Recommended Posts

Golf instructors like to do things step by step. Although I understand, but that stretches the amount a person needs to pay for private lessons (or semi private) to a lot of money.

My question is: is there an online teacher with videos that is able to show the advanced things. Right from the beginning. A paid instructor videos are ok. with those videos I could examine myself if I am doing well or not.

Through video recording, launch monitor, etc See if there is an improvement, etc.

 

Any good online golf instructor with videos) that is highly recommended? Thank you very much.

I don’t think you understand how teaching works.

I just want to make sure I understand what you are looking for.

Are you looking for a totally on-line program... something like Tathata Golf. Which teaches you step by step to build a swing?

Are you looking for a live coach which you could go see and then work on stuff yourself, sending videos back and forth, until you go see him/her again?

Are you looking for a series of Youtube-type videos that are free to access? 

Am I totally off and you are looking for something else?

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Online teacher, perhaps with added bonus to able to ask the teacher for help, by sending video.

It is paid, that is ok if the teacher addresses all things important. but of course if there is a free versions of giving in depth knowledge of how to golf, that would be great.

Youtube might tell things, but it is soo scattered into small bits , and I as a beginner don;t even know which bits are good, and which bits are actually not good to learn.

The problem with YouTube videos, the videos aren't specific for "your" (proverbial) needs.  Usually the student doesn't even know what the real underlying issues are with their golf swing.    When I first started taking lessons I told the instructor I wanted to be more consistent!   The problem was, I was already consistent.   I was consistently gripping the club wrong, leaving pressure on the trail foot and other mistakes that make a golf swing good.   

I believe you'll find many confused golfers that have went down the YouTube rabbit hole.

I have a little more time to elaborate on what I had said earlier.

There are some golf instructors who will "begin at square one" and will draw things out to make some more money. Sometimes these instructors have a "system" and you have to do the early parts before they let you move on, often it's "easier" for them to fit everything into the same pattern or swing, etc.

But that's not how good instruction works.

I take the strengths a person has and attack the priority "piece" or problem. Often this begins early (at address position, or during the backswing), because improvements to those things have downstream effects. But it's not for the purpose of drawing out lessons or making more money, even as a side benefit let alone as a primary driver for the reason(s).

Not sure what you mean about "advanced things." You are new here, so we don't know much about your game. Generally speaking, though, if you want to play your best golf… you're better off finding an instructor you like and working with them, not trying to learn as much about "the golf swing" as you can. That generally just leads to confusion and slows your progress.

I read this as you want to find an instructor that created a set of videos that you can follow to build a golf swing.

If so, consider maybe… 

If you're interested in specific golf lessons for you… a number of members here (and golfers who aren't even members here) are doing well with us at:

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
