Sugarloaf Mountain, home of the Rotary Swing Golf Academy, was named the number 1 new golf course in Florida and number 10 in the country by GolfWeek! The impressive elevation changes and great architectural vision of Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore have created a very playable and fun track with numerous options for shots off
Do You Believe in Miracles?
Posted on 13 October 2008 I do now!!! Well I don’t know where to start…I guess I can say that it is a good thing that I listened to Ray and changed the name of this blog from 12 months to greatness to journey to greatness because it only took 4 days Quick background…I
Leggo my EGO!
When I wrote this I was done. I had no confidence and was utterly embarrassed to hit a ball in front of anyone. So posting my sequence for all to see was a very big first step for me. Posted 9 October 2008 This is the most difficult thing I have done in a long
Down and Out
I am copying all my posts from the blog section in the forum over to here. This is how the journey started… 9 October 2008 For the last 2 years I have been playing some really good golf. Shooting mainly in the low 80′s to mid 70′s mainly from the blue tees mixing the tips
The Transition – Working with a Student
I was giving a lesson to a student and good friend, Ed Mylett, yesterday and it was very timely that I had just put out the video on the bump transition because that is exactly what we worked on in his swing. In the screen capture below you will see his swing on the left
Hello World!!
HELLO WORLD! No I am not tiger woods (yet) but I feel like him now after Chuck Quinton and all the fine members of Rotary Swing Golf forum saved my golfing life! You see…I am you. If you are at this site than you love golf. Whether you are a 30 handicap or a plus handicap I know you
“The Geese is Here.”
Growing up I spent most of my late summers cutting tobacco in the fiels of Southern Maryland. It’s an industry consigned to History now. But, it was a big industry at the time. “Housing” tobacco was as much a cultural touchstone as it was an economic pursuit. And, oh Brother, was it ever hard work.
Bomb Your Driver Clinic Participants Pick Up 30 Yards!
As an extension of my golf swing instruction clinics, it was only natural that a “Bomb Your Driver Clinic” that teaches all the secrets of picking up massive distance off the tee would be coming. Well, today was our first clinic and it was a great success. Both students picked up massive distance using the
Chuck Quinton on Golf Talk Radio with Mike and Billy
I recently did a radio interview with Mike and Billy of ESPN’s Golf Talk Radio to discuss my book, ”The Rotary Swing“ . These guys were really great fun to talk to and are serious golf nuts. They just posted the Podcast of the show, you can listen to it from their website here: http://golftalkradiomikeandbilly.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=393039 If that
Titleist 909D3 – Did Titleist Finally Get It Right?
I had the “opportunity” to test out the new tour issue Titleist 909 D3 in August before the retail addition hit the streets. It was shafted up with a Diamana Whiteboard X flex 73 gram shaft. My first impression was that it looked quite sharp, classic Titleist muted colors which I love and a very
Rotary Hitter Conversion – Right Hand Control
I’ve decided to continue my conversion to a Rotary Hitter from a Rotary Swinger, much to the dissappointment of many, but it puts less stress on my left hip which has been injured in 2 car accidents. I’m working on it today in the “Rotary Swing Golf Lab” and am sharing an update. It’s very
Add 5 mph of Clubhead Speed
One of the most common ”faults” I see in students when giving a lesson is tension in the hands. It often starts at address and only gets worse from there. Apart from robbing the golfer of a consistent release, it also robs the golfer of precious clubhead speed, and thus, potential ball speed. Everyone wants to
Matrix Shafts Help McNeill Pick Up 16 Yards
Settling in on our tried and true Nakashima Htec head with the Matrix XCon5, Greg McNeill picked up 16 yards of CARRY on average over his higher spinning Wishon/Harrison combo. Greg plays at Lake Nona in Orlando and you don’t get much roll out there unless you bring the ball in on a shallower angle
Driver Fittings Take-off with Matrix Shafts
Since April of 2008, we have had an average increase in driver distance of nearly 20 yards per student, with a couple averaging an increase of over 40 yards off the tee! Since we started adding the Matrix Shaft line to our offering, we started seeing much lower spin rates and much tighter shot dispersion
