It may seem simple but without a doubt what I see the most often day in day out coaching is people not giving themselves licence to actually move in their golf swing.
We can be so restricted in our own conceptualisation of the swing and with the (what seems) infinite resource of information that our body no longer operates freely when we have a golf club in our hands.
Here are as always a couple of ideas and exercises to help out with the above mentioned to hopefully get us all moving and get us back to being happy golfers!

It amazing! I have been playing on and off for 20 years. This last year watching this channel, I have had more more improvement than the last 19 years. Can "aim" in 3 different directions and still hit the almost exact same shot
Great video as always Marcus
Unfortunately, the difference is one of importance, when I'm on the range or hitting into a net, it doesn't really matter if I hit it cleanly or not, I've got another dozen or so balls to hit; however, on the course, I have one chance to get it right, that puts a lot of tension into your swing. Two years ago, I bought a net for the garden, I got my wife to video me, perfect, every ball went smack into the net and would have gone miles down the fairway but, actually on the fairway is a different matter, it is really difficult to just let yourself go and swing but when I do, the outcome is impressive, unfortunately, I can't maintain it.
What an amazing golf video. It gets rid of all that confusion and noise. Well done yet again Marcus
Au contraire, throwing or kicking a ball I agree. Cricket, baseball, tennis they establish positions, this could be argued but generally games with a hitting instrument be it club, racquet, bat some positional setup is established.
This is great stuff! Our problem (or at least mine is) we become ball bound, become too focused on the ball itself. The real key is not to focus on the ball with hitting it in mind, when we swing freely and the ball just happens to be in the way of the swing and good things will happen. The problem seems we mentally feel this type of action feels out of control and on the course we are not willing to risk it, so we revert to control of the swing and want to place the club head in a precise place through manipulation of our hands and body. Marcus is spot on , we need to learn through practice to let go of the manipulation and just let the natural swing and forces of gravity do the job for us, sadly modern golf instruction tells us to place body parts here, there and everywhere and it messes up the natural flow. If I lived in England instead of Canada I'd go for a lesson with him in a heartbeat. However these great videos give us a blueprint to follow, so at least we know what to try and do. Many Thanks. Mike.
Could be your best individual video yet Marcus 👍⛳ For those viewing and trying to take something away from this video; the only way to fully 100% get this to suit you, is to go get the lesson in person! Highly, highly recommended! ✅
