Golf Talk Live

Welcome to Golf Talk Live!

This week the Coaches Corner panel takes a break.

Instead, I give you 10 ways to save your golf game this winter.

Later in the show I am joined by Brian Dobbie - PGA Teaching Professional at the Montclair Golf Club in New Jersey.

Here's more about Brian:

Brian has been a PGA member since 1994 and Golf Professional since 1991. Teaching golf is his passion – both the mechanical side and physical side. He has been teaching at Montclair Golf Club the last several years which is home to an outstanding Junior Program that grows each season. All level of players can benefit from a fitness program tailored to their needs.

Teaching Philosophy

Brian believes that the student learns by doing. If the ball is going to the right, he believes the proper question to ask is "what" made the ball go to the right, rather than "why." By replacing why with what, the student's learning process begins. Along with the student, Brian will first consider the clubface at impact and then the path on which the club was swinging. From there, it becomes a process of creating different shots, making the ball go left or right and high or low. By creating different shots the student learns faster. Brian works with all level of players and emphasizes the short game and scoring shots over the full swing.
