Forum: Instruction

This is the place to ask questions on the mechanics of the swing etc.

  1. Swing Speed

  3. Thumbs up Marc Levac

    I had my first lesson with Marc Levac (Pingman) last night at La Mer Bleue Driving Range in the East end. I wasn't sure if his teaching style would be a good fit for me but I thought I'd take a chance. In the last month I had been seeing my drives go right - left - right - left. I couldn't...

  5. Help Selecting a Driver

    I have pretty well given up on the driver. I have a tried a few different kinds, mostly non-name brand. I seem to have no control or consistency and the length sucks.

  6. More "PLANE" Truth
