You have heard that the Golf Channel is doing an Instructor Search and I wanted to let you know that I did apply and sent in a video.
You will find it at www.thegolfchannel.com/instructorsearch and will see it in the featured video section.

I would appreciate a nice thumbs up vote on your behalf to get their attention!

Shawn gets interviewed by the highly acclaimed Gotham Golf Blog’s Ralph Perez, check it out at Gotham Golf Blog.

Ralph takes great pleasure in finding the best teachers that are not on the top 100 teacher’s list in today’s big 2 Golf Digest and Golf Magazine.  This helps the up and comers develop their stage and attract the attention of the students of the game who have not otherwise realized that there are more options out there for golf instruction.

Not only that, these students become very thankful when they get the understanding that when selling magazines is out of the equation, solid golf instruction can take place without any filters!

The topics of conversation with Shawn include his experience as a tour professional, his stable of students, his ability to break par from both sides of the ball, where he learned about human anatomy, how Shawn views today’s teaching technology and the biggest issues with today’s golfer.

Enjoy!

We need to realize that the set up has to be in relation to us swinging to a target or complete picture (Where we want to start the ball and where we want it to end); this affects grip and club face relationships as well as distance to ball and ball position in the stance.  What we see often times in different instruction articles is a set up that is in relation to swinging at the ball; and this is where the confusion comes in massive quantities.

I want everyone to know that my teachings are related to swinging to a target and not at the ball, THE BALL IS NOT THE TARGET! These two videos will help:

When we swing towards a picture or target, we need to be very clear about what we are looking at; if while we are addressing the ball we see only a ball, we are in deep trouble!  You can put the spot light on anything you want!

These 2 videos will help you understand that when you look down on the ball it is only to confirm that it, and the ground in front of it, are in the way of you swinging freely to your target!  Then when you are getting ready to allow for the swing to happen, your gaze at the ball softens and the target appears very clearly in your mind; you cannot swing and look directly at the target at the same time - don't even try that!  It is anatomically impossible for a human neck to do this...:)

Being with Geoff Mangum is a real treat!  You have to see his American Indian History on his website at www.puttingzone.com! Geoff is not only one of the world's authorities on the Human Brain, he is also a world's authority on Human Evolution!  See how our "self-preserving" instincts make it impossible for you to miss in golf!

I wanted to thank Geoff for his terrific work and validation in these next 2 videos:
