In my research into the golf swing I have studied, used, and experimented with the numerous golf methods such as Hogan, Leadbetter,and Ballard, just to name a few. I always try to find what motions and principles are common with each method and how they differ from one another. In June of 1987 I started studying and using The Golfing Machine concept. This is where the broadest base of my knowledge comes from and I later became an authorized instructor. In October of 1999 I started working with the computer model of Dr. Ralph Mann as featured in his book Swing Like A Pro. This model has had a major influence in changing the way I look at the swing. It has taught me how to apply the principles of The Golfing Machine in a biomechanical or athletic way, a way that is more universally adaptable for all golfers.
Today I continue to play as an amateur golfer but my research and development into better and simpler swing mechanics continues. These swing mechanics require no special application and can be used by anyone, from the beginner to scratch golfer. This page is dedicated to those who's game may improve as a result of my work.
