What is UNCOMPLICATED GOLF Instruction?
Theories and formulas on how to swing a golf club come and go...ask 100 teachers and you will get 100 different answers on how to hit a golf ball. The Uncomplicated Golf Academy doesn't teach anyone how to hit a golf ball, instead we teach everyone how to swing the golf club - a big difference. Every golf swing theory works for someone, but no swing theory works for everyone. The only learning approach that works for all golfers, is adhering to golf's time-tested fundamentals and learning naturally how to swing "your way." That's what Uncomplicated Golf Instruction delivers.
​
There's a lot going on in the game of golf with so many swing theories, formulas and methods. As a result, the tendency is to "think" too much. Golf is a "feel" game. When you are thinking you are not feeling. Science has proven when a person attempting to excel at a sport requiring motor skills, (eye-hand coordination) thinking how to perform that skill reduces the ability to perform it. Excessive thinking reduces coordination and is the most destructive force in golf.
If you could think a golf swing, Einstein would have been the best golfer ever - he didn't even like golf. With proper coaching you will learn to think less, improve visualization skills, enhance your club head feel and learn to control your physical motion naturally through proper practice routines. Ultimately, Uncomplicated Golf Instruction provides the tools and teaches you how to use them to develop the ability to experience a state of relaxed awareness under pressure, so you can play the game of golf at a peak performance level ... enjoying your true potential as a golfer.
​
Golf is a game of fundamentals, visualization, imagination and FEEL. Staring at the golf ball thinking about how to perform the motion, worrying about where the ball is going and trying not to embarrass yourself, simply does NOT work. The genius in golf is in your body - not in your mind. So you need to be in touch with what you are feeling, beginning with feeling the weight of the club head and the positioning of the club face, is it square, open or closed?
​
After a golfer learns the basic fundamentals, the next challenge is to learn your personal tendencies regarding what makes your "golf swing" produce satisfactory results as well as what causes "bad swings" and unintended results that wreck your score and confidence. Finding the source of bad swings is the first step in correcting them. Making your bad shots better doesn't require changing your golf swing - it's more about changing your approach to the game and learning how to manage yourself better. Just imagine how wonderful it would feel to know that you will rarely, if ever, hit another "stinker" golf shot. UNCOMPLICATED GOLF instruction's natural learning approach makes the golf instruction and learning experience enjoyable while accelerating the improvement process.

"Playing Outside the Box," secrets from the "PGA Tour," is an important segment of Uncomplicated Golf Instruction. When students implement this system into their golf games, the results are BETTER GOLF immediately. With an improved strategic approach you will discover how your thoughts affect your performance. By improving the way you process thoughts and manage "self-talk," you will reduce if not eliminate "stinkers" and take ownership of your golf swing. Benefits include playing the game of golf with less stress, reducing frustration, improving ball-striking, developing confidence and having a lot more fun shooting lower scores...
​
By eliminating the guesswork and gaining an understanding of what your golf swing is doing when producing quality golf shots and what is happening when it doesn't, you can make accurate oncourse error corrections, trust your golf swing and play golf with a greater sense of control than you ever imagined and say good-bye to stress and frustration.
