  1. Excellent advice for the aspiring golfer. Every new golfer should see this (along with some instruction), there’d be a lot less hacking…..

  3. “And you’ve just been Herman-ised…” What a great catchphrase haha

  4. Not everybody likes it … but you won’t forget it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

  6. Herman can you speak to the importance of keeping the grips “connected” throughout the golf swing? I noticed that when I focus on this I have greater pressure into the ball, increased distance and accuracy. Is this true or is it just a side benefit of my focus into the ball? Thanks again!

  7. Definitely want the hands to stay unified. Too many players let the bottom hand (right hand for righty’s) separate from the handle and or the top hand in the backswing, then let it fly away early in downswing. I prefer the player stay attached and apply pressure through the hit – any “fly away” should be after impact.

  8. Brilliant video ive just taken up golf so im loking for some tips on the proper stance, grip etc, i am curious however, where do you teach as if your near me then i would love to pop down for a lesson? Thanks buddy

  9. Thanks for watching and commenting. I teach at The Golf Academy in Raleigh, NC. You can get more info by following the website links in the description under this video.

  11. I’m a very new beginner, and this video makes a ton of sense to me. I am going to try this out with my backyard when I practice. Fortunately, I have a huge back yard in which to practice. I have almost 1 acre. 🙂

  13. Thanks! That was easy to understand. Just played for the first time today on a par 3 course. Now I have something to practice for the next time I go out and hit some.

  14. Your videos are very helpful. Please tell me why you are not a fan of the interlocking grip. I have used that grip my whole life because it’s what I was taught. I would change if there was a good reason. Thanks.

  15. total beginner. i went out with a pile of 1997 Armours and used your swing basics. No whiffs and no worm burners. Every non scoring shot had distance and trajectory. I bombed by 7 Iron 150+ three times. Most shots were straight or a little left. Just enough success to make me want to play and learn more. Thanks!!!

  16. Thanks Herman! Most of the instruction I’ve seen gives you to much at one time. This lesson broke it down and made it easy to concentrate. All my balls are in the air and straight now. I wont forget you.

  17. Thank you, this was very helpful. I am a very new beginner and I have been looking for videos just like this(this was the first I’ve found). I look forward to exploring your other videos. Thank you so much for this!

  18. Thanks for joining our frustration. 🙂 Just kidding … hopefully you will enjoy it for a long time.

  19. Gman, there are several other replies in comments about this on YouTube and my website. Check the comments section on my “flat wrist video.” for recent explanation. Thanks for watching and commenting.

  20. I am also new at this sport and enrolled in a class. Participants are much more experieinced than me. We were taught the complete follow through swing. Thanks for breaking the swing down so I can now learn to do it correctly.

  22. My wife and daughters, none who have ever played golf, just watched the video. Off to try their first swings. We’ve been Hermanized.

  24. Herman: i have just taken up the game at 50+ … i find your instruction extremely helpful. i have taken you at your word re: 4 swings and out.

    Conditioning seems to be critical … How do i build flexibility?

  25. Great … good luck. Swinging a heavy club will help your range of motion. Yoga class might be next.
