I am a 30 year and still currently a PGA Professional. I was here in 2003 when we opened Nancy Lopez working in the golf academy. I still teach at my home here in the Newell village with great success just teaching impact position. Using video, and launch monitor students have immediately become better around the greens. Learning how to get and feel better impact will improve your entire swing. If a teacher starts you with full swings, my opinion is you will not get better as quickly as learning to hit "From the ball, out". Good luck everybody.
If you have a specific question, you can message me. I'll do my best to explain.

Mike doesn't know it, but I played with him a couple of years ago, at TDS. Good guy and makes perfect sense. If you don't understand what the club face does, how it works, what impact is like ... all the "swing theories" are wasted.

It's way easier to teach a chip shot swing and transition it to a full swing, than starting with a Driver in your hand.
