For Birdie Golf
США
Добавлен 15 авг 2022
I have been playing golf for over 35 years and during that time I played on scholarship for the University of Texas Arlington and subsequently competed in various professional tournaments on several tours across the United States. I also tested golf clubs for Nike when they were still manufacturing clubs.
One thing I enjoy as much as playing golf is helping other players improve their games. My instruction style is to use simple language rather than confusing technical jargon to help people implement effective adjustments to their technique that results in better mechanics for improving the player's overall game (and reducing frustration).

How To Get A Better Turn With Your Driver
In this video, I cover a few ways you can get a more complete turn in your backswing with your Driver. This will allow you to get into a better position with your body and club at the top of the swing, build more power, and allow you to get into a great impact position.
Key Areas of Focus:
-Let the left knee (forward knee for the right-handed player) give a little, or another way of saying it, have it point to the ball as you make your backswing.
-Feel a stretch in your upper body on the right side throughout your chest. Sternum points away from the target completely.
-Ensure your left shoulder/front shoulder is behind the ball.
What this will do is allow you to use your hips and core correctl...

Simple Tip For How To Square The Clubface On The Downswing #golfswingtips #simplegolftips
Просмотров 61521 день назад
In this video, I cover how to square the clubface on the down swing. I go over what works for me and what I feel. One thing to note is that if you take the club away on a pretty good plan and have good positions at the top, you need to have your body, arms, and hands doing the correct things through impact in order to have a square clubface. The way I do that is to keep my left elbow pointed at...

How To Hinge The Driver In The Backswing I cover the hinge in the backswing for the driver in this video. For me, the first step in being able to hinge the club properly is to be getting into a good set up before you start your swing. I have my feet, knees, hips, and shoulders all square to my target and have a good athletic posture with a good spine angle and my left shoulder tilted slightly h...

Generating power in the golf swing is really important especially these days with the golf courses getting longer and longer. Additionally, if you can generate some power in your swing you will have more fun when you play. In this video, I show how to build torque in the golf swing. Torque comes from a combination of winding up the golf swing from the ground up and and unwinding starting with t...

Align Your Putter Grip With Your Zipper: Simple Tip For Putting Setup #puttingtips #putting
Просмотров 450Месяц назад
In this video, I go over a POV tip to get set-up properly and consistently to your putts. I am using a 33" Scotty Cameron putter so this tip is best served for those using 33-35" putters. I say this because there are extended length belly putters and arm-lock putters out there that use a bit of a different set-up technique. If you can get the shaft of the putter basically on your zipper line an...
Golf Mental Game Tip: Use The Bounce To Execute A Good Pitch Shot #pitchshot #golfpitchshot
Просмотров 959Месяц назад
In this video, I cover a good way to use the bounce properly on your wedges. The best players in the world chip and pitch the ball extremely well. One reason they do that is because they utilize the bounce properly. It also sounds different off the face when you use the bounce properly because the club hits the ball and turf at the same time. Without getting too technical, if you focus on keepi...

These videos are excellent. Quick and to the point. Many thanks!
Why is this better than a sand wedge?
Really good drill to warm up
Thanks for the feedback!
What’s your email? I want to show you my swing. I need to know more about the elbow rubbing against rib cage.
EXCELLENT!! I notice you have a trigger movement to help you take the club away. What is that movement? THANKS
@fredpodorf5890 For me, it's mostly sub-conscious now, but I used to work really hard on having a movement toward the target to start my swing. I still feel like my belt buckle bumps/rotates slightly toward the target to start the swing (it's just a small move) and that really activates my core and lower body. This video might help out: ruclips.net/video/bOc0LdiCSnA/видео.html Let me know if you would like to see something different!
THANK YOU
I'm working on my driver at the moment . This video was perfect as i had let a lot of these basics slip. Thanks
Love it! Glad to hear! Keep it up.
Very clear explanation. Thanks
@ericmackenzie123 you are welcome! Let me know if you want me to cover another topic, will get it posted.
That’s great tip, timely I was pulling my puts yesterday so now know to move ball and putter back from my lead foot. 👍
@@anthonyviola9400 Awesome!
Thx brother..luv from Ontario/Russell
Glad it helped!
Spine tilt at address too ?
Absolutely, I go over spine tilt and more details on set-up in some of my other videos. For me, a good check is to stand straight up, bend at the hips until you feel a slight pull in the hamstrings, and then from there a slight bend in the knees. The spine piece takes care of itself. You will be in a good tilt for your height etc... Hope that makes sense.
This makes no sense to beginners. Turn your phone sideways to record.
great visual aid
Thank you! Hope it helps. Let me know if there is anything you want me to cover.
If you are hitting like any pro swing, that driveway marker will hit you in the gut just after impact.
Not sure what pro swings you are watching, but here is another video to watch ruclips.net/video/P9yUyiDgyWc/видео.html He is pretty good and says the same thing using a shaft extension and pencil. Notice how it gives him the feel to use his hips and body correctly through impact. I agree, it is really challenging to make that move if you are used to flipping at the ball. Seems impossible really. It really won't hit your belly if you clear properly in your swing. I can see it grazing your backside with a faster swing, but that is your backside not your belly. Cheers.
great tip
Thanks!
I’m new to golf but do you want to make contact with the ground before or after the ball
@YoungDisciple90 Great question. For pitches/chips, I always try to hit the ground the ball sits on, or ball and ground at the same time. That will give you solid contact and prevents fat/chunky shots and the thin shots. With irons, I like to say, hit the little ball then the big ball or golf ball before turf/earth. Your divot with irons starts at the ball and goes forward not before the ball which produces (fat/chunky shots). Hope that helps!
This is great! As constructive feedback, I’d ask that you set up another camera so that we can see the result of that shot u just hit.
@insanegamer202 Thanks for the reply! Yes, I agree! I will get another video out and will get some down the line shots, different angles, and some shot tracer vids going so you can see the full shot. Anything else you would like to see? Thanks again. -MC
@@forbirdiegolf I’m a new golfer been studying pretty hard so like almost 3 months in and I’m shooting around 120 so for me any tips on breaking 100 would be awesome. Thanks for helping golfers all around the world get better!
👍 simple explanation, thanks john
Glad you like it!
That's a great, easy way of putting it. Hope to see more
@JoseRivera-lc7jn Thanks! Let me know if you have anything you want covered.
Good shetup 😂
Yeah, golf can get you tongue-tied for sure. But a rose by any other name...so, shetup or setup...no matter how you say it, you will get good results if you pay attention to your magic elbow!
gonna try that one, thnx.
Thanks! Love your music!
@@forbirdiegolf same name different guy.
Line up my shafts, got it
Your really good mate, this finally makes sense to me
Thanks! Glad it helped!
Makes sense
Good!
Thank you for replying will get it a try. 62 years old distance good consistency not so good trying to get a consistent feel or motion to swing down from anyway thanks for the tips.
Keep it up! Let me know how things work out!
Would you explain how you hinge up to the top of your swing
From the position shown halfway back, my thought process and feel is to allow the club to lead the way to the top. Everything else follows. Another way or feel would be to get to the position shown in the thumbnail and then from there feel like you are sticking your thumbs in your right ear =-), seriously. Would it help if I made a video with a driver and the hinge Keep in mind, some players are late with their hinge and others are early club setters.
@JohnHiers I just released a video that covers the driver hinge: ruclips.net/video/CRU51GElyl0/видео.html Hope this helps!
Excellent tip thank you
You're welcome! Hope it helps and let me know if you have anything else you want me to cover.
Bullshit. Show me how to hit a driver first!
Ha! I'll have one out soon.
@bobskaftfeld5611 Here's a video that covers the fundamentals of hitting a driver. Hope it helps! ruclips.net/video/F4KECG9PnJ8/видео.html
Love your style. To the point, no frills. I’m a solid 6 hdcp. Can you add heel shots to the wish list? From dtl view everything looks stellar, then last nanosecond heel is delivered. So frustrating. If I may explain more: keeping angles, wrist structure (structure ball between arms, or even a trail wrist extension gadget for example increases problem). I’m probably not explaining well, but appreciate.
Thank you! Thanks for the description. If I am understanding correctly, sounds like you have good positions on the downswing but the clubhead is open/having trouble squaring the face at impact? Are you blocking shots to the right? If what I am saying is accurate, I have a great response to that. Let me know, thanks! I will get a video out on that.
@BM-wt4ch linking a new video here that may help with squaring the clubface at impact. ruclips.net/video/3Eb9wxdor6o/видео.html
Fabulous
Thanks! Let me know if there is a topic you would like covered!
THANK YOU AGAIN!!
You're welcome! Let me know if you have other questions or if there are techniques/drills you want me to cover.
EXCELLENT THANKS!!
You're welcome!!
Thank You The golf rope drill is by Dr. Kwon
I think the Dr. Kwon rope drill is good, however, I would like to see more rotation with the body on the way back and through. In other words, a little less steep on the way down to promote a more shallow hit.
Nice straight shot ! The right elbow's position is crucial in the downswing ! Well hit !
Thank you!
How do you control distances?
O man, the golden question! I like to control the backswing length (how far I take the club away) and make it consistent for certain distances ie: a 10 yrd pitch to a 20 yrd pitch etc. The same concept rings true for half to 3/4 to full shots as well. Find what length of backswing produces the yardage/flight in which you are seeking. My downswing has the same amount of effort so again it all comes back to the backswing. Longer backswing -> longer shot. You could think of it as taking the club below hip height, to hip height, to above hip height (3/4 swing), to full backswing depending on the desired shot. Does that make sense?
@@forbirdiegolf Yes indeed thanks for your response… practice makes perfect or permanent 😂
Hey man, enjoying the lessons. In this method, is the right elbow coming into or near the right hip as the left hip rises?
Yes! I like to think about dropping my hands from the top of the swing into my right pocket/same as keeping your right elbow tucked in. Another thought, same result, is to try and have your right elbow rub your right side on the way through.
Hi Excellent!! 2 questions: 1- Would swinging a rope do the same? 2- What swing trigger/movement do you recommend to actually start the golf swing? THANK YOU
@fredpodorf5890 Can you clarify the first question regarding the rope? For #2 check this out: ruclips.net/video/bOc0LdiCSnA/видео.html For me, I like to have a slight hip bump to the target to start my swing. It feels natural and creates a smoother motion for my backswing. I recommend doing something like that, whatever feels natural to you.
Great demo!
Thanks, hope it helps!
Great tip.
Thank you!
So, keep the hips quiet? Thanks
@ST-xg3gy yes, my hips just turn (may be a little on the back swing and turn through the ball) on chips/pitches, never really creating any angles like up or down.
Well explained. I'm just now coming to terms with not swinging with arms and hands. Would another way to think about it be to think as though you're swinging with your shoulders?
@ST-xg3gy yes, I think that would be a good feel as long as you feel the club "fall" from the top. In other words, you do not want the shoulders pulling the club over the top on the way down. Shoulders turn through as the club falls/drops on the way down.
Great video. Only problem I have is I can't find out your name or where you teach at physically if you do give lessons.
First sentence- Mark Campbell
Thanks - glad you liked the video. My name is Marc Campbell and I am located in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area. At this time, I'm not affiliated with a course but I do give in-person lessons on a case-by-case basis. If you are local and interested in lessons, let me know.
How do I contact you for lessons ? I live In dallas
@omargarcia9115 contact me at campbellmarc7@gmail.com

Yes! The release is coming out the 27th. Great suggestion.
@JohnHiers the release video went live today. Hope it helps! ruclips.net/video/vhmhO5_EoM0/видео.html
Can you do the takeaway with driver
Yes, absolutely! Will get that one done & posted ASAP.
Posting the video link here for the driver takeaway drill in case someone sees this comment and wants to see the tip: ruclips.net/video/ROH7wyVQvyI/видео.html
Very helpful tips for scoring during a round. I noticed you kept your arms / forearms close together thru impact zone, why is that important?
Great point, I try to keep connected so I can hit the same positions with each swing. If the arms get loose, you can't maintain a consistent swing.
I did not know that- thank you!
You're welcome - glad it was helpful!
Thanks again keep them coming great advice
Thank you! Keep the suggestions coming - they are very helpful.
Excellent keep en coming great tip
Thank you!!
Great advice. One tip. Go out in your yard and practice getting the feel of hitting a flop shot. Just spend 20 - 30 minutes hitting 30, 20, and 10 yard flops daily for a few weeks. Guarantee you will see improvement next time you go play.
Love that comment. You are spot on. I literally did that from 2nd to 12th grade.
