703: Surveys show that 60% of all golfers are over 50, yet golf instruction focuses on the power and flexibility of young people. Brian Sparks like Bobby Jones believes that “the whole body is involved” in the golf swing, not just your arms, hips, wrists, etc. Brian has been helping golfers in the UK and France for decades and sees a huge difference from “teaching” (at people) vs “coaching” (for people). From that he’s developed a philosophy that’s evolved from Positive Impact Golf (https://easiestswing.com/our-products/) to Easiest Swing Golf (easiestswing.com).
