⛳️ Golf Teaching Philosophy:
Mark has extensive experience teaching a variety of golf students including top professional golfers to first-time golf beginners. He teaches both male and female golf students, junior and senior golfers, and is also qualified in teaching golfers with disabilities or special needs. He understands that students are all different and have to be taught as individuals.
A proponent of proper impact fundamentals, Mark, bases his communication with students on simplicity. He is constantly searching for new ways to downsize the golf swing and its components for his students. His instruction includes the latest in technology and a variety of drills that help students make the appropriate changes to their golf swing. The technology assists in diagnosis and giving feedback on each swing, while the drills help students to retrain their motor pattern.
Mark believes that the game of golf is as hard as we make it. Students have access to more information than ever through the internet, portable devices with swing capture, KZbin, etc.... If we continue to overanalyze our golf swing further confusion is inevitable. This confusion leads to doubt. Once doubt enters into the equation and our confidence is damaged, the game has won.
Mark teaches that a golf swing starts with practical fundamentals to fit a student’s particular pattern. Since using TrackMan his focus has turned to helping students create proper impact alignments. He prefers to use the swing each student possesses if it is functional in producing the desired impact. Mark’s goal is to help a student identify and understand the tendencies in their golf swing. The student can then work to improve and eliminate these tendencies.
Mark feels strongly that to make a change in the golf swing takes time and practice. If a student is looking for short term success, Mark will work exclusively on the short game. Many students have taken five to ten strokes off their score in one month with intensive short game training. As for the full swing, it can take a student much longer to become comfortable and see results. Playing lessons are an essential part of his training so students can learn to take it to the golf course - where it counts!

Great drill. My bad drives always come from trying for distance. I need to hit more balls on the center of the club face and make sure path is right. Distance always follows. Balance is usually key. Thanks

[@DurlandGolfSchoolNaples]

My pleasure Chris! Glad you found the video helpful. 😀

[@edwardrodine9346]

Very clear instruction with drills that can be practiced on the range.

[@DurlandGolfSchoolNaples]

Thanks Edward! I appreciate your kind words. All the best!

[@norseman5662]

Really good coaching tips, simple to digest!

[@DurlandGolfSchoolNaples]

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. All the best!

[@robertallen4116]

Great drill! I hope to fix mt slice with these practice drills and become more consistent. I am really glad to finally find some video content for left handed golfers! Where I live in Ottawa Canada there are only two left handed golf teachers and neither is anywhere close to where I live. Thanks, I hope to see more videos. Robert

[@DurlandGolfSchoolNaples]

My pleasure Robert! Glad you found and are enjoying my KZbin channel. I try to put a new video out every other Tuesday (post Covid). I have four shot I'm editing right now. In the summer I stock up as I'm too busy teaching in the winter. All the best!

[@robl7798]

As always this is helpful.

[@DurlandGolfSchoolNaples]

Thanks Rob! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@robertmazzarachio7939]

As a Lefthanded golfer I’m not hitting the heel but after struggling with a slice I’m now pulling the ball far right any suggestions appreciated in advance

[@DurlandGolfSchoolNaples]

Hi Robert! Thank you for your comment! Take a look at this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJCmfWmvq7WheJI

[@williambolton6071]

Good review of the basics. The comments made by Chris Kehoe are similar to mine. As soon as I try to hit the ball harder for distance my faults show up. I love how you hit it so pure every time. Thanks for the videos, as my game is the best it has been ever....

[@DurlandGolfSchoolNaples]

Thanks Bill! Glad you enjoyed the video and are playing great golf!

[@douglaswoodworth7329]

Hey Mark, seemed like this was taylor made for me as it covered alot of what we've worked on in past. One question, I know this was for the Driver, but how much if any will these principles apply as we go through shorter clubs? Can/should I employ them with fairway woods, hybrids? Thanks

[@DurlandGolfSchoolNaples]

Hi Doug! Great to hear from you. What I discussed in this video can be applied to every club in the bag. People enjoy driver videos that's why I directed it more towards the driver. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

[@orkayen]

Very nice swing. It appears that at address, your stance is closed, hands are behind the ball, ball is at the heel of the club head. Are these some of the factors for straighter shots?

[@DurlandGolfSchoolNaples]

Thank you! No just personal preferences that fit my pattern.

[@robertmazzarachio7939]

My problems all lie with over swinging , I practice a nice slow swing but when I tee it up on the course I’m looking to kill it 🤷‍♂️

[@DurlandGolfSchoolNaples]

Hey Robert! I hear that a lot! Take a look at this video: GOLF TIP | How To SWING SMOOTHLY In GOLF kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZCwgZykrLWksK8
