The arms pull the body into a turn. You can turn a lot and and still not get any coil. Turn in the wrong direction and you can’t swing your arms down. We have just uploaded Gary’s response to the question: Is it an Arm Swing or a Body Release? Enjoy!

Modern Power Options
Most golfers who have lack power try to generate speed with the club-head. The term ‘club-head speed’ is so bad in this case because it conjures up the idea of the club-head passing the hands! In this video Gary looks at few of the modern heavy hitters and goes through some power options that don’t […]
Behind the Ropes: Lytham and St Annes
Practice rounds are not always hard work! Dame Laura Davies is almost as good as Kel Nagle at hitting the intentional dome! Royal Lytham and St Anne’s is one of the most well respected courses in the Open rotation. Rebecca Artis played her first Major Championship at Royal Lytham nine years ago and was a little overwhelmed by […]
Fix the Chipping Horrors
It can happen to anyone! Constantly flubbing and skulling chip shots feels really bad! Even Tour Players occasionally get the chipping horrors and start to pull out the putter instead of the wedge. Many students find that the small chip from just off the green can become the hardest shot they face. If your set-up […]
Ground Force
If you are running for a tennis ball and it lands too deep into the court you can hit it by clearing your left side and falling backwards with your top half. Many Instructors advocate a similar motion in the golf swing! In this video Gary talks about ground forces, counter-balance and how to shift […]
Square to the Sternum
Keeping the club-face square to the sternum is not possible without the right posture at set-up. The club-face body relationship during the swing is the key to achieving True Loft at impact. When you get it right the club doesn’t flip and the arms do not have to extend and hit to the right. We […]
Wind at your Back
Hitting with the wind at your back is perhaps the most challenging shot in the game. If you turn correctly you can spin the ball into the wind and hold it up. If you don’t chances are you will be looking for it in the right rough. Many of our Tour Players have had trouble […]
Peter Senior Back and Ready!
Peter Senior returned to practice today after returning from a holiday in the USA. He was a little rusty but after a 30 minute session with Gary he is back and ready to play again. Pete is going to play next week in the Ian Weigh Toyota Rockhampton Pro-Am and has been invited to play in […]
Rebecca Artis into the Open
Rebecca Artis is now in the field for the Women’s British Open Championship in August. She finished inside the Top 25 on the Ladies European Tour Order of Merit with some great play earlier this year and is looking forward to playing the Royal Lytham & St Annes layout again. Rebecca had a solid finish […]
Leaning Toward the Target
If you lean the top half of your body toward the target on the way back it is almost impossible to shift correctly on the downswing. If you are falling back and can’t cover the ball, chances are that your top and bottom halves are in the reverse order! We have just uploaded a new […]
