I enjoyed a golf clinic earlier in the year with Simon (and Adam - short game specialist). The instruction was excellent, I never realised before that day that more than hand pressure, it's too much tension in the forearms that kills the swing. Also what Simon emphasised with me, as in this vid is to maintain the same pressure back and through - we all tighten up on the way down and clubface orientation goes out of the window !
....watched this yesterday....today I went on the simulator at Farleigh GC in Surrey....Using a 7 iron I hit as I normally do .....150-155 yards and not exactly straight which is what happens on the course....I changed my grip to the overlock...found my 3 arm pressure...WOW!!! with no effort, it was straight consistently and reaching between 165-175 yards....can't wait to get on the course.....Simon this is the best video on youtube....a big thank you to both you and golf mates....brilliant!!!!.........UPDATE Golf Mates....since my first post I've been on the course twice....my official handicap is 14.8 and I shot 10 over on 2 different courses....this really does work!!...I included the "arm pressure routine" when lining up my shot, I also continued using the overlap grip .....Though I didn't always realise the distance I got on the simulator I wasn't too far off....but most importantly my shots were straight or with a baby draw....Thank you again Simon and the Golf Mates team....Brilliant!!!!
good repeat of the old eye opener session with Liam that I shared with all my buddies. Also loved Simon's video where he hit that drive with his feet perpendicular to the target line.
Using gravity, momentum and arm pressure 3. I set up to the ball and took 3 swings, relaxed and like a pendulum. On the 3rd swing, I hit the ball. A solid strike off the middle of the face. This will now be my practice routine on the range with all clubs and might bring it onto the course. Stick with it, it works! Great simple instruction, as always from Simon well done 👏
Used the arm pressure drill on the course this weekend and got 35 points each day - way better than last weekends 27 & 29 Will keep on it as still reverting to gripping tight under pressure
Great lesson, and shows the importance of getting lessions that are tailored for your individual swing. ..... On-line tips are great ( yes, I use them too) but you can`t beat a lesson from a good pro like Simon..... And fair play to Nick for trusting the pro and listening.
Absolutely vital lesson from Simon. Amateurs mostly struggle because they are not swinging the club in the first place. They are putting it into positions. It needs to swing freely using gravity and momentum. It cannot be forced.
Absolutely golden, i think we all tend to make an easy fluid practice swing, then set up to the ball and put the mole grips on, clear concise information first class
What a great lesson def will be trying those tips man is a great old school coach we should all listen to how good was the greek hitting it after that lesson great vid thanks lads
Absolutely perfect blend of information input at the rate we can understand to simp!ify the repeatable action required to improve our ability. Thank you Simon
As the English say that was Mint! You know what? Graham and Liam should drag Simon to PRC and Simon could give lessons all week. Would be the busiest week of his year!
I've been thinking the same thing. He seems like a classy young man (from the eight or ten comments he has made on the videos) and I think it would be great to see his development as a golfer.
Not watched yes but this is what I've been hoping for, no disrespect liam but find the mid to high handicap more relatable. Be a good series watching nick the Greek turning into a golfer and taking you and the rest of the boys on.
Well 3 am the old insomnia gene kicked in, it's enough to think about hitting dam ball let alone all this pressure 3 arm, hands 2 sticking to Danny Maude for instruction but golf mates for giggles and fun😊 instruction and golfmates not a good match,,
I can now clearly see I have too many swing thoughts for my brain to cope with. Everyone talks about grip pressure, not forearm pressure. That was news. Never seen it described in such a simple way. My grip is good, and it’s reassuring to hear my interlocking grip suits my hand size (small) so at least that bit’s right! What’s next, and when?
Most of the instruction golf videos on UA-cam the instructors were not PGA touring professionals they didn’t make the grade. I believe I’m right saying Simon did make the grade he was a touring professional there’s a big difference/
Wonderful teacher…uncomplicated, stressing fundamentals, no gimmicks
Love his simplicity. Without over complicating the golf swing…. He is a brilliant coach Simon ⛳️
Wow! What a lesson! I just know this is going to improve my game! Can't wait to start practice! Thanks Simon and of course Liam! ⛳🏌♂️🍻
Absolutely brilliant Simon, simple and easy to understand, can't wait for the next installment,come on Nick master that lesson,👏👏👍
That last golf swing was just awesome - well done both 👏

briliant point about arm pressure, ive always tried to hold the club light in the hands , but obviuosly to tight in the arms , thanks
Big big bit of gold there
That’s one of the best videos I’ve seen on YT fantastic instructor.
This is BRILLIANT never ever have I seen such a CLEAR SIMPLE instruction OMG finally I now understand GOLF....THANK YOU...from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Used the arm pressure drill on the course this weekend and got 35 points each day - way better than last weekends 27 & 29
Will keep on it as still reverting to gripping tight under pressure
Simon is absolutely brilliant man. The way he connects idea to feel is genius

So true
This video was PERFECT
One of the best lessons I’ve seen
Simon that's one of the best lesson I have watched for awhile brilliant
love it, I've given two thumbs up,one on me laptop and one on me phone, video put away to watch later thanks for that tip.
Thank you
That was a masterclass from Simon I could listen to him all day
Can see Nick becoming a very good player over time
Great video lads
Already commented on this yesterday but took this lesson out on the course today and played the best golf I have played in a long time.
Absolutely vital lesson from Simon. Amateurs mostly struggle because they are not swinging the club in the first place. They are putting it into positions. It needs to swing freely using gravity and momentum. It cannot be forced.
Well said
Great lesson Simon and Nick. Taking this to the range.
Absolutely golden, i think we all tend to make an easy fluid practice swing, then set up to the ball and put the mole grips on, clear concise information first class
Thanks Simon and Liam-really enjoy this quality series-great job !!😊
That was absolutely brilliant lesson so simple to follow and carry out excellent teaching simon
What a great lesson def will be trying those tips man is a great old school coach we should all listen to how good was the greek hitting it after that lesson great vid thanks lads
Absolutely cracking stuff and great to Nik the Greek in front of the camera.
Can’t wait to try this out. Just what I need right now. Thanks Simon.
Simon.... What a great vid.. So simple.. To the point... And with a result for Nick... Brilliant......
Absolutely perfect blend of information input at the rate we can understand to simp!ify the repeatable action required to improve our ability. Thank you Simon
Simon is brilliant. So simple. I wish I lived nearer him! It will be great to see Nick out with Liam, Steve and Pete when Simon has finished with him.
Looking forward to seeing Nik on the course!
Brilliant lesson Simon, thank you
What an amazingly simple way of looking at the golf swing.
Great video Golfmates!!
Awesome video 💪🏻👍🏻😎simon makes it very easy to understand thanks simon 👊🏻😜
This is an excellent lesson. I’ve never been able to cover the thumb and had no idea why
Great interesting uncomplicated lesson
That arm pressure tip is gold ..worked a charm for me...ball striking and accuracy drastically improved.🎉
I can't wait to get out to the range to try these tips and see if it improves my iron shots. Great video Simon!
Brilliant, simple, might break o0 yet, great instructor. The Seeing is the Doing. Namaste 🙏 ❤
Absolutely brilliant Simon thank you.
Great tuition Simon a lot of golfers can benefit from this video
Great video, brilliant idea showing some footage of the team behind the cameras learning to play.
As the English say that was Mint! You know what? Graham and Liam should drag Simon to PRC and Simon could give lessons all week. Would be the busiest week of his year!
lol you never know
Well done again Simon, very informative 👍🏌️
Thank you
Brilliant video!

So Simple Yet so Effective 👍👍
Brilliant video Simon and Nick
Loved this....more please 😊
I hope Pressly is in queue to be getting lessons! Now that he got a good set of clubs we want to watch his progression as well! C'mon The Reaper!!
He is
I've been thinking the same thing. He seems like a classy young man (from the eight or ten comments he has made on the videos) and I think it would be great to see his development as a golfer.
Great lesson.
Pure Gold!
Simon is a legend absolute gentleman aswell would love a lesson from him
Awesome coach/teacher.
Excellent, thank you 😊
Simon makes things so simple & not too many steps to follow in the process
Great advice Simon
Extremely good lesson.
Quality, thank you
Top top instructor.
I can't wait to try this out at the range. Sounds so simple, can it be true!! Proof is in the video...
Great lesson…. You’re going to be in trouble Liam!
What an instructor 🫡
love that great one
I really like that teacher...great video ...
Quality Simon
It was
Thanks Simon, I hope this will help me, it certainly can't hurt! 😂
Well done Nick
EXCELLENT 👏👏👏
Very very interesting
Excellent!
What a great video
Great video
Great tips
Good that. Would be good to see Nick doing a couple of holes after a lesson.
Great video to help. As a higher handicap player, just wondering would this process help with driver as well
You obviously didn't watch the video properly because he answered
Great vid. Better swing that you Liam. 😉
Yes, tension is always a killer for me.
Not watched yes but this is what I've been hoping for, no disrespect liam but find the mid to high handicap more relatable. Be a good series watching nick the Greek turning into a golfer and taking you and the rest of the boys on.
Absolutely agree
Ha Liam very relatable to since a mid handicapper and Mr Barlow even higher,,,but a newb intro will give us lots of tips we've forgotten
Well 3 am the old insomnia gene kicked in, it's enough to think about hitting dam ball let alone all this pressure 3 arm, hands 2 sticking to Danny Maude for instruction but golf mates for giggles and fun😊 instruction and golfmates not a good match,,
He is brilliant 👏 😊r you watching liam 😂
I had a lesson
Great Communicator
Great video. When do we get to see Nick in a video instead of behind the camera. Watch out Mr B there's a new kid in town 😅
Already tried it in my garage , turns out i needed an overlap grip not the interlock . Cant wait to hit the range and get used to it .
I can now clearly see I have too many swing thoughts for my brain to cope with. Everyone talks about grip pressure, not forearm pressure. That was news. Never seen it described in such a simple way. My grip is good, and it’s reassuring to hear my interlocking grip suits my hand size (small) so at least that bit’s right! What’s next, and when?
Good to see Nick the Greek getting some rest from being behind the camera..
The practice swings are great BUT I always end up clenching (increasing arm/grip pressure) at impact - Any tips on how to stop that ????
Most of the instruction golf videos on UA-cam the instructors were not PGA touring professionals they didn’t make the grade. I believe I’m right saying Simon did make the grade he was a touring professional there’s a big difference/
Wish i could take him with me each time i play hahahaha
If Nick is playing will Mr B be on camera 😂😂❤
Was worried by the thumbnail - I thought it was Jamie Bullard !! (that's an insult, but I'm not sure who to !)
❤
Thank you
Good content what about hidden gems
Monday back
big changes made simple
