I'm an old guy who has had great pleasure getting into the Furze mould over the past seven years. How can he possibly retain his sense of humour I'm darned if I know. Seven years I hear you say, well in that time that anchor around the neck has reduced from 24 to currently 15 which prompts the question, is this guy any good at his craft?

Set–up with a slightly wider stance than normal stance as this will lower your centre of gravity to enable the clubhead to pass into the sand under the ball. Position the ball towards your left heel with your weight on your left side and make sure that it remains there throughout the entire swing. Your clubface should be slightly opened but...Alex M.

The clubhead and Belt (hands) travel at exactly the same speed; however there are two (2) different surface speeds between the pulley and the clubhead. The Belt (hands) speed never changes but the clubhead speed increases as it goes around the pulley. The hands act as the belt they must not speed up, slow down, or become jerky. The hands do not change speed during the release.

Fold the Left Hand around the grip making sure that the heel pad opf your Left Hand is on top of the club and place your Left Thumb on the "Aft" side of the grip.

Never take it for granted. With over 30 years of teaching experience, it has taught me that one of the most common golfing problems with the beginner to average player is the little finger on their right hand. The right hand little finger has a tendancy to overlap to far first before the other fingers of the right hand are positioned on the club. This leads the right hand to be positioned in such a manner that it invariably forces...BiographyThu, 01 Jan 1970 10:00:00 +1000http://www.golfswing.com.au/page.php?id=43http://www.golfswing.com.au/page.php?id=43 Biography - John Furze (PGA, GSED) After years of dedication to the teaching of golf I gained my “Doctorate” in The Golfing Machine which is highly ranked within both the playing and teaching profession of professional golf.

I started playing golf again last May, 2007, and in one word it was a disgrace, I found myself playing zig zag golf and finding every tree possible. So I seeked out some lessons locally and that was to No Avail. I was recommended to a prominent place in Dingly and after about 10 lessons and hours of practicing, the golf wasn't inmproving.

The problem is that most people do not understand the correct motion that they must make. The correct move is NOT a simple turn of the hips from the top of the swing, as many would believe. In fact, the correct move is a slight lateral shift, or "bump", ( this is the Magic Move) and then a turn. If you look at players like Tiger Woods and Ernie Els, you will see a perfect example of this. They don't just turn their...Address versus ImpactThu, 01 Jan 1970 10:00:00 +1000http://www.golfswing.com.au/page.php?id=48http://www.golfswing.com.au/page.php?id=48 Address verus Impact The following will show a list of differences between the golfer at Address Position and at the moment of impact. The one thing you can be certain about and that is Address and Impact are completely different.

Tip by Alex Sloan (PGA, LM, GSED), the First Authorized Instructor of The Golfing Machine under Mr Homer Kelley. I tell all my students that the right hand is the critical hand and by placing the little finger on first they destroy correct alignments and relationships with the left hand and clubface.

As to how I take it away. some time ago I started working on Float Loading to possibly add a bit of power. I love it. I start all my swings from Impact Fix as I have said before. Working my knees and hips to get the turn started. I make it a point to have inward pressure with both knees at address.

Where ever the Leading Edge of the club is facing at Separation Point (when the ball actually leaves the clubface, not Impact)  is the direction the ball will travel.

If your Left Foot is under your Left...On-Line Golf LessonsThu, 01 Jan 1970 10:00:00 +1000http://www.golfswing.com.au/http://golfswing.com.au/moodle?id=86http://www.golfswing.com.au/http://golfswing.com.au/moodle?id=86Float LoadingThu, 01 Jan 1970 10:00:00 +1000http://www.golfswing.com.au/page.php?id=90http://www.golfswing.com.au/page.php?id=90 Float Loading or Downstroke Cocking This procedure delays the Wrist Cock until the Start-Down. Then the Right Elbow folds on the Downstroke and inturn allows the Left Wrist (for right handed golfers) to Cock. The Left Wrist is normally Cocked on the Backstroke by the Bending (Cocking / Folding) of the Right Arm and then the Left Wrist is Uncocked by the Straightening of the Right Arm. The first sign of an early Release on the Downstroke is if the Right Arm has straightened prematurely.
