PGA Tours golfer Mark Wilson has had a brilliant start to the year winning two events out of the first three and amassing PGA money of more than two million dollars. A great tee-to-green golfer, Mark Wilson’s greens in regulation average after four events on the PGA tour was more than 70 percent, or around fourteen greens out of eighteen in regulation.

I’m a real fan of the way Mark Wilson plays, and I really admire the way he can swing the golf club so much so that I have put together an eleven page detailed analysis of his golf swing technique for you and I compare some of the principles of his golf swing technique with those of the great Ben Hogan’s.

I encourage you to read, study and enjoy this article on Mark Wilson’s excellent golf swing technique.

Roger Wethered (3 January 1899–12 March 1983) was an English amateur golfer who was the brother of Joyce Wethered, one of the finest female golfers of the pre-war era.

Born in Surrey, Wethered was the only son of Herbert Newton Wethered and Marion Emmeline Lund. He was frequently ill as a child and this resulted in him being home-tutored. His father had authored numerous books about golf and this proved to be influential on Wethered as he took up golf from an early age.

Wethered was called up in 1918 to serve in the Royal Artillery in World War I. However, he was recalled from France some weeks later as peacetime was declared. Upon his return he enrolled in Christ Church College at Oxford University. He joined the Oxford golf team with Cyril Tolley, a good friend of his, and both were successful young golfers. His game was defined by great power and technique with iron clubs. His driving was less accomplished but his ability to recover more than made up for this shortcoming.

Joyce Wethered, Lady Heathcoat-Amory (17 November 1901 in Surrey, England — 18 November 1997, London) was a golfer widely regarded as the greatest British woman player of all time.

Joyce and her brother Roger, who tied for the British Open title in 1921 but lost the play-off, learned the game as children. She won the British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship four times (1922, 1924, 1925, and 1929) and the English Ladies’ champion for five consecutive years (1920–24).

She married Sir John Heathcoat-Amory in 1924, and became Lady Heathcoat-Amory. Her play and swing were greatly admired by Bobby Jones, the American champion of the same era. Jones, who played several exhibition rounds with her, had a very high regard for her game. She essentially retired from competitive play by 1930.

She played most of her golf at (and was a member of) Worplesdon Golf Club in Surrey. She was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1975.

An exhibition of memorabilia can be seen at Knightshayes Court in Devon, where she lived.

Do you want to swing the golf club to hit longer tee shots? I bet you do. Tour golfers at the top of the PGA money list all have one thing in common; they can hit their tee shots a long way.

When you swing the golf club correctly you can significantly increase your distance from the tee and in this video golf instruction lesson Lawrie Montague will show you why the pro’s that play golf on tour hit the ball as far as they do and how you can do the same things to make your tee shots go further down the fairway every time.

In this video golf instruction lesson you will learn about a little known body alignment that when mastered will dramatically improve how far you can hit your tee shots.

This analysis is of Steve Allen, a fine PGA tour professional from Melbourne Australia and part of the Bann-Lynch coaching stable hits the ball enormous distances (over 300 yards) for someone of average build and weight.

You will discover in this golf video instruction lesson that contrary to popular belief and opinion restricting your hip turn does not increase clubhead speed but it does make your timing erratic and unstable.

Did you know that when you swing the golf club correctly there are just two golf swing technique factors that will determine whether you slice your golf shot or not?

When you swing your golf club you need to control the direction of the path of your hands to the golf ball and you need to control the amount of rotation of the clubface that is produced as a consequence of your hand path.

In this video golf instruction lesson Lawrie Montague will show you how pros that play golf on tour perform this master move that guarantees straighter, longer and more consistent golf shots.

Ernest Jones (1887–1965) is renowned for his accomplishments in teaching many famous professional golfers as well as amateurs. He tutored Virginia Van Wie for many years, including during her stretch of three consecutive U.S. Women’s Amateur Championships from 1932–34. He also worked with Glenna Collett Vare, Lawson Little, Betty Hicks, Phil Farley, George Schniter, Horton Smith and other top players of the era.

His career included playing competitively on the European tour, head golf professional at several of America’s most esteemed golf clubs, and a career of teaching both tour professional and amateur golfers. In the years after World War II, he conducted his instruction indoors at the Spaulding Building in New York City.

He found that the could achieve better success with his students indoors because they would not be distracted by ball flight and instead focused on performing the swing correctly. Along with Harvey Penick, Tommy Armour, and Percy Boomer, he was inducted into the World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame in 1977.
