I am 67 years old, retired and living "the good life"
in the Dominican Republic. Only in the past two years have I taken
up golf, and only in recent months have I gained the confidence
to actually play.
My problem heretofore had been understanding the "release".
Of course, I read as much as I can on the subject, discuss it with
friends (not too many have any interest in dwelling on intricate
fundamentals of the swing), and attempt to practice it in my backyard,
and at the driving range. But not until reading your blog on the
subject, have I BEGUN to understand what is necessary to create
a near-perfect release.
Recognizing, of course, that many others have been similarly
lucky to read your writing, but perhaps had not the time to thank
you, I now do this for "who knows" how many thousands
of eager golf amateurs!

All I can say is "WOW!". With all the mis-information
on what is perceived as the golf swing, you actually know the dynamics
of the swing and are able to describe it in clear text.
Before reading your free (I can't believe it's
free) information on your web-site, golf frustrated me (this is
my 3rd year). I always considered myself athletic and have always
been able to excel in most sports...except golf.
After 1 week of practice, I went from a 55 to
a 47 on the front 9 (too dark yet to play all 18)!
Simply amazing. No one has ever instructed me
about the reverse hip movement, body center turn, holding the arms
close together or the most important for me, relaxation of the arm
muscles (I call it spaghetti arms (cooked of course!).
The reverse hip movement while keeping my arm
muscles completely relaxed during the down-swing seems to load my
cocked wrist. I know you don't like to talk about distance, but
the first time I hit my 8 iron 150 yards and then kept hitting it
150 yards, I had to double check my club....yup, it's an 8 iron.
People were actually stopping and watching me hit the ball. My chipping
and putting has also dramatically improved (the most important part
of the game). I only 3-putted one time and I am consistently dropping
6-footers thanks to your 45-degree arms tucked against your body.
It's so simple, but very effective. I can't thank
you enough.

" I wanted to tell you that I think your
website has been the single best instructional material I have read
and used in 20 years plus of playing this game called golf "
" After practising your lessons and trusting
the techniques, I began to hit the best shots of my golfing "career"
"I have never been so confident in my ability
to repeat the process you teach. Today, my "bad" swings
are more productive as a rule, than the better shots with my old
swing"
"I can get witnesses to this change, who
are well aware of what caused the change"

" I would like to congratulate you on your
insight in regards to this Hip Pivot -- In all my studies I don`t
believe I`ve seen it so precisely defined"

"I have been scouring the web for approximately
two years trying out different "golf methods and philosophies"
"I can honestly say that to date, you have
had the most beneficial insights."
"What's so amazing is that I have a friend
who is a Plus 2 handicap (two strokes better than par). He's also
a full time music teacher at our local high school.
Many years back he would get up at 5 'o'clock
am, and go out in his garage and dissect the golf swing. I think
he has a nicer swing than Ben Hogan. He tried his best to communicate
to me how he was swinging. He swings like you do".
"But thanks to you, I finally understand
how to accomplish the golf swing"

"Your "play perfect golf" site
is the most informative and comprehensive instruction to understanding
the golf swing that I have found on the Internet".

"I was a 9 handicapped golfer and have been
playing golf for about 5 years -- but was never able to hit two
good shots in a row"
"I saw your website and had a bad summer
and my handicap went up to 13, but I stuck with it and low and behold
now I am playing off 3 -- golf is a good game now, thanks to you
it is a lot better."
I want you to know how much "perfect golf"
did for my golf game"

"Since I took up golf in June 2002 I have
studied, practised, had lessons and achieved little"
"As a good sportsman I was determined not
to let it defeat me or get me down and to press on, so far to no
avail - Ive been waiting, almost on a daily basis, for something
to go "PING" and I would all of a sudden just "get-it" and start
to hit the ball straight, and cleanly"
"Well something has just gone ping, and
overnight I have now "got - it".
I ve spent the last 3 days devouring and digesting
your web site and I want to tell you that you have succeeded where
Leadbetter, Hogan have all failed. I now understand !!
"I'm sure that all the books are trying
(without success) to convey the message that you have done;
The difference is that you make sense, and your
message and the actions you so brilliantly describe travelled successfully
into my brain."
Thank You !!

"This morning I returned from the driving
range with a broad smile on my face, thanks to implementing the
hip movement into my swing. I've not been playing for very long,
but I noticed an immediate improvement in my swing after a few practice
shots"
"I tried to imagine that I was 12 years
old and that I needed to use my hips to generate more swing, and
all I can say is "what an improvement!".
"My shots feel more controlled and I don't
need much of a backswing to generate the same ball distance"
"Next on the list is Lesson 2 - the Upper
body turn"
"Thank you very much for taking the time
to offer such an excellent web site"
"You have really made my day"
W.R.C. Surrey
" just to congratulate you for your work"
"It is very interesting and goes further
than one of the best golf books I read; Joe Dante's Four better
moves to better golf (1962) who also insisted on the arms doing
nothing"
"I like the way you make me advance from
the ground up because stability and balance are really overlooked".
J.C.G.
"I've been following your lessons for a
number of months now and have found them extremely useful; I have
been playing/hacking for a year now and have always know that my
swing was bad"
"I have tried many other publications but
have not found one that explains the swing mechanics in a way that
I could fully appreciate.
I did have a classic swing and was able to produce
good distance and some accuracy, however I was inconsistent"
"I have always started the swing from my
arms and my arms dominated my swing and have found it very difficult
to overcome this; your lessons and exercise have now allowed me
to final start playing golf properly"
"Thanks you very much".
A.K. London
" I wanted to drop you a quick note to say
what a wonderful website you've developed. I've thoroughly studied
your first lesson about the hip pivotal movement and all I can say
is, WOW!
I performed the drills that you prescribed, then
went to the range eagerly anticipating an improved golf swing. I
wasn't disappointed.
The first thing I noticed was that I was making
more consistent contact with the ball. The number of "missed" golf
shots decreased dramatically.
Not only was I hitting the ball more consistently,
but when I found the "sweet spot", the ball really flew off the
club face"
