Scheduling LessonsPlease email me at john@golfbetterproductions.com to schedule a lesson. I will get back to you right away, especially if you remember to include your phone number! Ball Flight LawsI have moved the ball flight laws diagram to the forum. Check it out. It's important info!New on DVDSlice Buster and Professional Impact DVD are finished! These two 1 hour plus DVDs contain everything I know to date about fixing a slice and creating professional impact conditions. The drills contained are all those that I use every day in my Golf Academy. They work. Fast. Not every drill fits every student, but every student WILL lfind at least one drill that fits them. I am currently burning one at a time on my Mac, so the DVDs are burned, not stamped, and may have issues outside of the US. Contact me about PAL format if you need that format.Biggie in Golf IllustratedThe new Golf Illustrated magazine hit the stands October 23! My impact article will help you understand the most misunderstood and misapplied motion in golf. Please check it out and don't be afraid to let the publisher know if you like it!PA State TourneyChristine Shimel fought her way to a second round 71 in 35+ mph wind to finish second at the PA state championship. She was followed closely by 13 year old Aurora Kan and Alexis Holmes. 3 girls in the top 5! How about that?!!!Congratulations Alexis!Alexis Holmes has decided to accept a scholarship offer from the University of Maryland. She was so excited that she couldn't concentrate on anything for a couple of days. And then she went out and won the PA East Regional Championship with a 1 under par round.8 Scholarships in 3 years!In the last 3 years, 8 of my students have received golf scholarships to college. Talent and hard work, (ok, plus quality instruction) pays off!

Launched in 1998, GOLF BETTER PRODUCTIONS was founded to help educate
golfers in their quest to learn or relearn the game we love so much.
Our mission is simple. We want to see the national average golf score
improve from the current and rather dismal 100 --something that hasn't
happened in over twenty years. Golfers are not improving! GOLF BETTER
PRODUCTIONS seeks to change that painful reality by publishing
instructional material that really works. We're committed to giving
you the information you absolutely must master to play this game
well. Our premise is that you are much better than you think. You
just need more accurate, clear, and concise golf instruction, and to know
how to learn it.
The John Dunigan School for Learning and Playing the Game of Golf
(aka. The John Dunigan Golf Academy)
I really want to call the golf academy the top line above, but it’s a little long to remember and quite painful to type in a web browser. However it really does make what we do clear: no gimmicks, hot tips, or quick fixes, just honest to goodness guidance on how to learn and play your best. The name, johndunigan.com, is just easier to type.
Fundamentally Sound Instruction that you will understand
The key to playing the game of golf is to able to predict the outcome of your swing. How can you manage the course, or yourself for that matter, if you don’t know where the ball is going? Hence, the application of the club to the ball is the foundation of our teaching, learning, and playing philosophy. By giving students a true understanding (meaning, they can demonstrate, not just recite the words) of the three principles of ball flight, Backspin, Compression, and Sidespin, we teach our students to play golf shots, not just swing the club. By helping students understand the nature of the game and as well as their own swing, we help golfers develop the most important skill any of us can have in this game: To be able to become your own coach.
The Psychology of Learning and Performing
Of course, knowing what you are trying to learn is useful only insomuch as you know how to learn it. This is the aspect of our instruction of which we are most proud. We don’t teach, we enlighten. We can take a career slicer and teach him to hit a draw within just a few minutes because we first enlighten the student as to how beautifully he was applying the club to the ball to create that slice (whether he knew it or not). Indeed, students seldom realize that they are actually doing everything exactly correct to create the results they get. The ball always goes exactly where you hit it. The club programs the ball. You program the club. Are you doing your job?
Many golfers can’t take their range game to the golf course. That’s why we have devised practice programs to simulate the real thing at the range. And that’s why we do so much on-course instruction where we help you learn how to play all the shots you’ll find on the course and, more importantly, talk about the keys to performing: Intention and Attention.
Intention is simply, "what are you going to do with the club to create the shot you want?" The other part is attention: Pay attention! Forget about the score or the importance of the shot or that people are watching you and you just don’t want to make a fool of yourself and focus on what you are doing with the club so well that you the distractions are far from your mind. The Great Shot Process™ is our way of getting you to hear your golf buddies say "great shot!" a lot more often. Please do not confuse this with what’s normally called the pre-shot routine, because there is all the difference in the world between the two. The Great Shot Process™ consists of getting your mind in the right state to execute the shot. Relaxation, breathing, visualization, and smart thinking, precede rehearsal swings that confirm exactly what you intend to do with the club for the shot at hand. Then there is the fully focused actual shot, followed by the post shot review wherein you refine your intention more accurately. The Great Shot Process™ makes every shot a learning experience and helps you truly understand and learn your own swing.
Forget about "the swing" and find your swing
Golf gurus can’t even agree on how to hold the club much less on how to swing the darned thing. So who’s right? Perhaps the wide variety of swings we see on tour gives us an important clue-there is no "the" swing. It turns out that you need shockingly little instruction concerning how to swing the golf club once you have the core knowledge and visualization of how the club interacts with the ball to create ball flight. It is truly amazing to see how fast a student’s swing can transform itself almost as if by magic when he lets go of "how to" in favor of simply applying the club to the ball to create ball flight. Your amazingly brilliant brain/body system already knows how to do it, you just need to give it some key info in the form of what are you trying to make the ball do and what do you need to do with the club to make it happen. In fact, I believe that what we call "golf swing" is only seen in retrospect, as a result of a golfers intentional application of the club to create ball flight. When I help a student learn to hit a draw, his swing all of the sudden starts to look awfully close to the swing plane model you see in my books and on my web site-the only thing missing is me telling him what to do. I help him find out how he hits a draw, rather than try to teach him how I do. The answers are his, not mine. The learning is real and long term. I know it sounds strange to have a PGA Master Teaching Professional tell you that he doesn’t really teach the swing, but you have to experience this process of true learning to believe it.
Golf Talk
Impact SequenceHere you go folks. Look at this sequence over and over until you can feel it as you see it in your mind's eye. Play the move on the back of your eyelids. This sequence shows the real meaning of "getting it to low point," and that, my friends, you can't live without! Notice that the ball is not compressed against the ground, but against the club face, although against the ground is a great image, it's not accurate. Check out how long the club head is in the ground after impact. That's the 5 inches Bobby Clampett talked about in his very good book that came out this fall.The club shaft is leaning forward right through impact. Therefore we get compression, a downward, backspin producing blow, acceleration, or more accurately resistance to deceleration, and the loft of the club head is changed from 9iron to more like a 7iron. These are the reasons why pros hit the ball so far. Ben Hogan Swing SequenceI have heard that Hogan, himself, thought he hit it better before the accident, but played the game better after it. Single Plane, Dual Plane, and The Swing Plane: Things you should know.There has been an awful lot of discussion about one plane and two plane swings lately, and since I’ve gotten so many questions about the subject, I thought I would share with you my thoughts on the matter, in hopes that some clearer understanding could be found. Keep in mind that there have been GREAT golfers with both types of swing.First of all, you must be aware that 1. The discussion is mainly about address setup and the position of the left arm at the top of the backswing. 2. There is no mention of the swing plane as we know it. The words single plane and dual plane can be very misleading when used in conjunction with The Swing Plane Model, because the swing plane that we are familiar with is VERY different from the left arm position at the top of the backswing (please check the swing plane section of this site). When used in context of the shaft plane at address (the design of the club), it is clear that, whether you use a one plane swing or a two plane swing, ALL golf swings move above plane at the top of the backswing and must return to the original plane on the downswing--and that means that all swings are two plane swings.Peter Jacobsen old and new swings provide a perfect example of the confusion between The Swing Plane Model, as I've written about on this site, and the Single vs Dual Plane concept currently in vogue. Although Jacobsen's left arm is across his shoulder line at the top (Single Plane) his hands and club are clearly above his swing plane as set at address. Were a golfer to misinterpret the left arm position as on a Single Swing Plane, as in no plane shift at the top, he would seriously miss the point. Jacobsen's position at the top is right on the money because his distance from the plane is minimal, in fact close to as little as possible in a full swing, creating a very simple move to return the club to the original plane on the way down. Interestingly, his downswing plane is VERY similar to what you'll find on this site (see the swing from the menu), and awfully similar to some of the best ball strikers who ever lived (see: a comparison of great golfers also on this site) although what we do (or think we do) to get there on the way down is extremely different due to the fact that we had different moves already working in our swings. And there is the real point. It's really difficult to learn from a book because the author can't see what moves you have already developed. Hence the two different swings.When a golfer hits a hook, as most expert golfers first learn to do, he tends toward a flattish swing (one plane) that tends if anything to get too inside to out through impact, creating a line of compression that actually crosse
