There is a lot of great instructional information on The Sand Trap.  Erik (iacas) and I have an outlet where we can share our thoughts about the golf swing, instruction, technology, professional tours called Swing Thoughts .  And t o illustrate poor instruction we have the Comics Thread . The purpose of this thread will be to further theoretical discussion and learning from other quality instructors. The only requirement for this thread is that the instructors know the Ball Flight Laws .

For the best videos go here ;-)

If you wish to post a link to an article or a video please be very, very picky about the information .  In other words there won't be any "roll the toe over" to hit a draw type of Fantasy Instruction .  We want to share quality information from instructors that base their information in the understandings of geometry, physics and anatomy.  If you're not sure, then message me.  We also won't delete any videos.


I'll start it off with these great videos from Dana Dahlqusit, Mario Bevilacqua, Martin Chuck and Jeff Evans.

Thank you Mike. Mario's video is one of the best I've ever seen.

Not exactly light entertainment, but I have learned a great deal from Joe Mayo's "TrackMan Fundamentals" videos.

Thanks for the great share. Learning golf by watching youtube videos is really nice. More people should do that, it helps you to get better results in your game.

Good info for all.  About club face and path relationship and how you don't want a "square" club face at impact

Mario your video of a flat left wrist has helped me hit solid shots again along with the others instructors' videos.  I now have the desire to play golf again.  Thanks again everyone

Oh man, that Bobby Eldrige drives me nuts. Classic example of a guy who may be able to play good golf but obviously has NO IDEA how he does it! Giggle fest every time!

Scary thing is, there are far more instructors like him than their are good guys.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I like this one about where to go looking when you're hitting it funky.

    • I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.
    • I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours
    • Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though. 
    • This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.
    • I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
