This is GM Golf no I don’t got him right now and today I’ll be helping him fix his golf swing I mean I haven’t hit a bad shot since the yes yeah way different huh yeah okay guys today uh I’ve got a special guest gar Clark here thank you appreciate it

Brother appreciate it thanks for being on we’re going to be giving him a little bit of a lesson um just played nine holes with him and uh saw some stuff I haven’t seen in a long time so I figured it’d be a good chance to help you out a

Little bit and I know you’ve gotten some tidbits and lessons from other people in the past and I kind of want you to tell me a little bit about that and what you’re trying to work on right now yeah and give the audience a little woy mwo

Recently gave me a lesson uh it was very quick but what he noticed was I get a little collapsed at the top and my my hands and my like arms almost feel too close to my body what he told me was one to keep the club still in front of my

Chest but to feel like more extension this way on my back swing I know it’s probably a good thing to work on for me I’ve noticed like especially in the last say 3 weeks or so it’s been so hard for me to time it up cuz I am so used to

I’ve done what 10 11 years of being handsy being close to my body so it’s tough to get used to that you’ve done it your way for for a long time and I think that albeit that the intentions are great and it’s a great piece of advice for people that struggle with extension

You have to have your own DNA and you have to be able to know exactly what makes you work and what makes you click so as a coach as me being a coach right now I would say through all of the lessons I’ve learned the most important

Thing is for you to swing what you’re comfortable with and I know that’s probably going to make a lot of instructors mad like you got to get and do this to be honest with you if you can’t do it here on the Range consistently and quickly and it doesn’t

Implement after two or three balls like immediately and it stays that way yeah then I probably don’t think it’s going to work out on the golf course it’s going to take you months of training months of a months of training just to get a little bit more of extension and

Did your game really get better I don’t know how do you know there’s no way to quantify it so I go along lines of what’s comfortable and how do you implement something that’s going to affect you in a positive way right now right and so that’s what I want to do

For you today and I want you to go through because I don’t know your golf swing very well right the one thing I can do is take you through your journey on how to make you a little bit better yeah so for the viewers right now in

This lesson I think the most important thing that everybody needs to learn is going to be you’ve got to take yourself through the Journey and you’ve got to go with what’s comfortable with you if you’ve already got a good base if you don’t have a good base you have to

Obviously get the fundamentals correctly that’s most important the next part when you’re a great golfer like Garrett you have to be able to be comfortable with what you’re doing all the time and you’ve got to work with something that’s going to make you a little bit better so

For example here being wider is great you if you want to keep that you can absolutely keep that what I would encourage you to do is try to do something that makes you comfortable over the golf ball right here right now for this golf shot right what makes you

Comfortable yeah I mean I was just talking about it but I feel like whenever I would play good in junior golf I would have a slower takeaway and better timing okay I just felt like my lower body and my upper body was syned right mhm and obviously when you’re

Collapsing you’re getting steep in here that being synced up is almost impossible so what’s comfortable though right now I feel like if I were to take this club a lot slower back almost as a drill but maybe I should do it on my actual swing I feel like it would make

Me feel more comfortable Mhm I mean didn’t hit that good okay so but that’s no nope that’s my point so if it doesn’t happen immediately you should shift to doing something else so from from what I can tell from everything that I’ve seen so far if I was to give you any piece of

Advice that should be comfortable with you is that I think you should fractionally take just a little bit more time at the top of your golf swing okay I I I personally think that it’s great going up to here but when you get wide and you try and Fire fast it comes over

The top and you lose your angle of attack and everything just you’re just getting quick from the top if you can just you can take it swiftly back give yourself a fraction more time to load and then explode through I like that give yourself time at the top everybody

Thinks just hit it hard you’ve got to swing it really fast but swing it really fast means through the golf ball not at the top of your golf swing you want everything to low at the top give yourself time feel a lot better even though it was a fraction yeah it’s

Nothing crazy it’s nothing crazy and that’s what it should be it should Implement immediately and if that didn’t work gett you should we should go try something else no that felt good actually and I know what you’re saying though cuz I do have a tendency when I

Get here to just like twist out of it and get when I’ve seen you on Instagram and when you’ve been hitting your best it’s always you take it up and your arms are super close which is totally fine and you’re pretty collapsed and but you give yourself time for your body to

React to the hands right and where they are in space felt better do you feel like you have more time through the impact area yeah cuz that’s the that’s the ultimate goal it just feels better on the transition when I do that and don’t me cuz I’m here to help you I’m

I would tell you I would tell you honestly I notice it I can tell if I’m hitting it well when I hit a long iron I want you to be aggressive so do the same thing and I want you to swing super hard because you should be able to swing it

Soft and really hard have this thing go down the middle of the Fairway would be super hard but take more time at the top that was great that’s my point so when we were talking beforehand I was actually getting information out of you without you even knowing it right I was

Asking what makes you comfortable what youve been doing what do you feel what do you sensing right now and you’re like I feel like my my timing is just off whenever I hear somebody say timing I always think it’s got to be something related to the top of the Swing yeah it

Makes always got to be something around there yeah cuz your transition at least for me gets out of wh get unsequenced exactly that’s the one piece of advice I have for you and it’s got to be comfortable no I like it a lot cuz if you try to change some alignment in your

Arm it’s going to take you months to try and figure out right the best thing you do is take more time with the top so give yourself just a fraction more and you start to control like where the face is even though that was a little left still felt great okay that’s

All that matters you should feel great and then you can start fixing the face angles just with a little bit of like your wrists and everything like that yeah just like a little bit more open any more tinkering you would do I guess I would start with this start with I

Would start with this make it super simple yeah that is my ultimate goal whenever I’m helping someone cuz I know how complex it can get okay believe me what I tell you I know how complex this can be simpler the better I like that I mean I like the the

Ball flight’s the same every time okay felt like I could for the most part trust it I want you to hit a cut doing it okay I want I want this to be tested I want just one shot I want everything to work I’m greedy like that no no no I like

That it’s how it should be to be honest take more time at the top and get yourself a little outside in motion it’s pretty good yeah you’re aim to that first flag or second flag first one okay cool thank goodness if he was aim to the second flag I’d have been he

Was over hooking it they would be hooking it a lot no I’m aiming at the first one I think you’re right especially when I get under pressure I tend to get quicker cuz I get to the ball and I’m like so excited I’m kind of

Nervous and I just like I just rush it I get the top this is where you’ll see it the most I want you to go hit a couple shots just off this shouldn’t be doing this but we’re going to do it anyway sure just like a couple shots here and I

Want you to take half shots and do the same exact thing okay just real quick like I I just want to see that half shots half shot just give yourself more time okay that feels so good there you go I’m not even joking yeah then you’re good

That’s all it is that’s all I wanted to see it all comes down to the timing at the top taking that extra Split Second giving yourself more time to have face awareness as simple as it sounds it makes so much sense I mean the flight’s a little lower too it

Gives you time on if you want more penetrating yep all right cool we’re good with the wedges this is I like I like the way I like how simple and also like what you’re telling me is if I want to in theory still work on the other swing

Change or whatever sure if it works if it works right I can still do that and have like the timing thought in the back of my head is I don’t know I I don’t think about it enough and I definitely need to it’s just a baseline to go back

To right that’s all it is yes yeah way different huh yeah so now you’re timed up you you got the ability to control the ball because of because I don’t know if you noticed I didn’t start a ball right today and move it all low low left low bleeders because

I was on top of it just yep chopping it like a little here the thing axe you can be short if you want but that’s if you give yourself the time to shift and come from the inside right the problem is you know you’re trying to widen it which is

Great but you’re wide and you’re going outside in which remember what I said your hands feel like all everywhere yeah it’s because the moment of a nurse was farther away from you it makes sense and it’s like I got to pull it harder to turn it over rather than it being close

And you’re comfortable with and you can turn it over easily yes you like I pushed it but I don’t care cuz it’s not moving right yeah and it’s dead into the wind too so that would go right if if you were had cut spin on it right now turn it over

Don’t be afraid to turn it hit a little draw yep give me a big draw give me a big cut big one thing that I’ve always struggled with I can’t hit a draw in command I typically hav’t been able to with a driver it happens naturally or it doesn’t happen but I’ll

Try just give yourself more time and swing from the inside gotcha goodness gracious there you go you’re welcome dude that’s it it’s so weird how something so simple in a golf swing can make that much of a difference a massive difference it can make you want to play golf again I know

Gosh that’s so sick I want to take more time maybe I’ll start pausing at the top like a deck all right cut take more time just a fraction more give yourself a time no nope didn’t cut it yeah straight though it’s okay I don’t mind a straight

Ball M but I wanted to cut it it comfortable or no yeah still felt comfortable like that was in the Fairway you know it shouldn’t be you getting over the ball golf ball and going I don’t know where this is going one of those feelings yeah it should be getting

Over like ah I’m comfor I know what to do knock on W I haven’t hit a bad shot yet that’s fake by the way so yeah still it’s the concept did I nail you gosh I hit that so good oh hit me and the you know what good t-

Shot sorry you’re good I’m just you know recovering with a stab wound I mean I haven’t hit a bad shot since the T I haven’t seen you hit it like this all day sad but true no offense let me let me hit one hard like with time yes yes try

Everything out in the golf course so I saw himing these low left shots little low left cuts um just was not it was not starting online didn’t have the right spin didn’t have the right launch window over the course of the round I was was kind of like somewhat

Inquiring what he felt like and just monitoring how he was uh some of his big misses like on four F five he just missed a way right and it was the open face is like you’re uncomfortable with the wrist so I knew it had to do something with timing but I didn’t know

Exactly what it would be and once we got out here I saw his golf swing and I said okay what’s what do you feel and he’s like I just like you know I’m trying to get wider and I know he’s changed that and I know that’s going to affect the

Timing with how his hands are going through impact so I said to myself okay there’s got to be something in his back stroke and at the top of his swing and he may not have enough time and it makes sense that if he’s quick from the top

It’s going to be Over the Top low left shots and then he’s going to back out of it open the face at high right shot so my initial thought was what is he comfortable with what he’s comfortable with is essentially giving himself more time on the back St I was like okay it’s

Something it’s something timing related so I said give yourself more time to the top to load the golf clove and then have him fire as hard as he wants right after that that’s what allowed him to control the face because it gave him face awareness up at the top it wasn’t too

Quick where he was like oh my gosh the forces are all going everywhere now he can control the ball into the Wind Golf is so simple when you make it simple you know that that’s sick no problem dud appreciate it thank you seriously easy peasy I’ll be working on

That just just something simple just give yourself more time and then pump it and by the way that’s what like mmu does you see because he does like have a slight pod I noticed that exactly
