If you’re anything like me, you have a pretty busy schedule. Between a 45+ hour work week, three kids, my wife and and her busy schedule…I just don’t have a lot of spare time on my hands.
Believe it or not, sometimes I don’t even have time to play golf (even nine holes)! So the last thing I have the time (or money) for is a golf lesson! It may sound crazy, but I just don’t have that extra hour to spare, especially at around $60 a pop.
I’ll admit though, I don’t really try to make the time for a golf lesson because, well…it’s not really a high priority. I play golf for fun. Not to be a pro. I probably play softball more often than golf, but I’ve never considered hiring a batting coach! So why would I consider doing it for golf?
That being said, I would still like to play a little better. I would like to make that slice I have go away. I’d like to be a bit more consistent. But I sure don’t want to pay a healthy chunk of my paycheck to do it. So where does someone like me turn? How about the same place people turn for just about everything else…the internet. Now I know what you’re thinking – “How can you get a legitimate golf lesson on the internet?” I’ll tell you how – quickly, easily, efficiently and inexpensively – that’s how. And that’s exactly what I found in my experience with www.fixyourgame.com/.
PGA Pro and Director of Instruction Brant Kasbohm has created a golf instruction website that is incredibly easy to use, very informative and amazingly affordable. All that’s required is a video of your swing from both behind and face-on and $19.95. After emailing my video and filling out the “Get Started” page, all I had to do was wait, and the wait wasn’t long. Less than 36 hour later, I had received an email back. Contained in the email was a breakdown of some of the problems with my swing (posture, weight transfer and swing path) along with potential fixes. Now I know what you might be thinking; you can’t learn much from an email. I might as well have just picked up a magazine, right? Wrong.
Also included in the email were the videos I sent in, side-by-side with video of Brant himself, for the purposes of comparing my swing to his. I should mention, our swings are about as close as you can get to night and day. The personalized videos, complete with Brant’s voice over, play like a tutorial rather than just simply watching a video of a proper swing vs. well, not a very good one. Brant breaks down my swing frame-by-frame to help point out exactly where I’m going wrong.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say, I’ve learned more about my swing in that 8 minute and 39 second video than from anyone, pro or otherwise, who has looked at my swing before. And when I take into consideration it took me no more than $20 and a few minutes to video my swing, www.fixyourgame.com is a no-brainer.
So if you’re like me, you don’t have the time or money, or you’re just not that interested in getting a full-on lesson, then www.fixyourgame.com is an excellent site to check out. It’s informative, inexpensive and takes very little time or effort on your part.
The following day, I had already started trying to work some of the fixes into my swing during a nine hole round. Let’s just say its going to take some getting used to. But thanks to Brant and the team at Fixyourgame.com, I can tell I’m on the right path.
Swing ’til you’re happy!

I made the same experience, but in real life. I had a good swing analysis with our local pro and it helped a lot. For the viewing pleasure I put his comments (and my swing) online. Check out my golf swing videos here at the end of the blog post.
You should put your lesson online too. Maybe we can learn from it.

Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this,
like you wrote the book in it or
something. I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home
a bit, but
other than that, this is great blog. An excellent read.
I will certainly be back.

Helpful info. Lucky me I discovered your site
accidentally, and I’m shocked why this
coincidence didn’t took place earlier! I bookmarked it.
