Michael Bannon Presents Six Steps to Better Golf DVD

NO-ONE derived more satisfaction from Rory McIlroy's first Major win at the US Open than his lifelong mentor and coach Michael Bannon.Bannon discovered the potential of the boy McIlroy a decade before he burst onto the international scene - a ruddy-faced and wiry-haired teenage phenomenon - winning the Silver Medal as leading amateur in the 2007 Open at Carnoustie.Now you can learn from the man who has helped the 22-year-old become the biggest sensation in world golf since Tiger Woods and a favourite for next month's Augusta Masters.Bannon, a quietly-spoken and modest... club pro at Bangor GC, County Down, has collaborated with technology-inspired teaching pro Pat Trainor, to produce a very different method of coaching by thinking outside the box.It's that desperate desire to hit that little white thing that can get in the way for many players, explains Michael. We take it out of the equation until they learn how to swing. By the end of the course we want the student to be almost swinging without thinking. Hopefully this way they will groove a swing that the golf ball will eventually get in the way of.The other difference is that we teach the full follow-through before the backswing, which some people may think is back to front, but we have found is far better for getting the fundamentals right.This is the integral message of the DVD which shows Bannon out on the course, working on the techniques with 19-year-old international Victoria Bradshaw.The only promise we make is that if you follow the instructions for 10 minutes each day over a six week period you will develop a solid golf swing with great fundamentals which will stay with you for life, says Michael.But let the last word go to McIlroy: Michael is a wonderful teacher because he can explain things to simply and naturally. I am someone who just wants to get out there and play attacking golf and he knew instinctively how to get the best out of me. [show more]
