Hi I’m Matt Lockey, welcome to my Coach Lockey YouTube Channel. This YouTube channel is designed to help you play better golf, and to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf course vlogs, golf challenges, golf tips, golf lessons, golf club reviews and the odd golf club unboxing. So pretty much everything golf!
I want to help you play better golf by providing coaching videos on all topics about golf. How to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
As well as helping you produce the best long game you can have, I will help you lower your scores by chipping better, stopping duff and thin chips, pitching the ball closer and creating backspin like the tour pros. Finally, I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts too!

I have a frozen lead shoulder so pinning it on my chest is not an option 🙂
Funny how the adage “the camera doesn’t lie” isn’t true! Good stuff Coach
Great stuff, and so right about dangers of 2D cameras. I'm also pretty sure the only person who should play golf like ol' Gary, is Gary!
I've recently been trying to make my swing wider but I can't for the life of me, every time I do it it pulls my head up which I know isn't an issue as long as it comes back down at address but it bugs me :D, maybe I lack rotation in the hips, idk.
player and trevino were greatly influenced by ben hogan who in his books tells you to have upper arms tied to your chest(you notice they are all short guys) and have a few majors between them.then in the leadbetter years and many followers were teaching to swing with a towel under your arms.personnally i dont think thats the way to go or your more modern style.if i ever play again it will be earnest jones and manuel de le torre swing the club and let the body respond!
2D cameras are such liars! Looks like you are 4.5 feet tall and weigh in at 5.5 stone (80lbs) in your videos. You are the PGA coach and I believe you when you state and show that gluing your arm to your chest does not work. Keep up the awesome coaching as some of us actually use your instruction to become better golfers.
I believe that you explained the concept of keeping space between arm and chest pretty well. This is something we don't hear from other instructors. Thanks for the tip. This should get me back on target!
I think you're misunderstanding poor ould Gary, he says maintain the same distance not pull it closer like you showed.
Think Matthew Wolfe, or Jim Furyk. They take the arms, and club OUT, in the backswing, so it naturally falls IN during transition. Feeling this exaggeration will look nowhere near like their swings. However, it’s a great way to work on NOT coming over the top.
Thanks for this coach. I'm glad you're doing more fact-based technical stuff instead of the reheated crap from the 50s most youtuber push out on a daily basis.
I believe it's all about matchups and seeing as there's a lot of combinations, I thinkthe onus is on each golfer "digging it out of the dirt" themselves or following a method via a teacher.. Personally I think having lead arm struck to your chest (adducted) too early in backswing will increase your likelyhood of coming down more out-to-in than otherwise. (the arm will "bounce" off the chest earlier) Another side-effect is that trail elbow might end up stuck behind chest which complicates downswing. But that depends on your patterns I guess. for hookers that might be a good feel to neutralize their swing.
You are correct in your approach my friend. My first golf coach (my father) taught over 60 years ago "The left arm never crosses the chest in the backswing!" He added "If the left arm crosses the chest, you will surely slice the golfball."
I think Gary just is talking about a feeling. I doubt if his golf swing is like that
No disrespect to Gary, but things have moved on a fair bit since his day…
winters coming soon , what can i do to get ready for a game with 5lbs of extra clothes ? i like your content . your easy to listen to thnxs🤙🏽
Look at your shadow on the floor… especially in the split screen shot.
A picture is a thousand words… and they can be lies. If I were to do what Player said, I'd be hitting a lot of duck hooks. Quack, quack.
Data is on yr side, Locks! FIGJAM got his feels, but they aint real.
Cameras do lie and feel isn't real.
This is correct. As is proven out by motion capture. I teach all my students this.
Good explainer Coach! I respect Gary Player and the old guys, but I net the reals are not feels in his case like the rest of us. Besides…all those push ups probably got his chest so big it probably created space between his arm and body too!!! 😂
