MARK BLACKBURN - Originally from London, England, Blackburn Golf founder Mark Blackburn arrived in America in 1994 on a college golf scholarship. After two years of playing college golf at The University of Mobile he was recruited to play golf for The University of Southern Mississippi. A multiple Lettermen and Team Captain, Mark received a BS in Exercise Science and Coaching in 1998. Upon completing his senior season Mark began a professional playing career.
After 3 years of playing on the Hooters and mini Tours with inconsistency and injury, it was obvious game improvement was essential to reach the PGA Tour. What prevailed was the microscopic study of the golf swing, golf’s biomechanics and the game itself. Continual research and development of principles and ideas produced dramatic results in student’s performance. Mark’s game improvement saw him as an alternate in the 2002 US Open at Bethpage Park, followed by victories in the Dixie Section PGA and participation in PGA National Championships. Mark’s playing resume and communication skills drew attention to Blackburn Golf.
Golfer’s sought the precision Mark could offer to their golf game. A PGA Member, TPI CGP LIII & GSEM Authorized Instructor of The Golfing Machine, Mark continues to work with golfers of all levels. Whether, a beginner or touring professional, developing a realistic stroke pattern based on an individual’s functional movement is the key to long term improvement. The interest in Blackburn Golf is continually growing with students travelling from across the globe to take instruction. Building better golfers based on what an individual can do biomechanically is the only way to long term improvement. The playing experience and knowledge Mark offers is unique to Blackburn Golf. One golfer at a time, Blackburn Golf will build a game suited to each individual student.
Hi Mark,
everything has an equal and opposite reaction! It used to be called the forward press. Nicklaus did this (as did Gary Player as already mentioned). Jack took his lead from Sam Snead. Of the more recent players it's often the ones noted for great rhythm that have had this in their swing (Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Paul Lawrie). A lot of the more modern swings have more of a 'dead start'. What is interesting is how little movement we are seeing visually versus the amount of pressure you are actually moving. Nice video.
Always cool to see what's actually going on between the golfer and the ground!
Thanks I needed this 👍
Mark, your article in Golf Digest on starting the backswing is excallent. Do a video. Thanks.
Really interesting and well delivered vid Mark, you explain very well, looking forward to watching more 👍🏌️♂️⛳
I had a pretty bad sway until I incorporated this trigger into my swing. I press down with my lead foot and that starts the whole swing. Glad to hear this a pro move.
Very nice!

Mark,
This is Colette again. I forgot to mention his handicap is +4.4 but only has driver club head speed of 108-109 ave. Thanks again
Hi MarK,
Can I send you a video of my son for your analysis. Wants to create move club speed by lengthening backswing. Thanks. Colette
I do a little knee kick with my right leg to get started Ala Gary Player.
Is this Gunters Landing range?
All excellent golfers amateurs and professionals have some type of “trigger” to begin their backswing. Some type of move prevents snatching the club away from the ball and creates a good tempo in the swing.
Very interesting 🤔👍🏼
Love using the ground as feedback for players!
