Hi Marcus Awesome as per usual. After our lesson two weeks ago , played in the comp on Sunday. By using your instructions and what I need to do. I won the comp 😂 I shot two over par on 18 holes and down to 7 now. Many thanks Marcus
This man has to be one of the top 5 golf instructors in the world. Every video I’m left with my jaw dropped to the floor. Learning the swing from the ground up distinguishes this channel from EVERY golf channel on YT. Bring Zen to the US please!
Thank you, current handicapp of 22.7 Just shot 85 after following your instruction .👍 After years of playing and lessons feel like a golfer at last at 67.
This guy looks like he is generally unsure of himself in everyday life, but after this he is not going to be! Every good shot he tended to cover his mouth out of disbelief, was so afraid to say he felt out of control in the swing!! By the end even his posture changed and he looked more confident!!! Awesome job Marcus!! Congrats to this man for letting go and getting better!!
This is pure priceless Marcus. I play off 5 and have a dominant upper body swing. My pro at the moment is getting me the do the exact same thing as your teaching tom. I'm very mechanical, he's teaching me to move more naturally and let the club flow. It's a strange feeling and when you initially start doing it strike obviously suffers but when you actually do get all the body movements right it's effortless.. Keep teaching your way. In my opinion it's how the game needs to be taught. Golf should be a reactive game instead we're being fed position ideas based off slow motion analysis.
Im really on this journey to find my "swing identity" as well and a few things you say go off like rockets in my brain. when you said swinging out and letting it "freewheel" it made me realize I have no clue what that feels like. I can actually feel myself steering the club around in my swing.. one of the best parts of this video are from about 9:30-10:10... you can actually see him SWINGING the club and letting it just go. I have a feeling this will help me a lot. its amazing to me in that time frame of the video how different he looks especially in the release and followthrough that was non existent before. sure wish i could travel to the UK for a lesson! ha
Another great video. I love the way you teach the mechanics and (probably more importantly) the feel of the golf swing. Not too technical, whilst keeping it simple and easy to understand. 👍👍👍
This is the first session i have watched for a while Marcus. The change was unbelievable. My elbows are finally pain free and i have my first round on Sunday. Actually it will be the first time i have swung a club since the December lockdown. It is a society round but i'm going to try and treat it as a practice round and put into practice what i learnt last December. Fingers crossed.
Amazing! A game changer- thinking about what you want the shot to be. I love watching you guys follow the shot, which seems to take forever to come down.
That's what I love about golf. You only need to have one fantastic shot per round (tee shot, approach shot or a putt) to make it worthwhile. You can see how ecstatic this guys is at 6.25 when the lesson starts to pay off.
I took the move shown at 8:40 to the driving range yesterday, combined that with the "let go" part and the Saguto golf tip to keep weight forward (45/55%) and my 7i went from 156 to 176 yards with a great contact on the ball (ball first). The practice move shown at 8:40 makes sense to me since it reminds me of disc golf shots, which im kind of decent at.
Great stuff. Very similar to how Shaun Clement teaches in the US. All about activating a kinetic thought that the body recognises and doesn't need to think about, and not forcing it. Like throwing the club out to your target and letting the hands naturally release as a result.
Videos are brilliant. The improvement us night and day. Ever had a cack hander in your bay? Be impressed if you can get a draw flight path with that grip lol
Marcus great video as usual. At 08:34, whan you say to push down the club, could we say that the swing ends there? The impact and the finish are "passive" elements of something built before?
Good Video a ton of technique - goes to range and boom what happened I suck again:) Wish the Audio was better I have this blasted and can barely hear please reupload better audio. Cheers!
Love you're videos and the progress of the students is unreal. I would love a lesson however to far away. Would the purchase of a grf board and with your video give me similar results? Or can you recommend a coach in Scotland?
hello. Im a 30 handicap and have been for 25 yrs. I can't get any consistency , poor swing and inconsistent contact. Really need help but am located in Canada, Toronto.Just once Id like to win a round. Where are you located.? Any thoughts ??
This is a system I've developed over many years and is unique in approach. Only myself and my team at Bawtry GC coach using this system as its takes years of mentorship to develop the efficacy of practice. Thanks 👍
I’m finally understanding the need to push off and against the ground - I think what I still need help comprehending is the relationship between aiming/clubface/swing path.. Thanks so much for your awesome videos !
Wonderful results. Of course in the law suit happy USA my heart was in my throat while he would swing on the twisting pads lol. Love the sound improvement
Could you do a video with someone who gets their head in front of the ball. Everyone who has been recorded don't have that issue. I do. And it has been plaguing me for years and has lead to inconsistent contact of the golf ball.
Yes Good point. I does this with my driver. Hence the lack.of distance. I can carry my 8 iron 145-150 but only hit my driver 200! Loads of spin no roll. Frustration
Thanks brother. Yeah getting better. Filmed my swing and not only was my head moving fwd but my upper body was creating a pull when I hit it farther. Basically I am keeping the head back at impact now but it still feels strange. When I hit it well at least its rolling out in fairway now. Best ones up to 225-230 which is a huge improvement! Now I can reach par 4 in two on most holes.G.I.R. up from 1 or 2 to 5-6. Back down to 78-82. Happy! Now back to the gym for core strength after 2 year hiatus! Best of luck to you. Let me know how you are doing!
His comments about moving ring loud and clear.. TO ME... that feeling of moving helps me weight shift - just watch Kyle Berkshire in long ball comps, he rocks back and forth. It can help an AM get that feeling of weight transfer that will help bring all of the other elements of the swing together.
@@GRFGolf that’s ok. I believe I can make great improvements just by watching your videos. I’m a 10 handicap now and reach my goal of 5 this summer because I found you on RUclips. Thx you system is awesome!
@@GRFGolf So sorry to hear this - I think that the areas you worked on with Tom are very similar to the areas I have identified - it would have been helpful to get the fuller insight given from watching the whole session. Thank you for continuing this super approach to the game of golf
@John McG He's 28 on a golf course where the s**t gets real, hazards, club choice, course management. We can all flatter to deceive on a driving range. I play off 26 and do the same thing, hit some great shots off the green carpet but have yet to transfer that consistently when it matters ... when I play a round.
@@bobclarke5290 No sarcasm, just don't see any need for negative comments when there's so much variety on RUclips to suit all tastes and comment positively on. We all need positivity and to support each other, especially in the current climate.

You can't beat that feeling when it all clicks, awesome coach 😎⛳
What a result. Your teaching methods have no equal, fascinating watching how you continually improve all those you work with.
So happy for him, this video gave me the tip needed which my memory refuses to maintain. Right hand initiates power down and not toward the ball!
Thank you so much, I tried this and completely changed my game.
What a transformation 🏌️♂️👏🏻
Another great video. I love the way you teach the mechanics and (probably more importantly) the feel of the golf swing. Not too technical, whilst keeping it simple and easy to understand. 👍👍👍
Brilliant absolutely brilliant 🤩
The first down the line shots around 14:30 or so...just wow! Just an amazing change.
Superb - great teacher and brilliant student. What a result well done
great coaching. talented student.
Once again, Marcus working his Magic. Just awesome.
What an amazing video and lesson, will have to check out some more of your videos 💪
By far the best lesson I’ve ever seen!
This is the first session i have watched for a while Marcus. The change was unbelievable. My elbows are finally pain free and i have my first round on Sunday.

Such a great teacher!
Night and day difference! Well done!
Love the biomechanical approach, FEEL 👍👍👍. Spot on video from start to finish
What a beautiful sound when he connects with the ball.👍
Marcus the magic man at it again 🪄

Wow what a lesson!!!!!
so cool. revolutionary
Best video ever of a teeny weeny golfing Yoda in action teaching a giant (3:35). :) Camera angle really tickled me!
I took the move shown at 8:40 to the driving range yesterday, combined that with the "let go" part and the Saguto golf tip to keep weight forward (45/55%) and my 7i went from 156 to 176 yards with a great contact on the ball (ball first).

Amazing progress. Loving these videos Marcus.
lol yeah I'd be taking a double take if you said you were a 28...that contact is nice for a beginner mate, keep at er!
Great stuff coach and well done Tom.
Amazing I need a lesson from you
Fantastic lesson an improvement from him. One of your best lessons Marcus. He was a good student wasn't he, took it on board really well.
Where do we find Zen golf lessons in the UK…, do you ever do clinics in the US?
Going to save up for a trip across the pond.
Marcus great video as usual. At 08:34, whan you say to push down the club, could we say that the swing ends there? The impact and the finish are "passive" elements of something built before?
👍
Where are you based? I need this exact lesson, Toms struggles are identical to mine!
Good Video a ton of technique - goes to range and boom what happened I suck again:) Wish the Audio was better I have this blasted and can barely hear please reupload better audio. Cheers!
i'm so annoyed and impressed at the same time.......well done!!!!
Awesome 👏
Marcus, you’ve added some color to the wardrobe! I thought it was an imposter😄
“The key to this is to not try.” Why is that so difficult?
😂😂
Hard to believe a guy with that swing is a 28 handicap golfer. He must not be able to putt at all. Nice lesson, good tips.
Great stuff Marcus but if that guy has a 28 handicap he must have a horrid short game. Lol
So fucking what, he’s there for a lesson and he knows why, you don’t know why he’s a 28 handicapper so leave the dude alone
@@morganwalker1392 He's complimenting his swing.
@@morganwalker1392 angry much? 🤣
@@morganwalker1392 are you joking, because that was hilarious
I’m that guy. Can confirm short game is shite 😂. But getting better and this lesson really transformed my long game. Last round was a 93.
Is there some way you can improve the audio quality in your teaching studio?
Love you're videos and the progress of the students is unreal. I would love a lesson however to far away. Would the purchase of a grf board and with your video give me similar results? Or can you recommend a coach in Scotland?
Vulnerability with men is not easy. 'That was funny means', 'thank you so f#$king much, you have changed my life' '💟

Is there a coach like this in Australia?
This is a system I've developed over many years and is unique in approach. Only myself and my team at Bawtry GC coach using this system as its takes years of mentorship to develop the efficacy of practice. Thanks 👍
Do you have an instructor in the US?
This is the best i've seen. Im like "We need to go to the UK." screaming at my wife. Im speechless.
I’m finally understanding the need to push off and against the ground - I think what I still need help comprehending is the relationship between aiming/clubface/swing path..
Thanks so much for your awesome videos !
Great videos, any chance to improve the audio please (would wearing microphone help)
Wonderful results. Of course in the law suit happy USA my heart was in my throat while he would swing on the twisting pads lol. Love the sound improvement
13:00 is the actual break through in this lesson. this was my problem in my first year of golfing. once you learn to release everything just clicks
Hi what do you call those discs you stand on or where can i buy ?
Thank You
They're part of our GRFi system. You can buy similar on ebay. Balance rotating discs 👍
@@GRFGolf Thank you
do you have what u teach in Australia
Not related to this topic... but wondering what happend to Zen putters?
To be relaunched very soon 👍
@@GRFGolf excellent, as I consider zen putter are of most underrated putter. For now i am gamming 2010 open championship RDE prototype

Brilliant

Sorry only my team in Bawtry, England.
@@GRFGolf that’s ok. I believe I can make great improvements just by watching your videos. I’m a 10 handicap now and reach my goal of 5 this summer because I found you on RUclips. Thx you system is awesome!
not the question. The question is what actually is hia handicap now
Brill.
Marcus, I would really like to watch the whole session - is this possible? Is there a link you can publish? Tx
Sorry we can't publish this. The audio is so bad atm with construction taking place next to the driving range.
@@GRFGolf So sorry to hear this - I think that the areas you worked on with Tom are very similar to the areas I have identified - it would have been helpful to get the fuller insight given from watching the whole session.
Thank you for continuing this super approach to the game of golf
shot tracer effect better now
Please give us better audio! The lessons are great btw
We're working on it 👍
@@GRFGolf 👍👍👍
Wasn’t his first barbecue
even those first swings looked nothing like any 28 handicapper I've ever seen... and I've seen a LOT
That ain’t a 28 hcp swing don’t bullshit, love this channel though.
Yeah bandit swing 😂😂 we don't make the handicaps up, it's what the pupil tells us they play off.
@@GRFGolf great teaching love it
this would be better if you guys were mic'd up.
Haha when Marcus is holding the hoop in front he’s behind the wall whereas for the +2 the other day he wasn’t worried about the shank
😂😂 The new Zen greenstage takes more space so the player is in a different position now 👍
Why is he playing off a snooker table?.😂
😂😂
28 handicapper with average 210 yd drives, yeah not bad...
Triangle of shoulders and arms at address just get it back repeat at impact forget club
If he’s 28 I must be about 36 instead of 17 no way. Someone a bit more believable please.
@John McG He's 28 on a golf course where the s**t gets real, hazards, club choice, course management. We can all flatter to deceive on a driving range.

Wrong channel for you mate 👍
Ya right there, crap
