Who is your youtube golf coach

For me its Paul Wilson. This man helped me transition from a John Daly swing out my shoes style of player to a easy swinging Ernie Els style.

Before Katrina hit Id just turned 29 and had always played a power style of golf. I could always kill the ball and it never hurt me to play that way. After Katrina it was chaotic and I went a good 4 years without playing a lick. When I did finally start playing again I tried to pick up where I left off with my power style but found it tuff to play like I used to. At first I figured I was just rusty and would get it back but for the first time in my life it started to hurt to play golf the way I did.

The first thing that I noticed were my hands, more specifically my right pinky finger, would start to swell and hurt after just a few holes. Id always used an interlocking grip but had to switch to an overlapping grip. Problem solved but other things started to fail me.

The second problem was that I lost flexibility and I could no longer take it back as far as I used to( past horizontal). This killed my distance and I found myself swinging harder than I ever did to make up for the loss of distance. Enter Paul Wilson.

I found Paul Wilson by searching for easy pain free golf swing and the rabbit hole started. It was a 180 from how I used to approach the golf swing. Within no time I was hitting the ball effortlessly and pure. To this day anytime I get off track I watch me some Paul Wilson and get reminded of how effortless a golf swing should feel.
