My name is Brian Fitzgerald - I'm an Australian full time golf coach living in Melbourne and coaching at the Eastwood Golf Club in Kilsyth..
FAQ:
How long have you been a golf coach? I qualified as a full member of the Australian PGA back in 1985. Wow I don't feel that old.
Why do you make videos for KZbin? That is a great question and one I get asked a lot. I love helping people play better golf and people tell me I have a very unique coaching style that is very simple to understand. We really should do things simpler. I just make them to help people and if people like my videos they can either come for a golf lesson in person or if that is not possible you could join my membership program and I can then view your golf swing or any part of your game and really help improve what you do.
Do you always change some ones golf swing? To be perfectly honest I try not to. If I do try to change some ones golf swing I have to have a pretty good reason for doing so and the client has to be fully engaged and committed to both regular coaching and practice in order to make that change. Most people say they will do both with good intentions but most fall away pretty quickly.
So my preference is to change things that will improve their score easily. There are so many different ways to do this.
What do you film with? - I have a few few different cameras I use. An old GoPro Hero 4, an iPhone 6 and iPhone X, A Sony ZV1 and an old Panasonic Handy cam (I'm using that less and less now). I record my sound on an old iPhone 4.
What do you edit with? - About a year ago I switched to Adobe Premiere - prior to that it was Pinnacle Studio
Do you make money off KZbin? - Yes.It took me over 100 videos to make my first total $100 off adsense and then another 50 videos to make my next $100. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.
I really enjoy your videos, how can I support you? - Here's my ko-fi where you can buy me a coffee, beer or a burger should you wish (kind of like giving me a tip via : ko-fi.com/theg...
Thanks for watching!
Brian

I do struggle in green side bunkers. Not in fairway bunkers though. This demonstration is the best I've seen and make perfect sense. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for this idea.

[@fitzygolfpro]

I’ve been using it with clients for over 25 years with great success. Just keep using it every now and again. Just keep the swing shallow. Brian

[@josephbremer8494]

As always, great tip, thanks, Doc!!!

[@fitzygolfpro]

My pleasure!

[@davidleigh2573]

Straight into the locker. Brilliant and unique. Thanks Brian.

[@fitzygolfpro]

Via the $2 shop I hope David. Brian.

[@billmalec]

Here in the States we seem to have very fluffy and thick traps. I find the firm and thinner sand traps much easier than the thick fluffy stuff.

[@fitzygolfpro]

It all comes down to technique and bounce Bill. It sounds like your technique is good nut your bounce angle may not be right for the soft fluffy stuff. A 12 or even 14 degree SW or LW in the thicker stuff might help without changing your technique. Brian

[@OzCats]

Morning Brian, What a great bunker tip. Well demonstrated on the use of a cutting board. Cheers Joe

[@fitzygolfpro]

Thanks Joe. Fitzy's tight ar%e training aids yet again. Brian

[@OzCats]

@@fitzygolfpro Keep finding these fantastic training aids Brian 💯💯💯

[@yupmeister7]

Thanks Brian! After our quick drill of hitting the cutting board on the driving range for better iron contact I played my best 18h round of golf to date. 2 pars, 3 bogeys, and 4 double bogeys. So satisfying and i think a significant factor was that quick drill. So Im thinking yes, works for bunkers as well as iron shots. Thanks for your help!

[@fitzygolfpro]

Good stuff! The old bread board has many uses as you have discovered. That is brilliant well done. Thanks for letting me know. Brian

[@j.mccarthy3008]

I’m going to give this a go, as they say. Years ago I went to a Dave Pelz short game school. I loved everything EXCEPT the bunker lesson. Maybe back then they couldn’t afford an actual bunker?? Anyway we did something similar. Put sand on a plastic board then hit. It didn’t work for me!! I’ll let you know!

[@fitzygolfpro]

I am sorry to hear about your poor experience in the bunker session. I have yet to see it fail in one of my lessons and I’ve been coaching almost 40 years. Things to keep in mind when you do it. You want a shallow angle of attack. Listen to the sound I was making in the video. I wasn’t thumping into the board. The more noise you make the steeper angle of attack. Depending on the bounce angle of your SW or LW you may be better keeping the clubface Square. Anything more than 10 degrees keep it square. My hero Seve Ballesteros always kept his club square. I do to. Let me know how it goes.

[@mikejarrett6144]

Thanks for all your tips Brian ! Sadly I’ve had to give up playing on a full size course because of my arthritis and COPD . I’m not strong enough to hit it far enough to enjoy it anymore , but have really appreciated your help over the years. I will continue to enjoy them !

[@fitzygolfpro]

I am very sorry to hear that Mike. I’ll keep the videos coming. Hopefully you can still put some work Into your shortgame on the short courses. Thanks for all of your support. Brian

[@mikejarrett6144]

Cheers mate !!

[@geoffcohen613]

In trouble with the good wife when i asked for her cutting board Now in my golf bag. Had to buy a new one, thanks the best tip in this video was where to get one at cheap shop and saved the day, and i am now allowed back out to play.

[@fitzygolfpro]

I should have said you need to clean it before putting it back in the kitchen Geoff.

[@geoffcohen613]

@@fitzygolfpro All jokes aside, a good tip. I found that if I come in to shallow the bounce of SW hits board and bellies the ball, not sure if you mentioned in video.

[@fitzygolfpro]

No I didn’t mention a lot in the video. I just showcased the drill. What I love about it is the drill gives you feed back as you have discovered. Great learning in there. Brian

[@jesseross3794]

love this one Brian. Thanks

[@fitzygolfpro]

Glad you enjoyed it Jesse. It is one of my favorites. I have been using it for over 30 years. Brian

[@marccouasnon6973]

J'aime bien l'idée, merci Brian ! Bonne journée et bon golf je vais néanmoins tester ça cette semaine, comme on ne peut toujours pas jouer sur le terrain détrempé, décemment.

ça ne va pas tarder maintenant Marc. c’est le moment idéal pour préparer votre jeu lorsqu’il est sec. Brian

Great tip Brian

[@eyesaidthat2109]

There's one very important thing you need....A bunker to practice in!

[@fitzygolfpro]

It does help sure. But if you don't have one here is a great way I have devised for you to practice at home without sand. kzbin.info/www/bejne/enrOhGB4p8R_isU Brian

[@AdiHughesGuitar]

Simple and succinct - cheers! Will you be following the Masters this week, any predictions?

[@fitzygolfpro]

I’ll watch some highlights but I have no clue who the winner will be other than I’m always hoping for an Aussie. Glad you liked the video Adi.

[@maxsmart8954]

i tried it the ball ended up 20 feet off the back of the green but my bread board ended up 3 feet from the hole. i will keep working on it!!

[@fitzygolfpro]

😀keep at it.

[@darrenmartinus9370]

Would a towel on a bread board work?

[@fitzygolfpro]

Absolutely Darren. I effectively did this in lock down with my junior classes that I ran on line. I even made a video (not a bread board but it was on my back deck which worked much in the same way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/enrOhGB4p8R_isU

[@dogloverjb6873]

its just a shallow strike...too many golfers swing down too much and get too much sand.

[@fitzygolfpro]

Exactly. It’s what I bang on about in every bunker video I have made in the past 10 years. The breadboard encourages the shallower strike without my intervention. I have used this drill for over 25 years and it just works. Thanks for watching. Brian

[@arielluna4399]

👍👏👍👏

[@gerardacronin334]

……and when you’re finished, don’t forget to wash the cutting board very well!

Well said. Put it back where you found it. Better not let the wife know you used it. Brian

Use a £10 note or a piece of paper a similar shape and size. Place your ball on top of it in the bunker. Try and hit the PAPER out of the bunker………

[@fitzygolfpro]

It is a good one indeed. I filmed. that one 10!years ago too. An oldie but a goodie. Thanks for sharing. Brian

[@Schnuffi666]

Come on fitzy ❤❤ rubbish 😂

[@tchevrier]

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think that was terrible advice. Practicing off a board like that is going to teach some bad habits. You need to let the bounce of the club do the work.

[@fitzygolfpro]

You are entitled to your opinion. This drill allows the bounce to do it's job. Ive have helped thousands of golfers with this drill over the past 39 of my coaching career. I know it works. Brian

[@craigferri2162]

Amateur golfers tend to hunt the ball. This tip helps build confidence to hit before the ball.

[@fitzygolfpro]

It sure does Craig. Brian

[@tchevrier]

@@craigferri2162 I find that it teaches amateur golfers to hit down on the ball, which is not a good thing to do in a bunker. If you are going to practice in a bunker, then practice hitting out of a bunker.
