So
here is our plan:
My son
and I have hired Matt Cook, one of the most sought after teaching
pros in the Midwest.
We
will be going every Tuesday to the Fargo Sports Bubble. We
plan to use the video camera extensively both for the video itself
and for the freeze action images similar to what you see in golf
magazines.
We
will work all the way from the grip and stance through the swing
and of course the all important follow through.
Now for the
big news Matt sprung on me today!
After telling me I could
share the information from my son's lessons, he went to work on a
list of keys to successful practice he wants us to follow.
He told me to feel free to share it with all my friends!
Let me share a little about
Matt. He is one of those guys who would help everyone if he
possibly could. He helps with the local youth programs.
He has a true desire to make sure the love of golf spreads to
future generations.

A glimpse of what is to come:
My son and I just finished our first
lesson with Matt. I have always been a student of
golf. I have read countless books and magazines and
watched many videos. I figured I have a fairly classic
grip and swing. Big Surprise!
He had me changing my grip slightly and
of course since my son, Alan, learned from me, he had the same
incorrect grip. I tried to contradict some of his
instructions but he stopped me in
my tracks by simply saying "Do you like the way you are
hitting the ball now???"
In the words of Bobby Jones from The
Rights and Wrongs of Golf:
"With a bad grip he is condemned
always to be a "hacker", because the succeeding
movements of the correct swing are impossible for a man whose
grip varies greatly from the orthodox. But given a good
start, with his hands placed correctly on the club, he will
find the rest easier than he might expect."
Ok...so Alan's grip probably didn't vary
greatly from the orthodox but he has always tended to let his
hands slip apart into more of a hockey swing and with just a few
changes from Matt he is on his way to a consistent, powerful
grip, giving him the foundation for a good swing.
 Matt
then went to work on Alan's setup. Alan has a habit of
standing too tall and slouching over the ball (something I have
been trying to help him correct for quite a while). Within
a couple minutes and some simple visualization ideas, Matt had
him in perfect position. He stepped to an open spot while
Dad got his turn with the pro and started cracking shot after
shot straight down the middle.
He has me excited with some great things
for both of us to work on before next weeks lesson. We are
off to write our
first installment in our series of newsletters to make sure we
retain what we have learned.
I hope you will join us on this
adventure.
See ya on the links!!!
