World #1 Coaches Told me this to Build a Repeatable Golf Swing & Shoot in the 70s in 2 years

Jerome Rufin hosts a live instructional Q&A session breaking down core insights gained from top PGA coaches during his Scratch to Scratch journey. He demonstrates setup and grip fundamentals, explains how to simplify the backswing to achieve repeatable downswing sequencing, and gives actionable chipping and mat practice advice.

• Simplify your takeaway by keeping your hands inside and the clubhead outside to reduce downswing compensations.
• Adopt a strong-to-neutral grip showing 2 to 2.5 lead-hand knuckles with V-lines pointing toward your trail shoulder.
• Place a towel just behind the ball on range mats to receive immediate feedback on chunked or heavy shots.
• Maintain forward shaft lean during chipping and open the clubface for height rather than scooping with the wrists.
• Focus on achieving a consistent one-way miss before attempting to optimize dispersion or swing speed.
