I purchased the The Simple Golf Swing at a time when I was playing quite a lot of golf, but was struggling with my game. I was inconsistent off the tee and around the greens. To improve my swing and hence golf game I decided to have lessons, which I did from a number of professionals, with each lesson costing about $50. The lessons did give me an insight to the mechanics of a golf swing and I am sure that they have helped in someway, but I was obviously not satisfied and was still searching for ways to improve my golf game. Now I didn t expect to play like Tiger Woods or Greg Norman, but I really just wanted more consistency and wanted to enjoy my golf more, hit the ball straighter and not have to chip out from the tees, time and time again after a wayward drive. I stumbled upon the Simple Golf Swing website, and after checking most of the reviews and sales blurb, decided to purchase a copy.
The Simple Golf Swing has a number of steps, that are explained in an easy to understand way and also has photographs that illustrate the simple swing, making it very easy to understand. By breaking the swing into simple steps, it was very easy to learn.

SetUp
The setup is probably the most important factor in determining your score the setup routine shown ensures that you setup for each shot in the same way. Luckily, the setup is the easiest part of your swing to change. It s the easiest of all the bad habits related to your golf swing to break, and the description and photographs in the eBook ensure that you can learn this setup routine in about 5 minutes.
Grip
First of all, an important fact you should realize that your grip affects the results that you get. However, the grip used in the simple golf swing is not as complicated as the other systems make it out to be.
Alignment
The eBook descibes and shows an extremely simple method that will dramatically improve your alignment, and it uses one good and simple method for lining up with your target that you probably don t use just yet.
Timing
Timing is discussed in the eBook, and how to get good practice timing to get extra distance with less effort. The eBook has broken down the actual swing into the following steps
1. Correct Rotation
2. Correct arm position through the swing
3. The downswing
4. Hand movement through the ball
5. Head movement through out the swing
Each of the five steps described above are explained in detail and have accompanying photographs to illustrate the particular point. Breaking the golf swing into 5 steps meant that it was easy to learn, particularly when each of the steps are also very simple. The Simple Golf Swing comes at a cost of $47, which is actually less than the cost of a lesson. It is a 31 page eBook, meaning that you get access to it immediately after purchasing and can started straight away. It took me just over an hour to read and digest the Simple Golf Swing, which is also about the same time as one lesson. One good thing is that I still have the instruction book that I can refer to time and time again without having to go back to the professional. After that hour is done, I was ready to go out to the driving range and get going.
Did the Simple Golf Swing work?
When I purchased The Simple Golf Swing, I was playing once or twice a week, practised one a week at a driving range and had a handicap of 14. These days I play once or maybe twice a month, don t have time for practice, mainly because I am busy on Tuesdays, Thursdays and weekends coaching my two sons soccer teams and I am maintaining a handicap of 11. I am enjoying my game so much more than I used to and now hit in the seventies regularly.
Despite my aging body deteriorating, and my strength reducing, the simple mechanics of the simple golf swing have ensured that I consistently out drive my playing partners. In six outings this year I have hit a 73, 78 and 79, and the rest of my golf scores have been in the 80 s. My advice is emphatically in favour of the simple golf swing, particularly given the amazing price!
