GSfMO#330 – This is a taste of this week’s hour long Members Only episode with 2007 PGA National Teacher of the Year, Jim Hardy. He says that every person’s golf swing is as unique as a strand of DNA. His simple +/- checklist outlined in his new book, Solid Contact, helps players of all skill levels self-diagnose shots, then correct the swings and misses on the very next shot. Â He’s also credited as the father of the 1-plane / 2-plane swing concept.
Our selection of golf books has returned to our Golfers’ Mart. Click here for either of Jim’s books, including his new one “Solid Contact: A Top Golf Coach’s Guide to Learning Your Swing DNA and Instantly Striking the Ball Better Than Ever” for Kindle or hard copy in our Golfers’ Mart.
