My name is Brian Fitzgerald - I'm an Australian full time golf coach living in Melbourne and coaching at two venues. The Morack Public GC in Vermont South and the Lang Lang GC in beautiful South Gippsland (An hour and a quarter from Melbourne) where there are lot's of Kangaroos.
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 RUclips? 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 RUclips? - 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/thegolfdoctor
Thanks for watching!

How did I miss this video? This has been my problem for ages. Actually found out and been working on it for a little while and it makes such a massive difference.
I'm glad you found it Robert. If you don't want to miss a video
Brian the best way to be notified is to join my newsletter www.thegolfdoctor.com.au
That way you will be notified of every video I release.
I am glad it has helped you. You are right it does make such a difference.
Thanks doc! Been having trouble hitting my irons all 120
Just work on releasing a bit earlier and you should see a difference between clubs.
Brian
OMG Fitzy BRILLIANT 👏 wow i was taught this 40yrs ago by Al. But everyone now wants to say No dont let yr wrist roll ...damm i am now CRUNCHING my irons thnks mate cheers so good to finally find you
Your hands are your power source Philip.
Crunch away.
Brian
Great lesson. Can’t wait to try it
It will work a treat for you.
Thanks, Brian, for this great demonstration.
My pleasure Paul. I am glad it has helped your understanding
Brian
Excellent video! I have been struggling with this. Can't wait to try it.
Thank you fo your feed back Mike. Let me know how it goes with your practice.
Brian
Thanks for putting this up!
My pleasure!
I am glad you got something out of it.
Brian
American bloke here. Nice. Love it fitzy.
My pleasure Oliver. Thanks for etting me know. I hope it made sense to you.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
THANK YOU for this video!!!
My pleasure Luis. I am glad you enjoyed it. I really appreciate your feed back.
Brian
Wow , explained so much, makes so much sense, totally true
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Brian
Your best video that I've viewed.
Thank you Tommy.
Brian
The demo shot with blocked wirsts was SO MUCH my average shot, I can simply not believe it. Thanks for the wonderful explanation!
My pleasure. It is something I see a lot as a full time golf coach. So I thought I would make a video about it.
Thanks for watching. I am glad you enjoyed it.
Brian
Thanks Brian, another good tip 👍
I appreciate the feed back Ian.
Brian
Thank you! Just starting golf and was having trouble hitting my irons different distances. Thanks again doc
Welcome back Eric.
I’m glad the video was helpful.
Brian
Brilliant. Thankyou. Off to the range tomorrow..
I’m glad you got something out of it Lyndon.
I hope the range session goes well.
Brian
This is 100% me. I play cricket apparently lol. I can't wait to test the real release at the range. Thank you for one of the easiest and most comprehensible video I have ever seen on golf.
Thank you @Frederic Chin . I am glad the video made sense to you. I am a simple golf coach and try to make videos in the same manner that I coach.
I would love to know how it goes so please keep me posted.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Thank god I found this video, thank you very much!!
I'm glad it helped!
It is such a common question when I see a new client I thought I had better make a video about it.
That is quite often where I get most of my ideas for video content. Directly from people I coach.
There are 400+ other videos I have made. Some of which you might also enjoy.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Had this problem for about 3 wks,2 yrs ago.mayb 20yds between 9 and 4 irons.Eventually traced it to sciatica keeping me from fully turning thru impact.Quitting for good was an option,loosening up b4 round saved it.cheers.
I am glad you enjoyed it Kenny.
I am glad your sciatica has improved and you are able to keep playing.
I have a client that suffers the same thing.
It is caused by poor posture (for him). As soon as he feels it it triggers a posture improvement and he is all good again.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Dealing with same exact problem from sciatica. Lost 20 yards per club at least. Hopefully will get better someday.
Sorry to hear that. I hope you find a way to improve it. I have had a few clients improve by seeing a good physiotherapist.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
THANK YOU! I have recently restarted trying to play. I played a bit as a teen and young adult (I'm 67 now). I was on the range this morning and was hitting all the long clubs about the same distance, so when I saw your title, I had to watch. I'll be trying out your tips. I really like your style of presentation, BTW.
Welcome back to the game. I am glad you have found it.
Watching all of your balls go similar distances with different clubs can be very frustrating.
The video will help you understand why and point you in the right direction for fixing it.
Thank you for your nice comments about my video. I want people to have the same experience they would get if they were having a real life golf lesson from me.
Best of luck with your golf and thanks for watching.
Brian
Happy New year Brian all the best for 2020✌️
Thanks John. The same to you..
Brian
Great video many thanks makes sense
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Brian
This literally changed my ball flight 100%. I took lessons last winter and was told to have a strong grip and now my lead wrist. Helped my slice, but all my irons went about 110-120 tops. Just went to practice were I hit to a fence that’s about 100 yards away. Took out by five iron, which I can never hit. I rolled my wrists on the way back and through with a more neutral grip. It was probably thirty yards above that fence! No idea on the distance but it was by far the longest 5 iron I’ve ever it. Total game changer! You may have saved my game! Not exaggerating.
That is such a good result Chad. I am so pleased for you.
I'm glad the video has helped you regain your enjoyment of the game .
Thanks for letting me know.
Brian
This was exactly what I needed to hear.
I’m glad you found it.
Let me know how it goes.
Brian
Facing the same problem. Thank you for this video. Now I know why.
My pleasure. I am glad my video was of help to you.
Keep me posted on your progress.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Wow !!!! That's your best yet Brian.
Often wondered but never really new why.
You're the only Doctor worth visiting.
Stay well
David 🏌️🇬🇧🇦🇺⛳🦘👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you David that means a lot.
I appreciate it.
Brian
I have watched hundreds of golf game improvement videos. I am so glad I happened across this one this morning. Truly I thought that I was the only person who had this problem and no later than yesterday, at our range, I was having this problem and I’ve had it a long time. Hoping to try the release work very soon perhaps today. This is the only vid I’ve seen that addresses this problem. Thank you for posting, subscribed.
Thank you for letting me know Bob. I am really glad you found it helpful. I will take your word for the fact no one else has made a similar video. I haven't watched other RUclips Golf coaches for years because I did not want to copy them unknowingly.
I like to make videos on the things I see often as a full time golf coach and that is where the idea came from with this video. I see it a lot.
Thank you for subscribing and watching my content.
Brian
Thanks fitzy for your reply. I have been following the Moe Norman system and my right hand is tucked in underneath. Its is quite hit and miss so i went looking for a more adaptable swing pattern and I have thankfully found your web sight and what a revelation it has been to me. I play in the Bay of Plenty and will be practicing your tips etc until I play again on Monday. Thanks heaps.
I am now into my 38th year as a golf professional Jerry. I shudder everyone I hear the word system or method. One size does not fit all in golf.
Thank you for your nice comments.
That grip explains your left shots.
There are some fine wines made in your neck of the woods.
I would love to hear how it goes for you.
Brian
Very detailed explanation
Thank you.
I am glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Brian, well done. Even in S. California, we may not play much cricket, (yet) however as you mentioned, golfers mention this often. Your vid is excellent and assisting some of the players I work with. thank you.
Thank you.
I am glad you have found it helpful.
Keep up the great work.
Brian
Great video,I am a golfer who only hits a 5 iron a bit further than my 7 iron. This explains why,just once in a while, I hit a career best and the ball sails 30 yards further than expected,usually through the green.It also explains the "chicken wing" I have at finish. Thanks a lot for this tip..
I am glad the video was of help to you Michael.
If the club face releases through impact all sorts of good stuff happens.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
This is me exactly! I'm working on relaxing my wrists and letting it release. This video is great @fitzygolfpro
Thank you.
I don’t know much about drumming but I am sure you would need to grip the drumsticks securely but not tight to give you the freedom to move in various ways.
The golf grip is very similar.
You are on the right track.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Thank you gonna try this tomorrow at the range
My pleasure.
You should notice a difference.
Brian
can't wait to try this. I've pretty much given up on golf because of this...
Geez I hate to hear stuff like that.
Let me know how it goes.
Brian
Great explanation 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Brian.
Great tip my man 👍
Glad you liked it Mick!Thanks for watching.
Brian
I have asked this question a 100 times and not received an answer as detailed as yours, I can't wait to go and have a hit and see what difference it makes, thanks Brian
My pleasure Rob. I am glad you found it helpful. I really appreciate your feed back..
If you have any questions feel free to ask away.
Let me know how you go with it.
Brian
Just started golfing in April 2022. This video changed so much for me. Spot on on your advice sir. Truly appreciate it.
Welcome to golf Konner.
I am glad you found this video useful.
Having been a golf professional for 38 years I just make videos on things I see my clients doing or to answer the questions they have.
Have fun learning.
Brian
@@fitzygolfpro thanks, I have this problem at times
@@robertcress2457 I’m glad it helped keep releasing the club through impact.
Ok. I’ll try it. What the hell. What have I got to loose.
I would love to know how it goes Michael.
Please keep me posted.
Brian
Thanks for the lesson, I think I'm a blocker.
My pleasure.
Just work on your release and you will notice a big difference.
Brian
great video! so going to try this! Gapped my clubs the other day and my 4 5 6 all went within 4 metres of each other....
Glad you enjoyed it Mike. What you have described is really common and now you know why and how to change it.
I’d love to know how it goes.
Brian
Sir. You are my savior, direct to the point with clear explanation. I want to try this later 😊
Because my 7i and 5i is almost the same distance with the same loft.
I'm gald you have found this helpful.
Let me know how it goes.
Brian
At least now you know why.
Brian
Thank you
You're welcome.
Brian
Finally someone said it !
I am not sure why this is the case. It is one of the most common issues golf coaches face.
I am glad you enjoyed it.
Brian
Well done fella. A process that I have to say, a lot of teachers failed to point out to students for some reason.
Thank you. Maybe they hadn’t figured it out?
Thanks for watching.
Brian.
Terrific! Thanks very much for this. I know there are various causes but presumably releasing late can cause unmentionable shots as well?
It is what I spend a lot of my time fixing Ian. Especially (but not exclusively)to those aged under 40.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Intetesting video Brian
Thanks Anne
@@fitzygolfpro Love the pro tracer at the end
These are good tips, I always to play it cheeky by choosing 4 vs 5 or 4 vs 9 iron, but the loft of club doesn't seem to change the distance.
Thank you . I am glad you enjoyed the video. I hope it now makes a bit more sense why this is the case.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
Good video Brian, when I practice with short swings I can get the release working quite well, when I try with fuller swings the blocking returns. Should I be aiming to increase the back swing gradually during practice?
Thanks Mike. That is pretty normal. The idea is you would slowly build up both sides over time.
If you want me to take a look ask if I'm around when you are next at the range.
Brian
Another cricket playing Aussie here. Thanks for pointing this out. I've only just recently realised how rigid and tight my wrists were in my swing. I've had to retrain that loose oily wrist feel to give life back to the club! Heaps of free speed!!
Thank you for your feedback. Loose and oily is a great visual or feel for better golf. As you have found out it also creates more power with less effort.
Brian
Great advice Brian. I have the exact same problem and thanks for making the video. The explanation was accurate and I will go to the driving range and practice now. I hit between 125-150 yards with a 3, 5 or 7 irons. I subscribed and would love to learn more from you. Ferd from Canada.
Thanks for watching and commenting Ferd. I appreciate your feed back.
I would love to know how your session went.
There 350 odd videos I have produced sitting in the back catalogue so I am sure there will be some gems in there for you..
Canada is on my list of places to visit.
Regards
Brian
fitzygolfpro so went over the range and realized my setup was all wrong. Swinging and shifting weight like a baseball swing. Sternum was off centred of ball and my club at impact was open. Video taped myself in slow mo to validate my mistakes. My swing for 3,5,7 is pretty much the same approach and dynamic loft is the same regardless of what iron I used.
Will review the videos you got.
Yes, pay a visit in the summer. Lots of outdoors stuff to do and people are friendly.
Thanks for the update Ferd. Just keep working on releasing the club through impact and you will
Be fine. The distances between clubs should increase.
Brian
Hi Brian, after last weeks lesson on the same idea its slowly coming together. Just need to work on the forward motion now. The half swing pitching shots with different clubs have been working great. Thanks
Thanks Anthony.
Great to hear things are progressing for you.You are on the right track. Those half swing pitches formulate the basis of a good golf swing.
Thanks for watching and the update.
Brian
For me it’s just my 6i (30*) & my 5i (27*) that are pretty much exactly the same. 5i just flies lower.
That’s about where it usually starts to bunch up.
Excellent.
Thanks for watching. I am glad you enjoyed it.
Brian
@@fitzygolfpro So is the club face naturally vertical or parallel to the spine on the back swing and end of forward swing ideally?
I'm not sure I understand your question @dry509.
The club face should try to be square to the path (the direction your club travels on) that you swing the club on ideally.
@@fitzygolfpro Yes.. understood. Never mind. Got it.
Hello, does this concept pertain to all the clubs in the bag including driver?
Indeed it does John.
Brian
You just explained why a lot of my shots are going right and I am not coming over the top. However I have noticed a tendency for balls to spin to the left, am I turning my wrists over on release;
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Jerry.
You could be but my first thought would be to make sure your grip is right in both hands. Especially the right hand (assuming you play golf right handed).
I have a video that you can watch that might help.
ruclips.net/video/3rGdTrxFtHc/видео.html
Thanks for watching.
Brian
I've noticed my 5 wood, 5 and 6 iron go about the same. My 7, 8, 9, PW and GW all have different distances. My gap is for 90-100 yards, pitching is 100-110, 9 is 115-125, 8 130-140 and 7 145-1555/160. But 5 wood, 5 and 6 iron all go about 170 unless I hit off a tee.
The good news is you now know why.
Just work on releasing the club and there should be more distances between clubs. It should be around 7meters or 8 yards.
Thanks for watching.
BriN
Hahaha. This was my last lesson with Brian . And im now playing a lovely draw from gap wedge to 7 iron and I've added 10m per club some more.
Still having issues with my 5iron and 6iron .
Due another lesson
Cheers brian!
Thanks Max. That is really good to hear.
It really is quite a common flaw and it is possible to improve it.
You are living proof.
I look forward to catching up with you soon.
Brian
As soon as you explained why I almost slapped myself for being so dumb. It makes so much since now!
I am glad you found it helpful.
It is one of my most commonly asked questions from newer clients.
Brian
Great info Brian. I am 76 years old and my son says I should try the 10 finger grip since I am not as strong as I used to be. hat do you think?
I think there is a lot of merit in this Jesse. It is something I do with people when they lose a bit of strength in their hands or to reduce the amount slice spin on the ball.
I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Brian
@@fitzygolfpro should the club be in the fingers or the palm. is it 10 finger or 8 finger? Thank you so much for your help
That is a really good question Jesse. I can answer that with words here.
Or
If you can wait less than 2 hours from now my next video goes into detail about the grip.
If you don't find it answers your question let me know and I will do via text then.
Brian
Where u get tha tMizuno Bag bro- I want one! ASAP
I got that from Mizuno.
If you ask any golf retail outlet that stocks Mizuno they will be able to get one for you.
Brian
My 5 iron goes further than my driver 😂
I’ve seen that many times before. It is sad.
@@fitzygolfpro in my case i find it very annoying hahah
Ill put this info to good use
A great tip here, I am going too say for the past few months I have so been trying to change my shot from a fade to a draw, I have been getting there from changing my swing path but also I have been taking away my club on the back swing and keeping it closed, what I have noticed since the change at the range like on 20 percent of my shots are a clean contact the other 80 percent feel horrible and vibrate through the club any tips for me please, sub added :)
I don't recommend people change their shot shape as most of this is set in our DNA and our motor patterns are set.
Certainly learn to hit hooks so you can escape from trouble when you need it.
My advice is stick to the fade.
Having given over 35,000 golf lessons I have seen only a handful of people successfully change from hitting a fade to a draw. That is not great odds.
If you choose to continue on your journey in search of your draw......
Look at things like ball position, low point control in your swing and your angle of attack.
The following video might help.
ruclips.net/video/sqBPxO4ou1g/видео.html
@@fitzygolfpro Thank you
OK well this kinda makes logical sense, why are there so many vids out there telling everyone not to under any circumstance open or fan the club in the takeaway ? without doing that this move would be impossible would it not ? club surely has to open some for the rotation to happen.
I am glad you enjoyed the video and it helped you in your understanding of the problem.
You ask a good question about why so many people make videos on not allowing the club face to rotate (on both sides of the swing),
I can;t answer that and to be honest I don't watch any other RUclips coaching videos.
I just stick to my lane and do what I do every day using my 29 years of coaching experience and helping over 30000 golfers over this time.
Thanks for watching.
Brian
@@fitzygolfpro Thanks for your reply, so I'm not wrong in my thinking, the club has to open and close in the swing ?
You are 100% right in my opinion.
Brian
I love you
Thankyou.
"unfortunately in Australia play cricket" hahhaha
It's true. I spend most of my time de cricketing golfers.
would this also explain why i can only hit my driver 200 yards with slice now? completely lost my golf swing after covid and can’t get it back… i’m hoping this will help me
Hi Sean.
This would go a long way to answering that problem.
Your club face is staying square to your target and not the path after impact.
I explain it in the following video. I use an iron in this example but the concept is the same with a driver.
ruclips.net/video/G6WGrCDtUyE/видео.html
Let me know how it goes.
Brian
The flipping he's talking about is simply allowing the club release naturally through impact. Do the old thumbs up to thumbs up exercise and you'll see and feel it.
Or use a swingyde training aid.
Brian
