My name is Brian Fitzgerald – I’m an Australian full time golf coach living in Melbourne and coaching at the Eastwood Golf Club in Kilsyth..

FAQ:
How long have you been a golf coach? I qualified as a full member of the Australian PGA back in 1985. Wow I don’t feel that old.

Why do you make videos for YouTube? That is a great question and one I get asked a lot. I love helping people play better golf and people tell me I have a very unique coaching style that is very simple to understand. We really should do things simpler. I just make them to help people and if people like my videos they can either come for a golf lesson in person or if that is not possible you could join my membership program and I can then view your golf swing or any part of your game and really help improve what you do.

Do you always change some ones golf swing? To be perfectly honest I try not to. If I do try to change some ones golf swing I have to have a pretty good reason for doing so and the client has to be fully engaged and committed to both regular coaching and practice in order to make that change. Most people say they will do both with good intentions but most fall away pretty quickly.

So my preference is to change things that will improve their score easily. There are so many different ways to do this.

What do you film with? – I have a few few different cameras I use. An old GoPro Hero 4, an iPhone 6 and iPhone X, A Sony ZV1 and an old Panasonic Handy cam (I’m using that less and less now). I record my sound on an old iPhone 4.

What do you edit with? – About a year ago I switched to Adobe Premiere – prior to that it was Pinnacle Studio

Do you make money off YouTube? – Yes.It took me over 100 videos to make my first total $100 off adsense and then another 50 videos to make my next $100. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.

I really enjoy your videos, how can I support you? – Here’s my ko-fi where you can buy me a coffee, beer or a burger should you wish (kind of like giving me a tip via : https://ko-fi.com/thegolfdoctor

Thanks for watching!

So one of the most frustrating things I see as a full-time golf coach is misinformation and myths and one of the biggest myths of all is that we have to keep our head still I overheard two people talking while I was coaching this morning and they were adamant you had to

Keep your head still I was busy coaching I couldn’t help but hear what they were saying but I didn’t intervene I was busy with my client but if you think about it for a minute that’s not a good thing to do there’s this myth you’ve got to keep

Your head still to play well so if I had a ball and I was going to throw the ball as far as I could but I started with the pretext I have to keep my head still how can I generate power if my head’s stationary there’s a limit to

What I can do in terms of weight transference or pressure from right foot to left foot if I really wanted to throw this ball as far as I could I would be getting back here on my right foot and I would be transferring through to the

Left foot I would be almost stomping my left foot and building pressure on that left foot as I release the ball no one says that you have to keep your head still when you throw a ball if you’re serving in tennis do you want your head to be still I think it moves

Doesn’t matter what the sport is yet for some reason everyone thinks that when you swing a golf club you’ve got to keep your head still if you want to hit it short and if you want to lose control keep your head still still if you want

To hit it a bit further and you want to hit it with better control and you don’t want to have a saw back let your head move so I’m not saying you should be swaying a lot but we need to move pressure to our right side and then

Across again to our left side so in doing that we have to move our head a little bit it’s okay if it moves a bit going back and it’s quite okay if it moves going forward forward so this the test I want you to do is when you go out

Onto the range next time you have it hit three shots with your driver trying not to move your head trying not to transfer weight just keep your head really still hit three shots see where they go on the next three shots feel like you’re going to have a little movement get in behind

The ball on your right side and then let it go on side as long as balance and you’re creating that forward pressure on that left heel I know you’re going to hit it a little bit further and you’re probably going to hit it straighter so move away from this garbage about

Keeping your head still let your head move a little bit get a bit of Freedom let’s create a bit of speed use a bit of energy it’s going to help you to play better golf if you want to play better golf I’m going to put a link to another

Video just up there I know is going to help improve your golf
