My New YouTube Channel to Help Golfers

I have started a new YouTube Channel titled, strangely enough, "Fix Your Own Golf Swing."  My plans for it include posting only videos that I personally approve of that are short, simple, and good solid advice that can help you.

No Big Names

You won't see names that you are really familiar with because in all honesty most of the stuff posted by the "The Teachers to the Tour Players" are self promoting sales pitches that are long on hype and short on worth while content.

There are many great teachers out there that are very successful and quietly go about their business of helping the average golfer and don't spend small fortunes on marketing and self promotion.  Fortunately I am in a position to find them and get exposed to there teaching.

These are the people I will be promoting and are actually people that would be willing to help you if you feel the need.

Just Getting Started

I only have a couple of videos posted at the moment, but will be adding more daily.  In the case of long videos I will edit them to get just the essential information.  For some reason most guys seem to think they need to make videos are thirty minutes long when the important content is usually just a few minutes.

A Sample 

 

Here is a sample of the content I will have on my channel that a friend of mine posted In a Facebook group that we are both members of.  Loved it and asked if I could use it.

Fixing the Over-the-Top Move Part 1

I hope this catches on so I can showcase good videos from really good teachers.  You can help by subscribing to my blog and or my video channel.

Thanks!

My New Blog

I wanted to introduce you to my new blog.  I created it for the sole purpose of helping golfers from beginner level to 15+ handicap enjoy the game more.  The title of the blog says it all.  Finding a good coach is still the best way to improve, but I realize that it is difficult to do.

So, if you don't already have someone, let me become your online coach and help you to help yourself become a better golfer and enjoy the game more.

I encourage you to subscribe to the blog so that you can leave comments and ask questions.  Your input will determine what this blog becomes and the topics I present here.  It want be totally instruction.  Some of my blogger friends will contribute articles that I am sure you will find entertaining, educational, and informative.

I am a Life Member of the PGA of America with over forty years of experience in the Golf Industry.  I have spent much of his career teaching/coaching golfers of all ability levels from tour players to beginners.  I have developed a very simple old school approach to the golf swing that I refer to as minimalist.  I only give you the minimum amount of information you need to improve.  I love technology, but only when it is useful.  I don't believe anyone needs a computer to fix a slice or a hook.  I also believe golf can be much less confusing, much easier, and more fun.

I have an insatiable curiosity and love of logic.  I was the kid most teachers didn't like because I always wanted to know why and just because they said so wasn't good enough.  This probably derives from the fact that I am a member of a group that only has about 1200 members world wide and requires an IQ in the 99th percentile for membership.

Early in his career I was fortunate enough to spend time with the great Mickey Wright, Harvey Penick, and Ben Hogan.  I have also been fortunate enough to have been associated with winners of multiple tour events and several majors.

My approach to coaching the golf swing has been primarily influenced by the legendary John Jacobs.  My philosophy is built around two statements –

“Never tell them more than they absolutely need to know” and “Anyone that can't explain the golf swing in a simple, easy to understand fashion is not an "expert".  They are just knowledgeable.”

Some of you may already know me as Sam W Adams - especially on Facebook - and Essentially Golf.
