Was only thinking of a few basics. I wanna show him a few things then get him to wallop it, anyone with positive ideas?

I aint gonna talk technical but what would readers here do in my situation

The best thing for someone who has never swung before is the analogy of the clubface being a baseball bat. Opens on the backswing and the closes on the downswing. Most people that are just starting either dont open the clubface at all on the way back, or open it way too much, both of which are helped by this.

Get him to do Brian's "3-ball drill." I think one of his YouTube's discusses how to teach a total beginner. Maybe the 2nd or 3rd one.

Show him a pivot that makes the club go around and forward. Then show him arm and wrist action that makes the club go up and down and then do Brian's 3 ball drill.

Required Reading.....

Require Him/Her to Read All of Mandrin's Posts before Picking Up a Golf Club.... Also Threaten Him/Her with a Quiz to Insure the Task is Completed.....:eek:

Cheers guys. I think making him watch the wife swing would be good. Just so long as he doesn't check out her ass too much ;)

Youtube clip v good. Had forgotten that one.

Neck on the mend, hopeful for May/June comeback
