Masterclass Episode 4 is here! ⛳

One of the most common mistakes amateur golfers make is moving too far laterally during the backswing.

While a small shift in pressure is important, sliding too far makes it incredibly difficult to get back to the golf ball consistently.

In this lesson, PGA Professional Kieran McLaughlin explains the difference between sliding and pivoting, and why a simple adjustment can lead to cleaner ball striking and more consistent golf.

HIGH HANDICAPPER MASTERCLASS #3 ⛳

What does jumping have to do with golf?

More than you might think.

In Episode 3 of the High Handicapper Masterclass, PGA Professional Kieran McGrath explains why athletic posture and balance are critical for creating speed, power and consistency in the golf swing.

If your weight is sitting back in your heels, your body spends the entire swing trying to keep you balanced rather than helping you produce speed and power.

The simple test?

Set up like you're about to jump.

Goalkeepers waiting for a penalty. Wicket keepers waiting for a delivery. Athletes preparing to move.

Golf should be no different.

Small changes in setup can make a huge difference to how efficiently you move and ultimately how well you strike the ball.

How to hit a flop shot🏌️‍♂️

Looking forward to being back at The Heritage Golf & Country Club every Thursday from next week! ( If Thursday doesn’t suit, you can see me at the studio in Lilydale any of the other days) If you’re a member and would like to improve your game, I’d love to help.

Most golfers blame their swing when they hit poor shots.
But what if the problem starts before the club even moves?

HIGH HANDICAPPER MASTERCLASS #2 ⛳

In Episode 2 of the High Handicapper Masterclass, PGA Professional Kieran breaks down one of the most common setup mistakes amateur golfers make — standing too far from the ball and sitting back in their heels.

By simply moving the pressure into the balls of the feet and improving posture at address, Nick immediately produced his best strike of the session.

Sometimes the biggest improvements come from fixing the fundamentals.

MASTERCLASS #1 ⛳

One of the most common mistakes amateur golfers make is swaying too far onto their trail side during the backswing.

While some movement is important, excessive lateral movement makes it much harder to return the club to impact consistently, often leading to topped shots, poor strikes and inconsistent ball striking.

In this first Yarra Valley Golf Studio Masterclass, PGA Professional Kieran breaks down the difference between swaying and pivoting, and explains how elite golfers move differently.
