiff it.
The great golfers of the past didn’t hit the gym, they had a different motion, they used their hips a lot, and they did rotate going back unlike the best players of today. I believe Snead’s or Tom Watson’s are swings to imitate for beginners or older golfers.

There are a lot of ways to swing a golf club but there is only one optimal way for the club to swing. All teachers should teach students to make the club move in that optimal fashion. If that constitutes a “Method” put me down as an advocate of method teaching.
Steve
prime21
Feb 18, 2016 at 5:05 pm
1 optimal way for the club to swing? Well, let’s see, you could swing it inside/out, outside/in, or neutral, so that would make 3. I’m pretty sure someone on tour has won at least once hitting a fade, a draw, & straight. Though, the latter would certainly be the least used or even attempted for that matter. Just out of curiosity though, what is this magical method that optimizes the way the club is swung??? Can you explain this to those of us who are obviously lacking the secret to golf, or will it remain a secret available to only those whom are part of The Optimal Swingers Club?????
Stretch
Feb 19, 2016 at 11:50 am
prime, the optimal way to swing a club is shown by the Iron Byron machine. That said there a lot of different styles that get the club head on the ball in an on the line square and solid strike.

If the goal is to get more players to play “golf” and not “golf swing,” then teachers should really build the swing around the player’s current level of athleticism and coordination, rather than trying to fit them into a model. Trackman should be used to illustrate what the “home” swing looks and feels like, then give them the feels to correct ball flight and contact issues on the course. After that, give the most forgiving set of clubs they can use (even SGI clubs) and tell them see your shot, hit your shot, and accept the results.
I know its anecdotal, but I spent years wasting away trying to build a swing that can handle forged Players Irons. It got to the point where on the course, all I thought was of swing positions. Maintenance of the swing was too time consuming. After internalizing “new ball flight laws” with Trackman findings and began using SGI’s and hybrids, I don’t have to worry about swing maintenance anymore. I hit the ball with my “home swing” and it goes. If it goes wrong, I rely on a “ball flight law” feel to fix it and use my short game to bail me out. My thoughts on the course are just seeing the ball flights and not swing position. Only now am I actually playing “golf” on the course. It took me a lot of years to get to this point, but it could be done a lot quicker for others if we emphasize the correct things.
prime21
Feb 18, 2016 at 5:20 pm
Thank you for…….NOTHING. What happens if a player is not athletic nor coordinated, do we simply not teach them, or do we tell them to take up fishing? You built a swing that could handle forged players irons? I have read really poor comments on here before, but this one is now the all time worst! Congrats! Whether a blade or a cavity back, isn’t the goal to always hit the center of the face? Or were you so good that you decided to hit it a little off the toe to draw it & a little off the heel to fade it? In the future, please resist the urge to post. I can never get those 15 seconds of my life back & not only did you waste my time, I am now officially dumbed for having read it. Tanks for nuttin Danny! Good luck with your home swing and Big Bertha irons!
