They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I guess we could say seeing a video of a golf swing, and best of all YOUR golf swing, is maybe worth a MILLION Words. Well that is what is easily achievable now with the appearance of two new small, hand held cameras that are the size of an average smart phone. Cell phones can take videos, but these new HD (High Definition) cameras are the cats meow for ease of taking the video and then watching it.
The first camera I found out about and immediately bought is “The Flip” Ultra HD Digital camera. Digital is great because there is no film involved and you can record up to 2 hours of video on it. It is called the flip because it has an arm that flips up out of the side. The arm is actually a USB connection that fits into the USB port on your computer. This port is also used to charge it.
The Flip video also has a small but unbelievably crystal clear HD screen to be able to watch your video whereever you shot it. So, it’s great to take to the range or course and film your swings, chips, pitches, bunker shots and putts. And within seconds you can be watching your swing in High Definition on the camera screen. The camera alone can only run in real time. You have to plug it into your computer for more complete viewing. But right there on the course you can check out your swing all with a HD camera that fits in your shirt pocket.
The software program, called “FlipShare,” to run the video on your computer are in the camera. So just plug it into your computer or laptop or TV and you are watching your swing in a minute.
I bought the flip because it is small and light. My main reason was to save my shoulder from carrying my video camera and bag around for hours when out on Tour with DJ in practice rounds. I carry that bag some days for 6 or more hours to the range and then for 9 holes on the course. With the Flip, I can carry it in a little pouch I can slide on my belt, just like I carry my cell phone. It is small, light and the picture is clear and vivid. Best of all, I can see video on the spot. For better viewing and to use all the program options, I hook it to my computer/lap top or TV. The software on my computer allows slow motion, sliding the video back and forth. You can save the videos to your computer, make custom movies, add music, make snapshots from the video and also email the videos.
I just got the camera and have not done any of these options yet except shoot some swings on the course and watch them right there on the spot. The camera has a screw port on the bottom to attach it to a full size tripod. I bought a small tripod that can extend out to 5 inches that I can carry in my pocket or golf bag so I can setup the camera and shoot myself if I am alone on the course or range. I can also set it in front of the player on the target side to see an on line swing and the ball flying right over the camera.
I bought my Flip HD camera at Best Buy for $199.00. I have seen them now for as low as 179.00, and that is with an extra battery pack and the cable to hook up to a TV (which I paid extra for). Now it’s included in the price.
Yesterday, I was in Office Max getting some printer ink and guess what I saw there. Another HD camera by Kodak called the EasyShare Zi6 pocket video HD camera. It was priced at $159.00 with, I believe, all the attachments.
So, if you would like an easy way to film your swings out on the range and the course, or family functions or whatever, these new HD Digital cameras are the way to go. If you want to check them out, and see what they can do, I have included below a link for the Flip and the Kodak.

For the Kodax, I found it at: http://techhook.com/2008/07/10/kodak-zi6-hd-pocket-digital-video-camera-announced/
I think you will be impressed with this new video technology, especially if you have been looking for an easy way to film your golf swing.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us a PeakPerformanceGolfSwing.com. We truly appreciate getting to know so many of you. Enjoy the holiday. My next article will come to you on Friday.

Some digital cameras also have video capability. My Sony does. Been using it for this purpose all summer. So check your cameras–you might not need to buy a separate video camera.
Happy Thanksgiving to the entire Trahan family
Don:
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your staff. It is truly amazing the amount of time and effort you put into your site. Please keep up the good work. I didn’t want to be picky, and it really doesn’t matter, but the correct new name for the ” PGA Learning Center” is now: The “PGA Center for Learning and Performance”.
Hope you return soon! God Bless.
Just wanted to say thanks for the info on the camera and for all of your “giving back” to the game. There is no doubting your belief in the golf swing and your willingness to help golfers of all levels. I was mentored by Harvie Ward for nearly 20 years and he stressed simplicity and focused on clubhead path thru impact. What are your thoughts on feel thru impact and how aware of the path are you with your hands? It seems today that the focus on turn thru the ball is eliminating some of the clubhead awareness.
how can I get rid of my baseball swing. I don’t take much of a backswing and especially with my driver my hand re always ahead of my club face and then I slice
I’m 67 years old. I love the game of golf but can’t seem to enjoy it very much due to inconsistent ball stricking (thin, heavy, right, left, etc.); a real problem. I also suffer from lower back pain after every round. My handicap is 14 on a 6000 yard course. I want to improve but am hesitant to invest in the Peak Performance Golf Swing videos for fear they won’t help. Frankly, I’m just tired of trying different things to improve my game and reduce the back pain.So, my question is what makes the PPGS any different or better than other approaches?
I would have thought the new casio cameras would suit you better. A little less cheap but certainly not expensive. They have a burst mode of a thousand frames a second. That would be the cats meow don’t you think?
Happy Thanks giving Surge,DJ, Ken, Justin and the whole staff of helpers and family!
By the way, I’ve already “hinted” to my wife what I want for Christmas. I already have my two front teeth and she really can’t help my swing and golf scores, however I’ve been holding out to find the “Golf Buddy GPS” on sale somewhere and I found it available at dwquailgolf.com for like 295.00 including shipping. They have tons of other golf toys if you’re interested.
Keep it down the middle!
I bought the Kodak one to take to the course to get video of my son’s swing. We look at it but I send it to his pro so he has a realistic view of his course swing.
Happy Christmas and a Good New Year when it comes.You have been a great help and it is much appreciated. I do feel however that the currency could be tainted by all this pre-Christmas commercial activity,but maybe this is just me.

Hi Don, I have enjoyed all your emails. I also think the ppgs is something that will work for me. I turn 72 a month ago. My handicap is two. However, I am not consistent in ball striking at all. I have tried to change my swing to a Hardyesque one plane motion. All I do is hit pull hooks. The last two rounds I have played I have tried to do the ppgs set up and swing. I like it. I am going to Florida in another month and plan to work on it down there.
Now, I know you don’t remember me, but we met about 20 years ago. You were at Sea Pines in Hilton Head. You and Rick Berry, looked at my action, and in fact we played a round together. I was in the process of trying to qualify for the Senior Tour. I remember your parting words. “Fred, you should feel like you are hitting three quarter knock down shots.” Well, I didn’t take your advise, and I didn’t quality for the tour.
I ordered the dvds and manual. The 19.95 deal. I haven’t received anything yet. I hope you are doing well. I have enjoyed following your son D.J. Undoubtedly you had a lot to do with his development. Congrdulations, he is a great player.
Hang in there/
.
Don,
Glad to see your upgrading your technology, but there is an even better small Kodak HD camcorder on the market, the Zi8. It shoots at 720p HD at 60 fps, or at 1080p HD at 30 fps. It even has an HDMI out for full HD input to your big screen TV.
On 11/25, the Zi8 was on sale at TigerDirect.com for $149.00.
Love your new “Don Show”!!!
To John:
What makes the PPGS different from other swings is its limited turn and upright nature. The goal on the backswing is to turn the hips very little and the shoulders only about 70 degrees instead of 90 degrees. Also, you only take the club back 3/4 of the way instead of to the parallel. This is obviously going to be much easier on the lower back, as the pain comes from trying to turn further than is comfortable.
In addition to turning less, the swing is very upright, such that at the top of the backswing, the club shaft should point to 12:00 o’clock when viewed from down-the-line. (The typical rotational backswing has the shaft pointing to about 10:00 o’clock.)
At this point you are probably wondering how you can achieve any distance, as there is so much less body motion and so much more arms motion. But as you’ll see when you try it, your arms can move so much faster and generate as much, if not more club head speed than with the rotational swing. The upright swing makes the club very light and enables the club head to come down faster and online.
I compare it to bowling. Think of how difficult bowling would be if you swung your arm back around your body (instead of straight back), then, on the downswing, had to swing it back around and release it at just the right point, otherwise the ball would go into the gutter. Think of how heavy the ball would feel also. How much easier it is to send it straight down the alley when you take the ball straight back and straight down. It’s the same with the PPGS.
I would spend the money and give it a try. It has worked very well for many of us.
Oh dear. What a disaster! I bought the DVDs, watched everyone of them, read
the manual cover to cover, and had an hour’s worth of practice in the garden
(back yard). I then went out the next day and played a practice round of 18
holes – just to try everything you said. Shot 10 over my normal round of 80-86
(64 year old, 10 handicapper).
So today I go out and play another round – this time in a society comp. Same
again – worst score for 2 years. Slicing everything right or at best weak fades
with everything from 6 iron down though to 3 wood – I don’t have a driver!
I can imagine it is one or more of several things – starting to hit out-to-in
(normally I don’t hit too far but it is fairly consistently in-to-out straight
or a slight draw) plus probably not being able to get my weight through the
ball, and or just not being able to hit it as hard as you seem to be asking to
compensate for such a limited turn.
As it happens, I normally don’t have a very pronounced shoulder turn on the back
swing anyway, but certainly it is more than you allow. My club is clearly just
in the sacred burial ground. It could be that with the limited turn and/or more
upright position, the downswing is now very rushed rather than smooth. This
encourages pushed shots and/or weak cuts that have a pronounced slice (just
about the first ever in my life!!)
Well – enough said. I’ll give it one more go on Friday but if it does not
improve, I’ll be after you for my money back. Sorry about that but my handicap
has come down steadily for the last 2 years from around 18 to 10 and I was
looking to your system to help me to break into single figures. Doesn’t look if
that is at all likely….
Richard
Hey Surge: Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Glad to see you are going high tech. I have been using a Canon ZR850 for about two years. It has tape and digital. I use a MAC so i use iMovie to do all of my stuff. My students usually take what we have used over the years for practice and send it to prospective college coaches. It has been a great tool. http://www.aboutjuniorgolf.com
I have the little Kodak, and must say it’s a great little camera to have with you at all times. Even though there is some shaft distortion, due to something called a rolling shutter. Makes it look like the shaft is made out of rubber. First I thought, wow, I need stiffer shafts, until I read an explanation of this effect.
Even though it’s a little bigger and a little more expensive, you gotta check out the Casio FH20, it does HD at normal speeds, and normal video up to 1000 fps. Great for swing analysis, and without the distortion of the smaller pocket video cameras.
Surge
Have a good Thanksgiving and thank you for all the help in developing the PPGS. I bought the swing manual and found it to be very good in answering questions I have been afraid to ask. i had back surgery in 2002 and have been timid in swinging a club. It is still going to take time but I have already seen a big improvement in my game. Slices are becoming rare. Thanks again.
hi surge
Is there anyone in England that,s you can recommend that i go and see,
so they can see where i,m going wrong
i trully believe in the PPGS its just that i need to speak and meet some one in my country i can relate and understand the wrongs and rights.
i believe and trust in your golf methods,
regards dannyconnolly
It took couple of weeks to make up my mind about buying your instructional DVD series, and you probably understand why, I tried every instructional series, lessons, teaching aids…etc…etc, and was thinking to myself what does this guy who talks fast can offer more, but I tried one of your free video lessons, it was good, so I purchased the series last night, watched it almost half asleep, even though its hard t fall asleep while you give instructions and was thinking to myself, Don does make a lot of sense in his logical consequense of thoughts, so I wake up this morning dropped my younger daughter to her nursery, took the older one with me to the course and got 2 buckets of balls and got my grip alignment the the instructions said, and swang a five iron…. and it was like wow …. this is pure……. the range went very well, so I am like ok this is nice, but lot of times I have good session on the range only to get burried on the course, not today, not after your lessons, played nine holes on a course I never stepped a foot on before and hit 6 fairways out of seven , played with one ball from start to finish I can finally say , my only regret about your system is I should’ve took your offer when you gave half off price instead of letting it expire and buy it afterward…… from a medical doctor to the swing surgeon… thank you so so much…Today is the first time I had fun on the course in a lon long long time…..
Hi Don:
Thank you for the information on the digital camera’s. Further, thank you for your instruction. It has improved my golf game. Here’s wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving.

To Bruce Balmer,
Thanks for the info on the Casio, I will check it out and may just have to get me one.

To Jim Wile,
Thanks for answering John’s question on why he should try the PPGS. You aced it! Heck you Double Eagled the answer. Great Job. I really loved you bowling analogy.
Thanks Again for helping out.
The Surge!
To everyone…..
who informed us all about other small HD cameras….Thanks Much,
I wrote all the names down and will check them out. I am sure I could use another camera!

To Richard,
Hi Richard. Don’t give up on the PPGS so quickly. One hour’s practice and a round of golf is hardly a fair test of the system. You may have taken too literally the claim that you could learn the new swing after hitting ‘2 buckets off balls’.
Some players may well have grasped the PPGS after hitting 2 buckets of balls, but I was not so fortunate. I have hit well over 2000 practice balls and have played about 40 rounds of competition golf, over 4 months, using the PPGS. My handicap has blown out by 4 strokes. Sounds bad, doesn’t it? However, it isn’t all bad news. I’m now feeling more comfortable with the swing and more confident about the outcome of each shot. I have now reached the stage where I don’t think about the swing during a round of golf – I just concentrate on the shot and it works most of the time. My last 6 stroke rounds have been on, or close to handicap and I expect that my handicap will now go down again. My playing partners usually comment on my ‘easy swing’ and the results which it usually produces.
BTW. Using the PPGS, I couldn’t hit a decent Tee shot with my driver, so I now leave it in the bag and just tee off with my 15 degree 3 Metal. My drives are usually as long as those of my playing partners, who all use those big boofheaded drivers.
We live in an ‘Instant’ world, but there’s nothing ‘Instant about learning a new golf swing, so, give the PPGS a fair trial. You won’t get any younger and the less stressful swing is a investment in your golfing future.
Cheers.
Hi Surge, now that you’ve brought up the subject, when can we start sending you HD videos of our swings for your analysis?
Michael – thanks for the advice. Actually it was couple of rounds of golf but I know what you are saying. My worry was that my game went to pieces so spectacularly. I wouldn’t mind “no visible improvement” or even “odd bad shots”. But the fact that I couldn’t hit ONE decent shot from more than 150 yards out was a serious concern.
Sorry but I am just not going to spend 6 months and 30-40 rounds of golf in the hope that my game might improve. I am retired and play three times a week – my main interest.
The thought of misery for months and months isn’t what I am after. The advert promises to improve your game after a bucket of balls or your money back. I don’t take that literally but I think I am entitled to expect some reasonably rapid improvement – don’t you think?
Hi Richard,
Thanks for your comments, which have a familiar ring to them. I, too,suffered a serious disintegration of my game – fat shots, skinny shots, weak slices, pushes, pulls, skyrockets, etc, etc. (I think that I may have also developed a bad case of halitosis from cussing the PPGS)
However, in the midst of all that darkness, I did hit enough good shots to convince me to continue with the PPGS. In my opinion, Richard, the real problem is not so much the learning of a new swing method but the de-programing of the old swing – which, in my case, has been hard-wired over 40 years. It is easy to subconsciously slip back – in a small or a large way – to our old swing, resulting in an ineffective hybrid swing.
I can understand that you don’t wish to spend the next several months in the golfing wilderness. Maybe, I put up with the bad stuff for a long time because I didn’t want it to beat me. I think that I have now passed through the rough stuff and am starting to enjoy more consistent golf.
I’m with you on the ‘2 buckets of balls’ thing. Don would do well to scrap that dubious claim.
Whatever course of action you may take, I wish you well, Richard. Enjoy your retirement.
Cheers.
To Richard.
I am in total agreement with Michael that Don should scrap the two bucket claim — it is marketing fluff and anyone who has played this game for any length of time should know it.
I don’t mean to scold you, Richard, (well, I do a bit
), but golf is hard and it takes work. There ain’t no magic bullets and the PPGS isn’t one either. I have been working at this game for 40 years, so I my back gets up a bit when I hear people say, “I tried this swing, system, ointment, bracelet, incantation, gizmo, etc, etc, for a whole week and it didn’t improve my game at all.” From my experience, even slight adjustments in a golf swing can be difficult to incorporate and can have a devastating effect on your game for awhile (I used to say after every lesson, “well, get ready of two weeks of crappy golf.” That’s the price you pay for improvement. It’s also what makes this game so much fun — it is an unending challenge. The PPGS is a complete swing overhaul (at least it was for me because I was a pure rotational swinger); how long can you expect that type of change take?
I do, however, understand what you are feeling. I really struggled with my shift to the PPGS and cursed Don and his “idiotic system” more than a few times. The first game I played with it was in the high 90s (I’m a mid-80s golfer). The second wasn’t much better. Even after an entire season of using this swing I still fade the ball a bit more often than I would like; my learning and my transition continues. BUT, I can thank the PPGS for the best year of golf in my life. I’m hitting more fairways and greens than I ever have and my average score dropped by about 4-5 strokes (and I’m am continuing to improve…my last game of the year was one of the purest games of golf I’ve ever played, which means that this is going to be an extra long winter of anticipation). But best of all, I didn’t take a single ibuprofen this year when I used to take two on my way to the course every game.
The only negative thing I can say about what the PPGS has done to my game is that I now play with crappy balls. I used to have the pleasure of playing a brand new ball every few holes, but I now RARELY lose one and I’m too cheap to throw them out!
Hang in there, Richard (or, alternatively, play with the swing you have, accept the game you play, and take enjoyment from it wherever you can — there’s nothing wrong with that approach to the game either).
Don, please have your marketing team advise me the delivery schedule of my DVD set order of November 4th. I emailed them 10 days ago with the same question but have had no reply.
Cheers,
Peter ( Sydney, “Down Under” )
To Kelly.
Hi Kelly,
You have done my golfing morale no end of good by posting your experience/progress with the PPGS – which pretty much reflects my own experience with the system. (even down to the accumulation of scungy looking ‘un-loseable’ golf balls)
I’ve read numerous posts on this forum regarding ‘instant’ success; ‘immediate’ improvement, etc, However, despite having enjoyed considerable golfing success over the years, I was beginning to think that my slow progress with the PPGS revealed a serious personal flaw. Then, with impeccable timing, you post your reassuring and very welcome news that I’m not alone in my struggles with the system.
Kelly, I’m convinced that changing one’s golf swing is akin to trying to change one’s handwriting.
We can practice writing in perfect copperplate or corrective cursive, but, when we have to quickly write down, say, a telephone message, the old scribble comes to the fore! Something similar happens on the golf course during a game, when we are faced with a pressure shot and , suddenly, the old, ingrained swing emerges. (Golf Pros often say that they go with their ‘natural’ swing or shot shape when faced with a pressure situation)
We can all learn a lesson from the golf pro’s approach to minor or major swing changes. From memory, Nick Faldo (now ‘SIR’ Nick) took many months to effect changes to his swing, under the guidance of David Leadbetter. Even the great Tiger devotes a lot of time to implementing even small changes to his swing/shot making. These professionals are all higly skilled technicians. If they recognise the importance of allowing plenty of time to effect changes, why then do we amateurs expect to change the habits of a lifetime simply by hitting 2 buckets of balls?
Re: your occasional ‘fade’. One of my many problems with the PPGS was the instantaneous disappearance of my beloved ‘draw’ shot shape. After much practice, I now hit fewer fades and my draw sometimes makes a welcome appearance during competition rounds. For me, the remedy is to apply more bottom hand through impact and to ensure that the clubhead goes toe-up into the forward catcher’s mitt.
Commiserations over your enforced lay-off from the golf course over the winter months. In the land of OZ, we get to play all year round, despite sunburn, flies and frost bite.
Thanks again, Kelly, for your eloquent, insightful and timely comments.
Cheers.
Don, thanks for your help in developing my golf game. I decided about 18 months ago to aim for a single digit handicap and with your assistance I am getting close. Your technique has been of significant benefit with the scoring clubs and strangely my 3 wood, the longer irons and driver have been more problematic (main trouble being having the faith to use limited backswing when facing a long carry over water/rubbish to fairway or long carry over greenside bunkers) where I take the club back too far. Your recent post on shortening driver length intrigued me so last 2 rounds I have choked down an inch or so and yesterday hit 11 of 14 fairways, 2 more were less than a yard off and with no loss of distance. With your assistance and a couple of exercise sessions a week I am down from 15 to 11 handicap over 18 months, last 2 games 79 and 81 gross, I am happy with my game and still see room for improvement. Thanks again for your most valuable program and tips, all the best from a happy customer for the festive season to you and your family.
Thanks for the feedback, Michael. I’m glad my comments were helpful. I had a bit of a chuckle about your comment about reverting back to one’s older, more ingrained swing. Chris makes a similar comment when he talks about taking the club back a bit too far when having to attempt a longer carry. The reason this makes me smile is that I keep lamenting to my wife that every time I have to make a pressure shot or carry a ball a bit further, I revert to my old swing, laying the club off. I inevitably pay a price for it. I wonder how long I have to play good golf with the PPGS before I learn to trust it and let it be my “go to” swing. I hope things continue to work out for your with the PPGS. We, here in Canada, are terribly jealous of your year round golf (even though where I live–on Vancouver Island–people do play much of the year, but I don’t share their dedication to play in the cold, rain, and muck).
Hi Don.
..hope you had a good holiday….I am finding that every day I play I am giving thanks to you and the PPGS……….hitting shots that I never hit before and saying “Thanks, Don” after wards………..the guys I play with know exactly what I mean, too…..
Hi Kelly,
What a surprise to learn that you live on the fabulous Vancouver Island. We spent a couple of nights at the Victoria Marriott Inner Harbor Hotel in early June, 2008. We had a good look around the Island and its great attractions. Loved it! We were on a 21 day trip. Arrived in Victoria from Seattle by ferry. Spent 2 days on Vancouver Island then 2 days in Vancouver. Moved on to Whistler then boarded the stunning Rocky Mountaineer train, travelling in the Gold Leaf Class. Exited the train at Jasper, where we spent 2 nights, then overnight stays at Lake Louise, Banff and Calgary. We had a lakeview room at Lake Louise and the view was so enchanting that we didn’t want to go to sleep! We flew from Calgary to Seattle and boarded the Holland America ship for a 7day Alaskan Explorer cruise. The ship docked at Victoria for a few hours, on the return journey, so we had a pleasant reunion with the city. We were lucky to witness a re-inactment of a famous battle between several sailing ships. Thousands of people lined the foreshores, enjoying the ‘war’.
We were bug-eyed for the entire trip. Everything we saw was simply stunningly beautiful. Despite the adverse golfing conditions during the winter months, you are fortunate to live in such a spectacular part of the world. We are certainly envious of Canada’s abundant supply of beautiful, clear, fresh water – which is a priceless asset.
Cheers.
Thanks Surge,
I have been enjoying the E-mails. Having a daily mental exercise keeps me thinking and mentally rehearsing my swing even when I don’t get to the range. My Greens in regulation are increasing each week and couple that with my naturally fantastic putting and my scores are great. I hope you Have a wonderful Holiday season, may God bless you and your family.

To those guys who worry about their game going to pieces for a while after adopting the PPGS, well as the saying goes you can’t make an omelette without breaking any eggs. I suggest going back and looking up the blog article on this site called “Words from Warren” and perusing.
The marketing splurge that you can learn the PPGS after hitting two bucket of balls was true in a sense for me because with my old swing I found it difficult to get through one bucket without my lower back giving me grief. The first time I went to the range to try out the PPGS after the first bucket there was no pain in my back and it was like in the PPGS introductory videos where Don was talking about the absence of his hip pain and that he was “feeling pretty good”. I think I ended up hitting about four buckets that day to try and get my mental memory going and try and shake off my old bad habits. The PPGS for my back it was almost like a therapeutic feeling.
I think also a big part of the problem when changing your swing is that your rhythm and timing are put out by thinking too much about the mechanics of the motion i.e. “into the catcher’s mitt”, “up the tree”, “skip the rock on the lake” etc. I’m not saying this is a bad thing because you need to develop mental memory of your swing. What I’m saying is that it is also critical that you retain a feel for the swing, ala the Ernest Jones swing the clubhead with the hands method, and that you can get caught up too much in the mechanical detail and start to introduce “leverage” into your swing which is a killer.
So my message is to persevere with the PPGS, my lower back will forbid me returning to my old swing anyway, and try to work on developing a pure fluid swinging motion of the club head with the hands.
Another bonus of the PPGS, which I relate to from an earlier blogger, is that I am losing far less golf balls now. To my fellow Sydney sider I recently played at Monash Country Club which has thick scrub lining a lot of the fairways (I’m used to playing on open Council Course type layouts). I was forever looking for my fellow playing partners balls (which I didn’t mind because being an up market private course all I could find was near new Pro V 1’s and Tour i’s) but we never had to look for my ball once.
Regards, Craig S
Hi Surge, as asked before..is there any one in England who teaches the PPGS method..please email me if you can.
Have used your method since September, and my tee strikes are safe fairly straight and long…most of my iron shots are great..but, just need that Surge effect..
Thank you Surge
Brian..Devon..England
hi don i hope your p.p.g.s does NOT get to wide spread in my own golf club i have just won my 3rd sweep in a row using your swing something i have never done in over 30 years THANKS FOR ALL YOUR TIPS ( i might give your name to my close friends )
