Hi everyone!

The long awaited Rhythm Training video and Music is finally here!! I have the pleasure of introducing all of you to Jordan Evans and Matthew Bennett who won a Grammy Award this Year for writing and producing music on Eminem's latest album; These guys are rhythm experts and I was able to get this amazing opportunity to get 2 beautiful pieces of music written for the golf swing from the Putter to the Driver.

There are 2 Melodies and a whole series of cool beats from 40 to 70 BPM that match up every club and swing in the game; ready for you to download to your Ipod and take to the range and golf course; I made a great video series to go with this so that you can train your body to acquire the skills it needs to be efficient in the golf swing. Doing it to these beats and tunes is a real treat and I know you will love it.

Here is a gift from me to you this Holiday season in giving thanks with a part one and part 2 full warm up with these rhythms; this will get you humming so nicely before heading out to the course and will be the best transition for you from the office or traffic to the golf course. :)

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

It is called "C No Evil" and was created by fellow Canadian PGA Teacher Ron Lampman. This devise camouflages the ball under a makeshift mini garage door or mini covered car park to remove the ball from your focus and allow you to make your practice swing through this car park and then place a ball under it and be able to repeat your practice swing without feeling the need to hit the ball; truly wonderful results with our students here at the Richmond Hill Golf Learning Centre with our beginners as well as the golfers who have been trying to hit at the ball for so long; it is amazing how it helps change the focus to swinging through to the target and you can imagine how happy this makes me as a teacher!

The benefits go through the whole gamut of shots from the putter to the driver with all sorts of incredibly positive reinforcements and visuals depending on where you place the ball vs the apparatus; again, putting was a breeze when you only had to let the arm-putter unit swing through the garage door and out came the ball perfectly square to the intended line; the driver was especially fun where you tee up the ball well ahead of the unit, leave the club under the unit and have to come back down under the unit in the downswing before coming back up to catch the ball on the true upswing; really cool stuff!

Here are a couple of videos to introduce the product; more to come later as we have fun teaching with it!

Hi everyone! Just finished a nice week with Edouard, who shadowed many of my lessons this week and realized a few important things about his grip and how it was short circuiting his swing; enjoy!

Here is Part 1
Here is Part 2

I just uploaded 2 new videos that show you how to use a grass whip to train and then to get the feel and focus needed to perform on course; here in Canada, Home Hardware sells and has about 300 in stock as we speak and they are only $15.99!

Here is the link for that one: Grass Whip

Here are the links to my videos both on the grass whip and related to the grass whip:

We had a chance to look at Lucas Glover's swing more closely since he has returned to the spotlight and thanks to Paul Davies, my #1, we have been having quite the fun time showing our students how much he should be emulated! Have a look at the videos below and you will see that he has a great hip turn with legs in tow in the backswing; although his transition with the driver looks a bit fast, it would be very easy to fix! See how well he anchors his release with his right foot through impact!

He keeps that left wrist a bit too stiff going back but has a nice "down cocking" of the wrists in the downswing which loads the arm-club unit quite well. Enjoy!
