Philosophy of Teaching Method


The Croker Golf System's core concept is that the full golf swing is built
on the mastery of 3 essential components - putting, chipping and pitching.

The swing is lengthened through a clearly defined Graduated Process.

After mastering a precise short putting motion you proceed to a medium
length chipping motion, then a longer pitching motion until the certainty of
the correct full swinging motion is built. The detail of these motions and a
series of fundamental alignments is the essence of success and may be
surprisingly different to what you are currently trying to do.

a) Putting builds the foundation of the correct use of the hands in the
swing.

b) Chipping builds the #1 Alignment of the club shaft to the left arm
through impact and follow-through in the swing, and also the body pivot and
it's connection to the hands in the swing.

c) Pitching builds the backswing and "start down" on the correct path to the
ball plus correct follow through. Also the coordination of the "body pivot"
to hand and arm action throughout the swing leading to the full swing
development.

d) The Full Swing finally evolves from the building blocks learned in
putting, chipping and pitching.

The natural tendency for anyone wanting to play golf is to start learning
the full swing straight away. Unfortunately these natural tendencies usually
cause incorrect motions that are often hard to overcome. When the desired
results are not forthcoming, frustration sets in and so begins an endless
search for fixes, tips and remedies without any real improvement. An
incorrect pattern has already been established that is hard to break.

Like learning a musical instrument, foreign language or any challenging
task, the golf swing is more easily learnt as a graduated process. While
some gifted individuals can pick up almost any musical instrument and play
it, so too can a lucky few 'fall out of bed' and hit a golf ball well. But
they are few and far between. For most of us learning the golf swing
properly requires precise practice and only comes from identifying the REAL
CAUSE of correct actions and alignments, and probably is nothing like what
is being attempted by most people.

The Path to Mastery of the full swing can often be frustrating but it is
nevertheless an extremely rewarding journey. Always remember though that it
is a journey and not a place of instant arrival. When the journey does near
its end with a confident solid full swing, the golfer who has mastered the
disciplines along the way will not only have the full swing, but a complete
golf game to go with it.

You'll get there much sooner using the Croker Golf System.
