Alan’s belief is you do not need to be a golf expert to see that even the best players in the world do not all hold or swing the golf club in exactly the same way. Traditional instruction techniques tell us in order to improve, you must first obtain the perfect golf swing.In order to find the perfect golf swing you have to follow an ever growing, extensive checklist.

 

Alan’s approach to coaching is a simple one which works on skill building and game improvement. 

Not some quick swing fixes that initially provide you marginal improvement but which ultimately add to the checklist, leaving you feeling more frustrated and confused.
