I'll start out by saying if you want to build your golf swing and leverage a process grounded in sound fundamentals that is easy to understand, follow, and be fun, look no further than working with Sang. When I first met Sang 2 years ago, I was interested in getting my 6-yr old son lessons that would help him build a sound foundation in learning the game I love. Sang works well with kids and my son will be the first to admit that out of all his coaches he's had to date, Sang is his favorite. He made learning the game fun and used body mechanics that my son has learned through other sports to help him hone his golf swing. After watching Sang work with my son a few times, I decided to take lessons from him as well. At the time, bogey golf was a good round for me and I never thought shooting in the 70's was possible, especially after shoulder and neck surgery earlier this year limited my motion. I knew my faults, limitations, and didn't have a good process to self-evaluate or improve my swing.
We started with basic concepts and Sang emphasized building a repeatable process to practice and strengthen my "inner coach" when evaluating my game. His short game combine is a great evaluation process if you want to know how good you really are. From there, we worked on re-training how I approach the game, how I approach practice, and how I approach the swing in different situations. The process has been fun and the results are noticeable. My ultimate golf goal was to break 80 and be more consistent. At my last session, I told Sang that those goals needed to change significantly. This year, I've broken 80 a number times, I currently hold a single digit handicap, and my now 8-yr old and I won our Father-Son tournament at our club in an alternate shot format. Several weeks ago I played 9 holes from the tips at my club with the club champion and shot 4-over; I have no fear in playing 450+ yd Par 4's or 550+ yd Par 5's. Distance, accuracy, and consistency with any club in my hand leads to confidence in my game all from trusting the process and not focusing on immediate results or scores. While I may have met my "ultimate" goals in golf, I know I'm still learning how to play this game to my full potential. I also know that when my inner coach starts to lose his way, then I can check back with Sang to keep me focused and validate my process for improvement.
