Thank you for choosing my video! I’m thrilled to have you on board as I’ve created this channel to assist fellow golfers in their quest to master the game. Learning golf can be quite a challenge, but don’t worry – I’m here to provide guidance and support.
In my early days of learning, I too faced the struggle of improving my game. Despite diving into books and videos, progress seemed elusive. Through years of dedicated study of swing biomechanics and testing various techniques, I’ve developed a systematic approach to mastering the golf swing.
On this YouTube channel, I deliver cutting-edge training that’s currently yielding real results for my clients. Regardless of where you stand in your golfing journey – whether you’re a beginner, dealing with flexibility concerns, or aiming to lower your handicap – this platform is designed to cater to your needs. It’s a community where you can learn, exchange ideas, ask questions, and find the support required to relish this wonderful sport.
Be prepared for an authentic journey. If you’re looking for quick fixes, I might not be your ideal source. Instead, I offer step-by-step guidance that you can directly apply on the practice range and course. It demands dedication, embracing mistakes, consistent practice, and the joy of watching your scores progressively improve.
With the privilege of coaching thousands of students worldwide, I’m excited to extend the challenge to you. If you’re ready to step up and dive into the game, let’s embark on this journey together!

Thanks very much. This is very helpful. Really enjoy your clips and I think it’s the best out there.
By far the most helpful person I’ve found for swing tips on YouTube. Really appreciate what you do
In the setup should the left elbow point out toward the target?
Just started golf this summer and a guy at the range saw my horrid swing with little to no contact. He proceeded to recommend your channel and you have helped me out so much!! Great video
Another excellent video Giles! This "straight" arm in the golf swing is something I have been working on together with the folding and unfolding of the right arm! In viewing this video, I find that I will have to work on the "frisbee toss" position more! Well Done Giles! Thumbs Up to You On This One!
Thanks Giles. One of the best on YouTube. I’ll be trying this drill at the range prior to my round today. 👍😎🇦🇺
Great video Giles. I've been struggling with over rotation in the backswing, my lead arm would stay straight but my trail would flex past 90 degrees and get stuck behind me.
Will give these drills a try tomorrow, think it'll help my driver swing too.
Keep it up!
excellent drill idea that first one, never seen that before!
I have struggled with the driver. Discovered my contact is better and more consistent when pull thru with the left. However, creates a push. I feel your left arm thumb analogy for release will help me
Thanks Gill, good work over the left arm release , I told friends about your channel and they like it. Thanks Gill.
There needs to be more video on bent elbow in the left arm my arm has been broken in 3 places by the elbow which makes it almost impossible for me to keep left arm straight need help
Thanks for the video. I especially liked the idea of rotation around the forearm and not the wrist extension after impact. However, would this cause more of a hook and if it does how do you make it to a draw. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Excellent! Really well explained 👏
Giles, I hope you don’t get tired of hearing from me but it’s almost uncanny how each time I view one of your videos, it’s always one of the specifics I am having some difficulty with. Irons, driver, setup, finish, posture etc, always spot on and very clearly discussed and more importantly, demonstrated. Thank you very much for assisting this novice US golfer to greatly improve.
Hi Giles, Lovely, lovely stuff. Fantastic drills, so very much appreciated. And such a kind and friendly, but still very clear and structured presentation. A week of lessons with you would do miracles. But until then, I'll just have to carry you like a little angel on my shoulder. Thanks again, Giles ! 😊😊
Tom Saguto and Rob's comment section brought me here. That thumb pointed 45° and that's your set point…. GOLDEN
NEW SUB btw.
Hot stuff ! Thanks a lot 👌
