Milo Lines is a PGA Professional, a Golf Digest "Best Teacher in State," and a former Tour Professional. His philosophy on the golf swing is that there is crossover, especially in sports involving hitting and throwing, with golf and the golf swing.  As a teacher his goal is to apply the athletic skills you already have and teach you the skills you need in order to improve as a golfer.  He joins #OntheMark to help you apply your athletic instinct and experiences to make your golf swing more athletic and effective. Milo shares his "5 Key Elements" to an athletic approach to the golf swing: ALIGNING - Grip, Aim and Alignment SEQUENCING - Swing Triggers, Timing, Rhythm and Tempo WINDING - Turning and Tilting athletically LOADING - The Athletic approach to the Transition and Change of Direction UNLEASHING - The Automatic Release of the club thanks to proper Sequencing, Winding and Loading. Milo also illustrates PGA TOUR examples such as Lee Trevino and Jack Nicklaus as athletic swing models, and teaches you a Drill (Laddering) that will improve your practice and unleash your inner athlete.

(00:01) Teaching Golf Standards and Challenges This chapter features an engaging conversation with Brian Manzella, a renowned golf instructor who is highly ranked in both Golf Magazine's Top 100 Teachers and Golf Digest's Top 50 Teachers lists. We explore the challenges of finding a suitable golf teacher who can adapt to individual learning styles rather than enforcing a one-size-fits-all approach. Brian shares insights into the low standards in the golf teaching industry, contrasting it with other professions that require certifications. He reflects on his career choices and aspirations, and the conversation highlights the importance of having experienced and qualified instructors in golf. Brian's journey and thoughts offer a valuable perspective on the state of golf instruction today. (11:26) Standardizing Golf Instruction This chapter addresses the challenges and opportunities in the world of golf instruction, particularly focusing on biomechanics and communication within the PGA of America. I explore the contrasting methodologies between various biomechanics schools, such as Jacobs 3D and TPI, and question the potential for a unified approach. The conversation also critiques the communication skills in teaching, suggesting that studying successful educators could be more beneficial. I propose two actionable solutions to enhance teaching standards: first, requiring PGA instructors to upload a 30-minute lesson annually, which could foster transparency and inspire improvement; and second, initiating monthly Zoom meetings led by thought leaders, providing a platform for sharing knowledge and techniques. However, I acknowledge potential resistance due to fears of embarrassment and reluctance to showcase one's methods publicly. (19:16) Selecting the Right Golf Instructor This chapter explores how to cultivate emotional attachment to football games when you don't naturally support local teams, such as the Cincinnati Bengals or the Cleveland Browns. By placing bets on platforms like FanDuel, you can create a rooting interest, enhancing your enjoyment and engagement with the games. We also discuss the challenges and politics within the PGA of America regarding innovation and the reluctance to embrace new teaching methodologies due to potential backlash from established professionals. Finally, we address the confusion some might face when seeking golf lessons and how to find the right instructor to improve their game. (28:47) Establishing Standards in Golf Instruction This chapter explores the challenge of identifying great golf teachers and critiques the current system that often relies on reputation and word of mouth. We discuss the flaws in how professional golfers select instructors, noting that the same few teachers are recycled without necessarily being the best. There's a call for a more structured and standardized system to evaluate golf teachers, much like other professions have, to ensure quality instruction. We suggest that someone with a comprehensive understanding of golf instruction, like Brian, could lead an organization to establish fair and effective criteria for rating teachers. The conversation also touches on the need for better communication skills among instructors to improve how they convey their knowledge to students. (38:29) The Golf Instruction Industry Issues This chapter explores the cyclical nature of golf teaching trends and the resurgence of topics like the golfing machine and O'Grady's methodologies on social media platforms. We reflect on how these discussions have been extensively debated in forums and Facebook groups over the years, and yet continue to re-emerge with new generations. The idea of creating an archival system to document these recurring trends is discussed, emphasizing the need for a structured approach to preserving golf teaching history. Additionally, we analyze the influence of tour instructors and the fluctuation of their perceived credibility, noting that many gain prominence without having developed players from the ground up. The conversation also touches on the lack of dedicated media coverage for the golf teaching industry, suggesting that more consistent scrutiny could address ongoing issues and misconceptions. (50:08) The Future of Golf Instruction This chapter focuses on the future of the golf teaching business and how it can be improved. We explore the potential for customization in golf instruction, emphasizing the importance of tailoring lessons to individual players' needs. The conversation highlights the potential for increased visibility of personalized coaching through online platforms, allowing coaches to showcase their work with specific players. While AI is acknowledged as a transformative force, the discussion shifts to the shortcomings of golf telecasts, particularly the lackluster performance of current announcers. We discuss the idea of offering alternative commentary options, allowing viewers to choose more engaging and knowledgeable voices to enhance the viewing experience. The overall sentiment is that both golf instruction and telecasts have room for improvement, and there is hope for more personalized and entertaining approaches in the future. (54:42) Celebrating Golf Music Memories This chapter is all about having a good time with a nod to musical nostalgia and a touch of humor. We explore the joys of appreciating pickles and the fun of picking who you love, alongside a light-hearted mention of Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, specifically their classic song "How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away." It's a mix of laughter and fond memories as we share this entertaining moment. Ryan and I have a great exchange, highlighting the fun and camaraderie of the group, while also playfully acknowledging the presence of cynicism. It's a heartfelt thanks to Ryan for joining us, as we wrap up another engaging session on Those Weekend Golf Guys. #GolfInstruction, #BrianManzella, #TeachingStandards, #PGAofAmerica, #Biomechanics, #Communication, #AdaptiveTeaching, #IndividualLearningStyles, #Certification, #InstructionalStandards, #AI, #PersonalizedCoaching, #GolfTelecasts, #MusicalNostalgia, #Camaraderie, #GolfCommunity, #GolfIndustry, #TeachingTrends, #GolfTeachers, #GolfMediaCoverage Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Most golfers hear it as one of their first tips: "Keep your head still." But what if we told you that trying to freeze your head is destroying your swing mechanics?In this video, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb break down one of golf's most misunderstood concepts—the illusion of head stillness. Whether you've been told you “lifted your head” or you're battling inconsistent ball striking, chances are this advice is doing more harm than good.We'll explain the biomechanics of head movement in elite golf swings, why it's actually impossible to keep your head completely still, and how forcing it leads to poor body mechanics, reverse pivots, and swing compensations.You'll learn:Why trying to “lock your head” creates chaos elsewhere in your swingHow rotational body mechanics naturally move your head (and why that's a good thing)The mobility requirements behind elite-looking swingsHow aging impacts head movement—and what the Champions Tour proves about itThe real fix: how to improve movement patterns to let your head do what it's supposed toThis isn't your dad's golf tip—it's a modern, biomechanical reality check grounded in data, tour-level analysis, and real-world student experience.If you've ever struggled with head position, reverse spine tilt, or staying “down” through the shot, this one's for you.

In this high-energy season 18 premiere, host Colin Weston sits down with David Buck, the charismatic and hilarious founder of Big Swing Kings. David is on a mission to inject more joy and simplicity into the game of golf, moving away from over-complicated instruction and back to the fundamental truths of what makes a ball go straight. A former professional golfer who “won't see his name on any trophies,” David discovered his unique teaching style by accident when a video of him roasting (then instructing) a golfer's swing went viral. He breaks down why the quest for “consistency” is often misguided, why impact is the only position that truly matters, and how he's even learning to play left-handed to better understand the learning process for his students. Tune in for a conversation filled with laughs, practical wisdom, and a refreshingly simple approach to solving golf's most frustrating problems. Watch the video version with a special swing roast of host Colin Weston on: The ModGolf YouTube Channel (https://youtu.be/Z6w2i10yrQI) Featured Links & Resources: Big Swing Kings Website: [www.bigswingkings.com] Follow David on Instagram: [@bigswingkings] During this episode you will discover these inspiring takeaways: 1. Stop Chasing "Consistency" and Start Understanding Impact The golf world is obsessed with backswing positions, elbow angles, and perfect posture. David argues that this is backwards. The most important moment is the micro-second of impact. If you don't know what a good impact position looks and feels like, you can't possibly build a consistent swing around it. David's entire philosophy starts with mastering a one-foot back, one-foot through motion to ingrain this feeling before ever adding speed. 2. The Fastest Path to Improvement is Often the Simplest Golf is a simple game, but it is not an easy one. David advocates for stripping away complexity, both in swing thought and in equipment. He is a staunch advocate for single-length irons (from lob wedge to at least the 8-iron) because they remove variables like changing ball positions and spine angles, allowing you to focus purely on the strike. This simplicity creates inherent accuracy and makes the game easier to learn. 3. You Have to Choose Fun to Play Your Best Golf Frustration, anger, and the dreaded shanks can make golf feel like a chore. David's unique approach uses humor, light-hearted roasting, and camaraderie to break down the barriers of fear and frustration. By creating a community where it's okay to laugh at yourself, he helps golfers relax, which is the first step toward playing better and truly enjoying their time on the course. https://media24.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads-2024/images/1/1ea879c1-a4a2-4e10-bea4-e5d8368a3c7a/TZkSPd7r.jpg Episode Chapters: 00:00 - Welcome to Season 18! 01:19 - Who is David Buck and What is Big Swing Kings? 02:16 - David's “Failed Pro” Background and Philosophy 04:21 - The Overwhelmed Golfer's Dilemma 04:38 - The Big Swing Kings Process: Start at Impact 06:31 - The Viral AHA Moment That Started It All 09:54 - The Story Behind the "Big Swing Kings" Name 11:30 - Is This Only for "Kings"?

n this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb break down a question every golfer thinks they've figured out — but most are dead wrong about:

Shaun Webb and Mike Granato are the founders of Athletic Motion Golf (AMG).   Vastly experinence and well respected, they have worked with golfers of all skill levels and abilities including PGA TOUR, Champions Tour, DP World (European) Tour, Korn Ferry Tour and LPGA professionals. Their pursuit of the real truth and the most efficient ways to swing a golf-club are relentless and they have spent countless hours measuring and researching elite golfers in 3D.   Mike and Shaun join #OntheMark to share 3D golf-swing insights from the best in the game that will help you tighten up your golf-swing, incl.: "Shallowing" the golf-club - how much is required and how to do it properly. "Shaft Lean" at impact - how much is actually required and how to do it correctly. Timing in the backswing - how much time should you take to adequately wind up. The Feel and Shape of a functional backswing. A proper Transition - how the arms/elbows lower in order to promote better timing, and Consistent, powerful Impact - the correct amount of body shift, pivot and arm-swing to time a powerful strike. They also illustrate their "Pass/Fail" Swing Drill that will show if your downswing delivery is in the correct spot. This podcast is worth watching on YouTube as Shaun demonstrates a number of golf-swing elements and moves.  Search and Subscribe to Mark Immelman on YouTube to view.

As amateurs, we often find some quick fix that'll help us get better temporarily, but the reason pros get good and stay good is because they have the patience to do things the rest of us typically don't. In this miniseries, LKD explores a number of boring things pros told him they do that work for them.

(00:00) Discussing Golf Instruction and Trends This chapter features a lively discussion about golf, the heat in Florida compared to Nantucket, and the challenges of playing on long, wet courses. We explore the importance of proper golf instruction, expressing concern over unqualified instructors giving poor advice and suggesting the need for a governing body to ensure quality. We also discuss the impact of social media on a golf instructor's reputation and the value of having a large online following, which can significantly increase their rates and demand. Personal anecdotes are shared about experiences with well-known golf instructors and the significance of tailoring fundamentals to individual players' body types. Additionally, we touch on the return of certain golf teaching styles and the importance of listening and learning from seasoned professionals. (08:37) Discussion on Golf Tips and Techniques This chapter brings us into the world of golf instruction and the impact of online tutorials and teaching tools. We discuss the challenges faced by those who rely solely on videos and magazines for golf improvement, sharing anecdotes about how this approach can sometimes lead to confusion rather than progress. Highlighting practical tips from golf publications, we touch on techniques that anyone can try, like using tees for practice or the correct way to utilize impact bags with bubble wrap to improve swing accuracy. The conversation also explores the significance of paying attention to the sound and feel of a golf shot, even at the professional level. We wrap up with some light-hearted banter about nicknames and the humorous quirks of the golfing community, illustrating the camaraderie and humor inherent in the sport. (13:15) Improving Impact With Lightweight Training This chapter explores innovative approaches to improving golf swing techniques using unconventional tools. I share insights on how hitting different materials, like deflated balls and car wash sponges, can enhance a golfer's swing without the risk of injury or damaging equipment. By incorporating lightweight materials such as bubble wrap and inflatable rubber balls into impact bags, we create a practice environment that encourages aggressive yet safe swings. Additionally, we highlight the benefits of using older clubs with metal shafts to prevent damage to modern graphite clubs. We also discuss how professional golfers train with focus on functional strength rather than aesthetics, underscoring the importance of effective impact training over traditional bodybuilding. (18:00) The Impact of Fitness on Golf This chapter focuses on the evolving nature of golf training, highlighting the shift from traditional methods to modern, results-oriented approaches. We explore how contemporary golfers are training not just for skill, but for physical resilience and power, akin to athletes in more physically demanding sports. Through anecdotes about Rory McIlroy and other young athletes, we emphasize the importance of strength and injury prevention, while also addressing the risks of overtraining, as seen in young golfers experiencing injuries typically found in older players. We discuss the implications of this intense training mindset, likening it to the sacrifice-for-success mentality seen in other professional sports, and question the sustainability and health implications for those not at the top echelon. With insights from Jeff Smith and Scott Monroe, we examine how these approaches impact golfers' longevity and propose strategies for balancing ambition with health preservation. (26:59) Debate on Golf Instruction Liability This chapter explores the intricacies and challenges faced by performance coaches in the world of sports, particularly golf. We examine the potential liability coaches might face if their techniques inadvertently lead to player injuries, highlighting the importance of aligning coaching methods with individual player needs. The conversation emphasizes that it's not always about the coach but the information being conveyed and how it matches with the athlete's physical capabilities. The discussion also touches on the unique sounds and techniques of skilled golfers, noting the awe-inspiring noise of a well-struck ball. Furthermore, we explore how high-speed video analysis, while insightful, can sometimes mislead golfers into overanalyzing movements that occur in fractions of a second, potentially harming their performance. Through anecdotes and examples, we underscore the balance between using advanced technology for improvement and maintaining an understanding of the sport's fundamental mechanics. (32:30) Golf Instruction and Trends This chapter explores the impact of technology on golf instruction, emphasizing that the over-reliance on slow-motion analysis may lead to incorrect assumptions about a player's intentions and biomechanics. We discuss the importance of focusing on motion, rhythm, and timing rather than the minutiae of swing mechanics, which can often lead to misinformation and potentially harmful techniques. I stress the need for a more personalized approach to instruction, suggesting that golfers consult with experts like Kelly Stenzel or EA Tishler for assessments that consider individual physical capabilities. This personalized approach helps golfers identify what techniques are suitable for them, enhancing their ability to improve without risking injury.

Stephen and Jim discuss the history of golf instruction books - from Percy Boomer and Horace Hutchinson to Tommy Armour, Jones and Hogan.

If you've ever wondered how the heck to find a legit golf instructor (and not just some YouTube-taught swing whisperer on the driving range), this is the episode for you.Too many golfers waste years (and thousands of dollars) working with instructors who don't actually change their swing — they just slap a Band-Aid on the shanks and hope for the best. In this episode, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb break down how to find a real swing coach who understands both the art and the science of instruction — including what to look for, what to avoid, and the types of “teachers” that do more harm than good.We unpack the difference between resort triage lessons and true swing transformation, the value of coaches who adapt with tech and data (3D motion, force plates, etc.), and how to spot the red flags — like "method teachers" who teach everyone the same cookie-cutter swing, or social media coaches who have never taught in the real world.You'll walk away with a filter system that makes your search way easier — and ensures you're not jumping teacher to teacher, wasting time and regressing. Because once you find your coach, you commit.✅ Learn what separates top-tier instructors from the fakes ✅ Why 3D motion, force plates, and experience matter ✅ How swing patterns, mobility, and individuality affect coaching ✅ When to commit and stop jumping from teacher to teacher ✅ How to use YouTube strategically to vet coaches in advanceWant to take your swing to the next level?

Golfers everywhere are being taught the wrong concept of where impact happens — and it's destroying swings before they even start. In this video, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb expose the truth that 90% of golf instruction still gets wrong: impact actually happens on the trail side of your body, not the lead side.If you've been grinding on “getting your hands in front of your lead leg,” there's a high chance you've been fighting physics, stalling rotation, and killing your power — all because of a bad address in your mental GPS.They break down:Why the “hands in front” myth persists in lessons worldwide.How pros actually position their hands and hips at impact (with 40+ Tour winners' data to prove it).The illusion on TV that makes impact look lead side… but isn't.Why getting this one concept right can finally unlock your rotation, speed, and consistency.Once you understand this, your entire approach to the golf swing changes — and improvement gets a whole lot easier.If you've been frustrated, plateaued, or even gotten worse after “doing what you were told” — this is the lightbulb moment you've been waiting for.

Stop wasting your time with speed sticks and air swings. In this episode, we break down the biggest speed training myths and show you what actually works — with real stories, data, and insights from our work with Fast Eddie and tour-level players.Most golfers want to swing faster. But are you training for speed the right way… or sabotaging your swing without realizing it? We dig into why swinging at air doesn't transfer to real-world results — and how it's silently wrecking swings across all skill levels.You'll hear how tour pros like Padraig Harrington and Aldrich Potgieter gain speed while maintaining accuracy, why contact-based training is a must, and how our H.I.I.T.S Driver is changing the game with a safer, smarter way to add yards without injury.If you've ever used a speed stick or wondered why your training hasn't translated to longer drives, this is a must-watch.

Are your hips actually rotating the way elite golfers do?In this video, Mike Granto & Shuan Webb are diving into one of the most misunderstood and underrated parts of the golf swing—internal and external hip rotation. This isn't just about turning — it's about how your knees and pelvis work together to unlock real rotational power.Most golfers (even the decent ones) get this wrong. They rotate everything together like a block of wood... and it kills their speed, power, and consistency. We're going to show you why that's a mistake—and how pros like Rory and Ludvig Åberg are doing it differently.Using years of GEARS data and real swing analysis from thousands of amateurs and pros, we reveal the real reason your hips might be stuck, and how to fix it with just a small shift in how you stretch your pelvis away from your femurs.This video is a must-watch for golfers who want to rotate better, hit it further, and stop sliding all over the place. It's based on biomechanical truth, not Instagram fluff.Mike & Shaun break down:How your lead and trail knees SHOULD move during backswing and downswingThe role of femur stretch vs. lazy hip turnWhy most amateurs are doing the opposite of what pros doA simple check from face-on video to know if you're screwing it upAnd why fixing this will help your swing without endless drills or reps
