A Lesson from (Maybe) Phil's New Teacher

By now you've all heard that Phil Mickelson and Butch Harmon are no longer working together. You've probably also heard that Phil's new teacher is rumored to be Andrew Getson, an instructor at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale and also a Cleveland Golf teaching pro. (For those of you who want all the skinny on the "breakup," you can get up to speed by reading this Matthew Rudy post and this Tim Rosaforte post, both at the Golf Digest site.)

At any fee, I thought you may like to pay attention the form of stuff Getson teaches. Here's one in all his Cleveland Golf movies about growing greater club head pace.

Earlier inside the week I did a put up approximately the significance of shoulder turn and why all of the emphasis on leg pressure is misplaced. I think it's exciting that Getson takes the same role. He surely encourages you to take a stance with a view to allow your legs power at the downswing but he makes a speciality of shoulder turn and the usage of your palms and arms to swing quicker.

According to the reports, Getson helped Phil together with his posture earlier than the Presidents Cup and apparently it's a part of the motive Phil performed so nicely after this kind of lackluster 12 months. Phil says he simply wants to get "...A few special perspectives and thoughts." So I checked out several of Getson's motion pictures on YouTube simply to see what kind of stuff he teaches. I like what I've heard up to now.

If this is the guy Phil's selected, the rest of the Tour may want to put together for a brand new chapter within the Mickelson saga.
