Tiger Woods Ex-Coach Fixed My Short Game with THIS Drill!

[@purgasoj]

The more and more I watch Sean coach, the more I appreciate him. Im a believer in the prosdr as well. Simple yet very well made that can help in a variety of ways. Lastly- seeing Micah in this light makes me a bigger fan. Micah- keep being humble and eager to learn like you did in this video. It was one of the realest videos i have seen you in. Keep it up and keep banging

[@koriewalker9684]

Man This was deep but love all the information. We wouldn't learn anything. watching Micah hit balls but Sean explaining it really helps to understand the swing!

[@CavalierGolfAcademyNPO]

I think this is an amazing video!! I truly appreciate the way Mr. Foley is able to articulate what he’s looking for his player’s to think and feel and try. I also appreciate that he asked for Mr. Morris’ input and feedback and then pivoted as needed until Mr. Morris felt and saw the improvement he was look for. Great content Mr. Morris!!

[@aleksilepisto7282]

The amount of good information and nuggets of stuff that shows you how traditional golf instruction was flawed in this video is huge. The funniest part is that people in comments are complaining it’s too complex and too long. It’s an hour long lesson to a player who can understand the technical explanations. It’s not for average KZbin golfer bro. Hand path, wrist angles, etc all clearly explained and demonstrated. Most people will never get a lesson this detailed in their life and they’re complaining here instead. Actually hilarious. It’s like giving someone an encyclopedia to digest for a year and they want cliff notes bro.

This is such a great insight into how to think and how to get better fundamentally. As a golfer with interest but limited understanding of mechanics in golf this is grade A, and really nice to see the legendary coach and Micah lay out basics. Sean is clearly a guy who loves to teach and its so fun to get his perspective as someone who grew up in the Tiger era wondering about what kind of stuff happened in the background. Awesome stuff!!

Sean seems to know himself and his strength is relentless learning - his weakness is imparting all that wisdom and enthusiasm in a simple easy to access manner. He admits preferences and also knows there are lots of ways to do “it”. Remember how wack Nicklaus was in the short game-good luck to Micha in-adapting his technique from long game to short - he had this same lesson with Jt some months back just more bro concepts😊

Sean is great, I think he gets a little chatty but that's just his personality. He's a student of the game and always evolving his approach. I am a BIG fan and I resonate with much of what he teaches. Edited so my message didn't come off negative - Micah keep up the great work man, I love a lot of the content you put out and really appreciate you showing behind the scenes of the golf game. I'd be curious to know if you've talked to people about the mental side of the game. That's where my struggles sit sometimes with the game right now and I'm wondering if it'd benefit you as well.

I’m sure he could just tell Micah what to do and he’d do it, but for Micah to know WHAT he’s doing and WHY is so much more important. He’s massively grown in information and teaching since his Tiger days, and there’s a reason he coaches lots of successful guys, and guys like Chris Como and David Woods are doing the same thing. To be a professional, you need to understand the theory and why. Y’all just think 2 TikTok minute swing tips are gonna fix your slice lmao.

When watching Dan Grieve discuss the same subject it’s night and day difference with this guy. He makes it simple, with key points as takeaways, he lets the student try it and then tweaks. Foley yaps for 30 mins lets the guy hit one shot then takes the club off him and yaps some more. He is over teaching and making it more complex. Make it simple, make it clear and concise. This, when you are struggling will just confuse golfers more. Might be different when teaching tour pros, but watching this will not help the viewers, and wouldn’t help many golfers at all, even if playing at a decent level, and I’d bet, Micah walks away taking little from it.

Hi Tig.... I'm a golf pro/coach up here in Canada. I've seen your lessons with a few different coaches now, and they have all been good. This one for your short game is also good... but what you need the most is ACCURACY. Wouldn't you like to hit the ball dead straight at your target all the time? You can easily learn to do it. It is not difficult to learn. It just isn't taught. Most coaches coach players to hit a ball with curve. I don't...I coach players to hit the ball dead straight...every time. If you would like to know more, let me know, and we can connect....I wager I could sort you out with a phone call. Cheers.

[@Arkan-qm3kc]

How about a lesson for us mortals lol. I’m down

[@rowdyroddy519]

Sure @@Arkan-qm3kc It mostly involves this basic principle... * Whenever the clubshaft is level to the ground.. it should also be parallel to your target line. * If your grip and alignment are good, ....and as you swing, you get those alignments correct, it will produce an on plane swing ... and that plane is aligned with your target line, producing a zero'd club path which will then produce a straight ball flight, that goes to your target. It works with all types of different swing styles, and body types, because it focuses on working the tool (golfclub) properly first, ...then the body adapts to that intention. As your body motion gets better as your swing evolves.. the working of the tool(golf club) remains a constant. That is the most important thing.. working the club correctly. Cheers.

That level parallel happens 5 times.. ( if your club gets to level parallel at top of backswing) or 4 times if your backswing is shorter.

I’m 23 minutes in and really trying to give this an honest assessment. Seems to me like a lecture at Yappers University, he’s clearly really knowledgeable but it was all scatter brained and hard to follow, Was this a one time lesson so he was trying to fit everything into one session? Very possible, I think you should be able to explain something to a 3 year old and have them understand it, this was a poor job of that. I wonder why Micah doesnt work with one coach for a prolonged period of time. Interested to hear others thoughts 💭 Update: started getting better towards 35min when Micah started actually hitting balls, again not my favourite teaching style but if Micah felt he took something away from this, that’s all that matters Update 2: watched Grants video, much better display of coaching + student relationship, good lessons too, easier to follow

[@Chris54321]

You are right. I just figured this out after countless failures. Now everything happens naturally. If I have a consistent grip that in my mind matches my right hand to the clubface, then I just need to get my right hand to the ball. My brain automatically figures out the transition, the weight shift, and finally separating my hips from my shoulders. I guess some people are pullers, and some are throwers but pulling doesn't work for me. The only thing my brain can accomplish left handed is catching a baseball.

[@WbulzaXXIII]

The golf swing IS and always will be a throwing motion more than a pulling motion. Me personally was teach by all instructors to feel it in my left hand and left side. They should be in prison. Use your right side, right shoulder, right hand, right hip all going together and forget about opening up because it will happen automatically. Sr. You’re smart person for discerning misinformation. I had to learn all aspects of this shit because influencers and instructors where teaching crap and making things more difficult. Now, you can enjoy the game.
