I think Ben Hogan summed it up when he stated "all that is required to play good golf is to properly execute a relatively small number of true fundamental movements".
He was saying that we should all be learning the same basic moves, not different moves for different people or body types.
The SWINGBUILD programme will take the golfer through a process always moving towards the day when there are two swing thoughts the golfer should focus on, connection and release.
The golfer will have worked on the mechanics of the swing with the aid of some exercises; this really is a case of eliminating excess movement from the body and arms.
Timing, tempo and rhythm will have been introduced and these concepts create the flow of energy that separates the top player from the rest. There are also specific exercises designed for this purpose, effectively channelling more energy to the clubhead as accelerated speed. Its not coincidence that the really good ‘swingers’ down the years are not only regarded as pure ball strikers, but produce a load of energy, in effect, long hitters and often from a fairly small frame. Think of Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus

Two movements, one connection... AND ... Lets get one thing clear from the off, golf is a speed sport and not a power sport.
There are two movements that that create clubhead acceleration, body rotation and the hands and wrists. Each move, when performed on its own does not generate much energy but when combined will produce an amazing acceleration or burst of speed delivered directly to the clubhead.
It is the job of the third component, the control area to link the two speed moves and to give the golfer the control required to hit the ball straight by ensuring the club is on its correct plane.

Natural set-up

When we talk of a natural setup we have to look to our anatomy. What will our body allow us to do without damaging itself whilst allowing maximum efficiency during the swinging process. Are there different stances and ways of holding the club which will allow a real free flow of energy to the clubhead. Well, no. There is a very specific setup stance which can be easily practised and rehearsed.

Pre-swing fundamental components

Balance and posture - Setting the triangle - Neutral grip - Grip pressure - Ball position

The art of getting up-and-down

This part of the game like the full-swing falls into two parts. Firstly, good mechanics which enables us to get a clean hit on the ball. With chipping and pitching, it allows that all important ball turf strike.
Then there is feel and touch. How far do I have to hit this shot; how far will it roll on landing and will it take any break.
In many ways, getting the swing mechanics right should be the easy bit. 
In the setup, the ball has to be positioned behind the centre point of the clubhead arc, the c7 vertebrae to allow a downward strike on the ball.
We set the long narrow triangle for constant depth control and swing the club back and through gauging the length of swing to the required length of shot.
There are many ‘feel/touch’ drills that will improve everyone’s game around the green and the SWINGBUILD coaches will regularly take you through a selection of these.

Making the most of your time

The student starting on the swingbuild programme may be surprised to find themselves asked to do some ‘homework’. This will probably take the form of swinging at home without a ball whilst checking the relevant points.
This should not come as any real surprise when you stop to think about it because any subject that you study or any course you attend would involve some amount of study or rehearsing. Without the extra time spent, improvement would be slow if non existent.
Short periods of rehearsing will be productive as the focus will be on the movement and not the flight of the ball which can be hugely misleading.
So, with a clear picture of the correct moves required and focussed practise, every individual will start to see progress happen fairly quickly.

Learning to play golf

When you consider how much is written on the swing, it’s really no surprise that most golfers are utterly confused. I know from my own experience in running golf schools that players of all age and ability find it hard to get away from quite complicated and (often) contradictory thoughts that basically tie them in knots. Certainly, if there’s one thing you must have before you can contemplate building a sound, correct swing, it is a clear mindset, so let me begin with a simple definition of what the golf swing is. Break it down into its component parts and you are looking at a body turn coupled with a natural hand action. These two distinct movements are connected via what I like to term the ‘control area’ of the arms and shoulders – the long, narrow triangle. Let me stress the simplicity of the two key movements you have to learn in order to play good golf – the body turn and the hand action.
