If You Had PGA Teaching Pros for 90 minutes...

Geometry of the circle
Imperatives and essentials, especially lag pressure and balance

Flying wedges! Especially a 'level' right wrist and how the right forearm cocks the left wrist.

Of course, I would personally use the EdZ drills to show all of the above and perhaps an axe handle and rope, a broom and a mop!

To tie it all together - Impact fix and impact hand location/aiming point!

Danger- danger. Got to keep it very very simple. Don't lose them. Got to show those guys that it is in reach to teach.

True - but I think you can show the flying wedges and the concepts of the imperatives and essentials with common terms that wouldn't turn folks off.

"Support" of impact for example!

Many in the audience will be experienced instructors who are invested in their own methodology. I suggest starting with 1-L Machine Concept.

Explain viewing the body as a machine concept and the three functions Clubshaft, Clubhead, and Clubface. Allow this to lead into Plane, Pressure Points, and Flat Left Wrist. I believe these concepts will arouse interest without threatening points of view.

Next cover the imperatives and essentials. To back it all up – Geometry of the circle!

Good Luck

In my humble opinion the bent right wrist is the most important aspect of the golf stroke.Without it you have nothing...all the power is gone before impact and this leads to throw away.This to me is the primary reason for another great problem...over acceleration.The body does this to compensate for the loss of power storage which is cause by straightening the right wrist before impact.

In essence the Golf stroke is all about power storage...The bent right wrist allows the golfer to do exactly that.

To me that is the bottom line.

Not a problem, Mike. These are all wonderful ideas and I appreciate all of them. I don't have a problem, presenting them in a simplified, organized manner. I do it on the lesson tee every day. The last thing I want to do is intimidate them. I am interested in what everyone would do if they were in my golf shoes; no wrong answers.
