This is a great video to show to those who haven’t played the game, or are looking for a refresher. They show the various components of the swing (grip, stance, etc) from various angles…great stuff.

Enjoy your weekend! Looks like rain here in the North East, so unfortunately, probably no golf for me :(

Kensey Snyder is one of the instructors on Expert Village, and he has 15, two to three minute instructional videos posted up. Some great stuff that really gets to the point quickly.

View the Video Now – I would embed the video here directly, but their player seems to like to automatically start playing the video. I do not care for that so much, I really dislike those sites that have audio blaring in the background…you frantically look around for a stop button…yeah no…please excuse my completely unrelated rant.

Just don’t go overboard watching these things…you’re liable to get about 10 million swing thoughts in your head and then head out to the course not even knowing how to swing a club ;)

This site even has a series on how to become a Ninja…which I found quite comical. Almost as entertaining as Golf Girl TV.

Take the club head well across the line? Do yourself a favour and check out this video lesson by Shawn Clement, the Director of the Richmond Hill Golf Learning Centre. This should help you with feeling extension in your arms in your swing.

While you are here, be sure to check out some other video golf lessons.

There are some nice examples relating the feeling of the swing to other sports: golf, fishing, soccer, football, skipping stones. Great stuff, as always, from Shawn Clement.

Side note, good thing I played Stricker over the weekend, eh?

Found this little gem that describes the proper golf grip, grip size to use and the position of one’s wrist through the swing. Shawn does a great job of explaining the swing, keeping things simple. MyImpetus posted about this video earlier as well.

Do you find yourself being cluttered with swing thoughts? While you are lining up your shot are you thinking about where your right elbow will be? How your wrists will bend? Anything other than visualizing the intended shot? If so, check out this video, great stuff.

This one was also done by Shawn Clement, the Director of the Richmond Hill Golf Learning Centre. He has a great tip about closing down the club face of a 60 degree wedge for the buried shot, rather than the typical wide open club face used when blasting a typical bunker shot.

I need this guy to come up with a video lesson of hitting out of a terrible municipal bunker with a thin layer of soft sand, laid on top of some wet, packed rocky sand!
