Pause-N-Throw

My student and good friend, Phil Reed, invented the Pause-N-Throw several years ago. I consider it to be a great training device as it promotes the throwing style release used by big hitters and exceptional players. It attaches to your right forearm and loops over your thumb to set your hands in the correct position […]

Creating and Maintaining Speed In Your Golf Swing

OK, let’s see a show of hands: who wants to hit the golf ball further? Well, in surveying the pretend responses it looks like everyone. Much of the speed that we create in the swing is from rotation. From a physics standpoint it’s all about centrifugal force which Webster’s dictionary defines as the apparent force […]

Minimizing Shaft Rotation

The legendary Mike Austin, whose 515-yard drive was the longest in competitive golf history, had a unique but very effective way to describe a square clubface which he demonstrated to me in his front lawn many years ago. We went to the edge of his driveway which he used as the target line. Then he […]

Straight left arm in the golf swing

Many golfers have been taught to keep their left arm straight. Some interpret this to mean a rigid arm that’s almost locked which can restrict your mobility. Do you want a 90-degree angle in the left arm (right-handed golfers)? Of course not, as we need width in the swing. But a soft left arm with […]

Sequencing the golf swing properly for more power and accuracy

Here is a video of Adam Scott and Tiger side by side. In the facing portion notice how the right leg stays motionless. No lateral movement at all. There is a turn of the hips but no sliding. From this position it gets easier to initiate the downswing with the lower body. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyZvEBRkujc

Golf pitching fundamentals

Regarding pitching, the basic fundamentals are to have a slightly open stance, weight predominantly on the left side (for right-handed players) and the ball pretty much between the feet. This causes the shaft to be leaning forward slightly and helps to ensure solid contact. Then we basically just make a mini swing while keeping the […]

How to grip the golf club properly

To place your hands on the club properly, hold the club in front of you at an upward 45- degree angle with your right hand (left for left-handed players) on the shaft slightly below the grip.  Place the left hand on the grip with the heel pad at the base of the little finger on […]

Keeping your golf swing on plane

No less an authority than Jack Nicklaus, as well as my mentors Mike Austin and Dan Shauger, all believed that if the first move in the downswing was to move the weight into the lead foot it is absolutely impossible to release the club too soon. But it’s how we move to the lead foot […]

Maybe […]

Balance in the Golf Swing

Balance is a critically important element of an effective and powerful golf swing.  Here are some drills to help you to achieve better balance in your swing: Foot lift: In golf posture, lift your left foot off the floor and balance for as long as possible. Then do the opposite side. To intensify dramatically, close […]

Hi John,
I REALLY enjoyed being with you these past the days. I held off taking lessons because the golf instructors available to me in Milwaukee just didn’t measure up. Not to mention I’m frugal if I don’t see value. You, John, are everything I hoped for and then some!!!
Your golf knowledge and honesty with Austin swing mechanics is priceless. But more than that, your way of communicating concepts is the best I’ve ever been around.
I am glad to have met you and hope to continue learning from you and seeing you again in person.
Stay well and I wish you the best!!!

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you did to help me during my lessons. I learned so much from you, and the passion you have for the game and for teaching is incredible to me. You made me fall in love with golf!  You are one of the kindest, most patient people I have ever met in my life. Your teaching method is great! As a former culinary instructor myself I can tell you how amazing you are at what you do.  Also, living in Atlanta and being Hispanic and looking different and having this crazy accent has never been easy. People looked down at me all the time, treated me very differently as to other “locals” and I was not welcomed in many places even if people didn’t tell me straight to my face.  Not once did you make me feel uncomfortable or out of place. This meant the world to me.  Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the great lesson yesterday, especially working with me in the far less than perfect weather.

I really appreciate your ability to see what I am doing, and to get me to a place where my short game setup and club selection will help me achieve the results that I am looking for.

Not only do you bring great insight and knowledge our sessions, but you have a knack for bringing out the best in me. It’s like we peel off a layer of funk (if that is such a thing). And for me, executing properly while practicing is a great confidence booster.

I will keep you posted.

Thanks.

John Marshall is not only a great teacher and student of golf, he also has a solid game himself, as evidenced by his previous Senior Long-Drive Championships. He has a keen eye for looking at a student’s swing and easily communicating suggestions that put a student at ease and lead to better swings. I have been working with John for about 10 years, and though sometimes, months pass between lessons, I always leave with a better understanding of what I am doing and confidence to take my game to the next level on the golf course. He has a true “teacher’s heart,” genuinely interested in his students and wanting them to enjoy their best golf. Shortly after each lesson, he sends a written summary of what we did in the lesson and the specific techniques that we covered that helped me improve. He also includes video of my swings in the lesson that provide further clarification. This “blueprint for improvement” allows for great positive reinforcement–supportive without over dependency on the teacher. I heartily recommend John without reservation!

I am a professional coach in another sport. I have recently taken up golf as a hobby. I thought it would be easy. (Just watch the guys on TV do it) I was wrong. I started out bad and just keep getting worse the more balls I tried to hit.
After a very frustrating hitting session, one of my athletes suggested I take a lesson. I decided I couldn’t get any worse so I went to work to find a coach for myself.
After a lot of research, I decided to call John. Boy am I glad I did!
John pulled off a miracle and now I have a golf swing. After only two lessons I am hitting the ball straight and I am having a lot of fun!
John has a great sense of humor and I enjoy my time with him.
If you are a beginner or a seasoned golfer I would recommend John as your swing coach.
