The
Classic Swing Golf School teaches golf on an individual
basis. Personal attention, quality instruction, and a
time honored curriculum are things that have made our
school a success. We do not rebuild or tear down swings
but reprogram through proper information. We believe in
evaluating every student's body type, personality, skill
level, and golf goals. We use state-of-the-art technology,
such as high speed video analysis, and the latest teaching
aids, but we use them in relation to what has worked for
hundreds of years. Our communication skills, sound proven
techniques and our knowledge of the golf swing have allowed
us to lower the handicaps of weekend players, fine tune
the skills of advanced players, or give beginners the
sound fundamentals necessary for a lifetime of more enjoyable
golf.
At
the Classic Swing Golf School, we pride ourselves on ensuring
customer satisfaction. Our entire staff is dedicated to
helping each student achieve his/her golf goals while
exceeding their expectations. Conveniently located in
Myrtle Beach, at Legends Resort, we strive to provide
the highest quality instruction along with the most fun
and relaxing environment available.

Tip: January 12, 2009 - Power Formula
If
power is something you are continuing to search for in
your golf swing, remember these three simple words; TURN,
PUNCH, and ROLL. You must make an attempt to complete
your backswing and finish through the turn of the torso
to generate power. For the right handed golfer, you should
treat the right arm as if it were delivering a knockout
punch. The right arm must be actively trained to roll
in order to immediately transfer the momentum of the downswing
upon impact and all the way into the follow through.
I
attended an Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC) title
match. This experience was shared with my good friend
Dr. Zac Burkett. Doc revealed to me, then demonstrated
on a heavy bag, how important it is to turn the hips and
shoulders while throwing the knockout punch. In a shadow
boxing setting, he expressed the need to rotate the forearms
to put more pop in the punch. He shared how the turn was
still vital for the knockout blow when the heavy bag was
put flat on the ground.
The
turn for the right handed golfer works in a similar capacity.
While maintaining your address spine angle, you should
fully rotate the left shoulder behind the ball over a
flexed right knee. Allow the right hip to work deep (behind
you) while keeping the left heel on the ground. In the
downswing, train the right shoulder to work down to the
ball and compliment this with the left hip rotating behind
you. The goal is to turn the trunk fully back, down, and
through. Big muscles move small muscles and the pivot
multiplies power.
The
feeling of throwing a ball at another ball on the ground
and consciously moving into a right palm down alignment
is imperative. The right arm sends a pushing sensation
down the shaft as the right arm straightens while approaching
impact. The body and the right arm have to be trained
so remember TURN, PUNCH, and ROLL.
