GLG    -   Our Philiosophies

  • Basic Philosophies

    The Overview

    Why the golf industry has little idea how to teach a basic golf swing and, furthermore, what is the proper amateur swing training instruction.

    I understand some people are trying hard but not really reaching the general amateur. That is what GLG sees as a propblem and the GLG system will make a healthier and better average golfer.

    Golf professionals have a very bad habit of being a golf professional. As far as I know golf pros are generally very nice people. The basic requirements to be a pro involves shooting par and running a pro shop. All this does not make them good teachers. Or even have an idea the average person has more physical issues than mental toughness issues.

    Very simply put: the average golfer is more interested in physical fitness than winning anything other than a bet on the golf course. That's a disconnect with the pro before even beginning lessons.

    And other than Tiger Woods, I don't think many pros understand all of the parts of a golf swing. They know what they do and little else: hey, it works for them. 

    As opposed to GLG, pros take one unit of the swing, make a big deal about it and ignore all the rest. See Youtube.com for proof.

    "Better" is the aim of individual lessons and golf camps. Not to make you a "good" golfer, just a bit "better" from when you stepped through the door. Rarely will the training take enough time to go back to the physical and swing basics which results in a GOOD repeatable swing.

    And most golf-pro lessons have little to do with the physics of a swing preventing the teaching of a good swing. Worst of all, most lessons given to beginners is so wrong the new golfer easily gets discouraged.

    Good Looking Golf starts at the beginning with the grip and ends with waiting on the green for your buddies. No solution exists giving you a good swing in just 10 swings.

    Unless your muscles are flexible and strong enough, from your feet to your head, you cannot hold the club in the swing plane.

    If you want to see examples of golf nonsense please see Youtube. Please do not blame me, I think golf pros get paid by the word and therefore just cannot stop yapping.

    "Good" is good, "better" may not be good, and "useless" is simply detrimental.

    Our goal at GLG is a good and repeatable swing through our golf oriented healthy workout regimen.

    The goal of most amateurs is making 4 good shots ina row. GLG is a good way to achieve this goal.

    We don't make money on our golf ideas, rather through our healthy workouts featuring the movements needed for golf.

  • Engineered Swing Theory

    Every Pro says: Its my theory and I know it works for me

    Every golf pro must play par golf looking like the tour pro game. Every golf pro projects their swing methodology to their students. The obvious trouble is the student isn't a mirror of the teacher. The beginner, in particular, may have no idea of what the teacher thinks is obvious.

    GLG teaches only one methodology which, hopefully, will be adopted by many teachers and schools. A teachers' Guide is planned.

     

    Why is the swing plane so darn important

    The plane in spain is mainly in the plane.

    A little weight here, a pivot there. It all works out

    Weight Shift means on the backswing the weight and the pivot are on the back leg. On starting the downswing the weight and pivot changes to both legs and is the ortiginal setup position. After the ball is hit the weight and pivot change to the front leg.

    It's not so much a pure weight transfer as changing the pivot legs. The weight does transfer but if all you are concerned with is weight you are missing the im,portance of the pivot leg.

  • Exercise Results in a Sweet Swing

    Don't Just Sit There!

    ♦ Exercising 5 days a week for 15-30 minutes will vastly improve your golf game. Never believe any video proclaiming in 12 shots your game will dramatically improve.
    ♦ Especially if you are never were a good athlete many of the demands of flexibility the golf swing presents are both difficult and a mystery.
    ♦ And, furthermore, you will appreciate the health benefits of a golf oriented exercise program. 
    Additionally, in the future, rehabilitations - say of a hip or knee - programs will be available.
    ♦ Not everyone owns the coordination of the pros who feel every part of the swing with spatial awareness. Part of our exercise programs is building an integration of the arms and legs so all parts of a good swing achieve integration.
    Our programs build up not only the arms (remember, the forward arm must be strong enough to be kept straight), in contrast to the knees which are rarely straight, and the flexibility to turn the torso.
    ♦ Although the focus is on exercises for golf, all programs are good for your general health.

     

    Don't Just Sit There!

    I suggest watching a TV show like "Bodies in Motion with Gilad" a few time each week broadening what you do to your body. Here is a link to their very worthwhile website and please buy a very well priced subscription.

  • GLG vs. Competition

     

    Good Looking Golf

    Competition

     ⇒ Less talk (a lot less)
    ⇒ We teach a very useable and repeatable swing with fewest moving parts
    ⇒ Our exercises make a repeatable swing possible
    ⇒ Daily exercise routines of a wide variety
    ⇒ GLG uses golf to inspire daily exercise as part of a health program

     ⇒ Videos are full of Pros talking yet rarely getting to anything useful
     ⇒ Try to make things better, rather than good
     ⇒ Never defines a good swing from setup to finish
     ⇒ Never an exercise program, only suggestions
     ⇒ Health is not a main feature
     
    Watching our competitions' videos is a sure way to see the difference from GLG's engineered training.
        Sometimes it's fun to watch their videos, but it does take a bit of patience with all the yammering among with the inadequate explanation of a golf swing. Most of the time they point out things that makes no sense to the average golfer.

        Keep in mind most profesional golfers make their living by being nice guys and gals, not their ability to teach.

    In fact, being too coordinated provides litttle insight to the problems of us non-athletes without the spacial perceptions of the pro.
        Harvey Pennick, a famous teacher, wrote the "Little Red Book" (and the "Little Green Book"), was famous for the philosophy: "Take Dead Aim". To us average golfers this is a wonderful dream; well, actually, "taking dead aim" to me is landing anywhere on the green.

        Please be care and be choosy what advice you take away from our competitions' videos. GLG is not about "fixing", the main theme of our competition, but rather starting from the beginning to groove a useful repeatable swing. 

     

  • Relaxing and Enjoyment

    Breath deep, the gathering pin placement is good for you.

    The point of golf for you, the amateur, is having a good time. Golf is a very social game and people don't like you verbally complaing how badly you may play. Make your foursome happy by pretending to be happy, a most difficult task. Don't ruin everyones' day, at least you are outdoors on a golf course.

     

* Welcome to Good Looking Golf

The purpose of GLG? Using engineering (I own an BSEE degree from many years ago when we still studied tubes) to analyze the golf swing, explain every aspect of a good, reliable golf swing, and present the exercises to enable the average golfer to achieve that swing.

I have not found any video on the internet capable of explaining a good swing nor any good exercise programs to teach a good swing. Most videos are made by golf pros whose physical abilites far exceed the average golfer and do not understand our issues. Mostly they are examining one part of the swing and how they think it is important - with a great deal of yapping.

GLG is essentially a video studio cranking out many varied workout programs. A really good example of this is "Bodies in Motion" by Gilad Janklowicz whose TV show I have utilized for 30 years. 

GLG makes its money from exercise videos, with all the theory put up free and copyright free. I'm not sure a golf swing explanation is copyrightable anyway.

I will be finished with the basics - meaning I have to finish the website - next spring. In the meantime I need to build a team to develop and run GLG. I need partners with both the skills and money to make GLG a long running and profitable business.

Since an emphasis on using golf oriented exercises for health I anticipate the health industry to be very interested.

The international markets are just as large as the USA market.

If you are interested in being part of this project, a form to contact me will be available shortly.

Basically I need a team to run and grow the business.

Sincerely yours,
Richard Pearlman
Chief Engineer and 100% owner.
