Stroke Saver: Improve Your Game With The PGA YouTube Channel

Golf lessons used to be expensive. If you needed a pro to fix you up, it meant a trip to the local driving range where a golf professional would take a look at your swing for 15 minutes, tell you that your swing plane was messed up, that your path was moving from outside to inside and that your aim was off. They would toss a broom handle or shaft down by your toes and point it at a target. They’d then use a few tees to make sure your path stayed straight and you would leave that $50-100 lesson feeling better about your game. Come Saturday morning though, your slice was back and you were hacking your way to a 97 from the trees. You’d then go back to your pro the next week saying that you felt how good your swing was last week and that your round went pretty well.
Well, that was yester-year. Today, there’s no expensive trips to the range or hundreds of dollars of gear to purchase to get your swing in shape. Thanks to the PGA Digital Golf Academy, you can cover anything from putting tips to playing that draw right from the palm of your hand. Heck, there’s even videos on rulings and situations on the course that you may never encounter. After donating the time of a few morning workouts to the channel, I believe that the selection of honest PGA Professionals that are giving advice on this channel are spot on.

The topics cover everything from putting techniques to understanding how bounce works on a wedge, there’s a video for almost every topic on the planet and more are being added all the time. Even better, many of the videos or segments are around 5-10 minutes, which doesn’t mean you stand around for an hour getting a theory explained to you. If you’re struggling with something, simply open the channel, search the videos and find what you need.
Now this isn’t supposed to replace your swing doctor for major issues, but when you have a glitch in your swing, it’s a great place to start. The PGA Digital Golf Academy does carry a $4.99 a month subscription rate to access their entire library, but for all the content that is available for free (you can tell by looking for a $ symbol on the video listing) it’s easy to find the help you’ll need to fix that part of your game that needs some attention.
