Bob started out making custom hand made golf clubs with his father many years ago. These were some of the finest clubs around. They were custom made to fit the customer and their individual swing. When I say cust

om made I don’t mean to bend it at some predetermined angle. I mean custom carved and sanded and shellacked it by hand. These beautiful clubs were made under the name “Proficiency”. Bob has an uncanny ability to decipher the golf swing and pick out little things that many others would miss. Over the years he has looked at thousands of swings as he made these custom made clubs. He knows what works and what doesn’t not just as an instructor but also as a master club maker. He knows by looking at the swing is it a simple mechanical adjustment? Is it as simple as using a thicker grip? Bob is a tremendous player and instructor. Bob’s forte is the short game and he is a natural with the kids. He has been a PGA member for over 25 years.

Proficiency golf tip for Memorial Day.

Tempo is the key for a repeatable consistent golf swing. It helps you keep your balance and swing on plane. People who get anxious over the ball rush their backswings, and as a consequence they foul up their downswings. You don’t hit the ball on the backswing, there is no rush!

You need to develop a backswing that gets the club to the proper position, pause, then start your downswing and follow thru.

A good drill to achieve this is a three ball drill. Place 3 balls in a row on the ground and hit them one at a time without stopping. Go back & forth hitting all 3 shots without resetting your stance.
When you do this, you can’t can’t rush your backswing or the start of your downswing.

By the time you hit the third ball you should have developed a nice tempo. Do it several times, then as soon as you feel that nice tempo,try to repeat it on the course.
