    I LOVE the “I’m a good enough coach to say just do it like that” comment. How many golfers have had to go through swing overhauls because a coach felt like they had to change something in order to justify their fee? Class act.

    • @yourbestgolf365
      @yourbestgolf365 Рік тому +11

      Far too many. My coach told me a very long time ago that he didn't want to see me for a lesson unless something went really bad. He wanted me to go out and put the changes into action and "learn to golf" with it. I don't think Ive paid for a lesson since even though we've had some. Its not about the money for him. He taught me and I went out and taught others. He's a grow the game guy.

    I grew up in Columbia, Missouri and got to know Stan a little. He has always had a simple manner of speaking with no wasted words, to go along with a simple golf swing with no wasted movement. He could get up and down from anywhere. I've never seen a better short game.

      Wife and I went to high school with Stan (he was a bit younger) and followed him on Nationwide and PGA tour. Genuine good guy. So happy he found his niche. His younger brother was a pretty solid golfer as well.

    I was paired with Stan in a few Nationwide events back in the day. The man has forgotten more about the short game than most people know. If you could label someone an expert in an area of golf he is surely one. It is quite a shame that he's been stricken with Parkinson's because he'd still be very competitive to this day.

      Read an article that said when he grabs a club his hands stop shaking. Recently shot a 69 at some charity event. I payed attention to it in the video and sure enough his hands quit shaking when he puts them both on the club. It would be an absolute honor to get a lesson from this legend one day.

  • @StalkerJamforx
    @StalkerJamforx Рік тому +8

    Great video! Stan is one of the 2 best short game instructors of all time. I am quite impressed with how good he is with the full swing though. I can never get enough of these types of videos. His ideas on releasing the club head in chipping and putting have been helping people for a couple decades.

  • @user-qq2mo1ek2r

    Stan is a legend. I have all of his short game and golf swing books. He's the one who brought "using the bounce" in chipping and pitching to the mainstream. He did a series of short videos that went along with one of his books that was just incredible. He's awesome. Great stuff Grant!

    I gotta try the Lamkin corded grip. I’ve been using the Golf Pride Tour Velvet Corded for ever. If I’ve ever switched to just try something else, that new grip usually gets cut off after one round and I always go back. The one attribute I wish the Tour Velvet Corded had would be a slightly more grabby feel. Yes, even more than they have already. If the Lamkin offers that, I’m def going to give them a try. No doubt. 👍🏻😎👍🏻

    I've been trying to learn golf for over 30 years.
    I feel in the early days (before all the videos and trackers) the emphasis was on building up torque between the lower and upper parts of the body and then releasing the clubhead pass the body. Now the emphasis seems to be on rotating through the ball with the club delofted.
    This lesson seemed to.major on the release of the clubhead.
