The Method

The golf swing involves only three areas of the body.
Knowing how to coordinate these with a proper anatomic setup makes it happen.
Quite simply, you focus on extending and contracting one muscle, with the help of the rest of the body.
Any problems you have are easily identified because they stem from one of the three areas of the body.
The remainder is getting a feel for how far you want the ball to go.
Get this right and you will have a good golf swing.

Introduction of the Anatomic Swing Method: This portion includes anatomical illustrations of the three components of the body involved in the swing. The "swing muscle" is identified and by explaining how it functions, the golf swing is defined as an ellipse. The swing center is localized anatomically.
Introduction of five swing styles: A brief overview is given so that the student understands that the three components are used to build a limited number of swing styles that can be used for virtually any ball location and shot demand. Simplicity and practicality of the method is immediately understood.
Motion in space - Here the golf swing is compared with the motion of orbiting bodies in space including planets and comets. The laws of physics operating in the system are explained. An elliptical orbit is stressed as produced by the acceleration of gravity and the rotational force of the sun and the solar wind are also shown.
Putting and Chipping - These two swing styles are demonstrated and coached together because of their anatomic similarity. The set up is described simply and directly with the shoulder positioning or "set" being given major emphasis. The form and function of anatomy relative to this positioning shows one how to reproduce it consistently for every swing style. Here acceleration, arm position, and lie angle are put in perspective.
Introduction the other component: When the other components are brought into play, new considerations are brought into play which involve the shape of the swing added to the ellipse. One must now consider distance, spin, aerodynamics and how the many different forces are acting on the ball when struck. The reason for club fitting is demonstrated with a demonstration of different lie angles.
Waggles: The waggle should have a purpose and the anatomic method guides you through this action with a purpose. Now the student will get a sense of how to coordinate the three components in a fuller swing motion. Keeping the swing center stable along with some effects of swing errors will give the golfer insight into easy analysis when operating with a defined system.
Hand-Eye Coordination and Feel: Some general discussion here about what separates the men from the boys in ability level. Also how forced errors occur and why you can't help it. Plus how to think about feeling the club swing in your hands when you use your anatomy correctly.
Full Swing - Pitching - Lobbing: Graphs are drawn to emphasize the relative participation of the three components in each of these swing styles. They are coached and shown in demonstration form. Ball position variations are shown and how they might induce some anatomical adjustments.
Illustrations and Projected Anatomy: Review of some important anatomy showing relationships in action. Covered is the availibility of additional torque when developing power in the swing. You can see movement in developing momentum in the backswing and conducting action through transition in preparation for the foreswing.
