I Coached A New Golfer From Beginner to Par in 4 Hours
PGA instructor Martin Chuck introduces the 'One Swing System,' designed to help beginner golfers achieve consistency quickly. By focusing on a universal setup and a simple 'One-Two-Gum' rhythm, Chuck demonstrates how three different golfers can master the fundamentals and even record their first par on a real course.
Focus on the swing as a circle rather than a straight line to allow the club to work naturally.
Use the 'Universal Setup' (feet together, tip, then step) to ensure consistent ball position every time.
Adopt the 'One-Two-Gum-on-my-Shoe' verbal cue to improve rhythm and ensure a full finish on the lead side.
The grip is foundational: ensure the lead hand's heel pad is on top of the grip for better face control.
Etiquette matters: focus on pace of play (10 minutes per hole) rather than perfect performance.
