I think it is important when searching for an instructor that you try and learn what the teacher believes. This will allow you to determine if a relationship is likely. Here are 4 things you will learn from me if you are a long term student:
1) Feel For The Club – Somewhere in the last few decades, golfers have become consumed with what they look like vs what the club feels like. The club and it’s weight are substantial. If you will only listen to what it has to say, it will tell you where it is and what it needs.
2) Proper Impact Science – I think it is critical to understand why the ball flies the way it flies. I have an extensive understanding of the physics behind the collision of the club and the ball. I will explain to you why the ball just did what it did if you are interested in knowing.
3) Speed – I think it is one the most important skills for rapid advancement in the game. I want the clubhead to move fast. I don’t like to see much labor to create the speed but I want to hear that magical sound of a powerful impact.
4) Superior Green Reading – As an AimPoint Golf Certified Instructor, I can show you how to accurately read the green. I will teach you about the complex green shapes and how they effect the roll of the ball and give you an exact place to aim for putts inside of 20 feet.
Obviously, these are not the only things you will learn when you come to Rochester, NY and take golf lessons with John Graham. I work with players at all levels from beginners to highly skilled competitors. I hope you will leave comments and questions below. I will always work my hardest to continually improve my skills to help you reach your goals. Gift certificates are available here. Change “type” to Pro Lessons (John Graham).

John, I totally agree with all 4 guidelines. I would love to achieve all of them. As we’ve discussed – not mechanically but innately, by feel and flow. Day by day, I am getting there. But it has been a much longer process than I ever envisioned.
Jeff,
If you had to do it all over again, how would you have addressed learning the golf swing based on what you know now?
John
I have learned so much from you. In fact, finally got to play and what a difference straight of slight draw on 98%of shots. Irons are going 15 – 20 yds further. Yep score wasn’t great but was redialing my distances. Everyone I know needs to listen to you. Thanks
Rick,
So glad the information here has been able to help.
Please feel free to pass it on.
Let me know if there’s anything I can do for you.
