Brian Smith, PGA Golf Lessons

There are two types of golf instructors. The first type is called a Method Teacher. They believe that everyone should swing the club the same way. To me, this is like walking into a clothing store and grabbing the first pair of pants that you see and then proceed to the checkout. My style is a Matchup Teacher. The style selected for the student is based on many factors such as body type, flexibility, and skill level.

There are many well-known styles to choose from, all of which can be quite successful. The most common methods are a One Plane Swing, a Two Plane Swing, a Stack and Tilt Swing, and a Natural Golf Swing. Each swing type has a different set of principles. The principles which suit one swing type should never be used for another swing type.

Many golfers use a blend of more than one style. The successful teacher must proceed down the correct path for their student to be successful. This, I believe is the art of teaching golf. At the end of the day, golf is a game and games are for enjoyment. Helping my students to get more enjoyment out of their game is my goal.

Helping people improve quickly.
