Shawn, one of these days I’m going write you a long letter about how personally impactful your teaching has been. Not just about golf for me personally, but for my kids and the future, and the bright prospect of enjoying transferring the love of the game to them for many years to come.
But for now, I just wanted to share the incredible revelation that intermediate point focus has been. My chipping practice this morning was off the charts good. Simply allowing my brain and biomechanical machinery to recompute as necessary to execute the task resulted in tremendous satisfaction and great results. Thank you so much!
Also, I discovered that the “flat ball” makes an amazing intermediate point. In flight school, you talk about how long the sole of the club glides along the surface of the ground. It’s really surprising and exhilarating to experience it. These make the perfect intermediate point object you can actually strike!

Shawn,
Something clicked in my practice today and it brought me back here
I took 10 shots, grading myself 1-10 of being able to see the blur of my club through impact and seeing it arc back around on the lead side.
My only job was to watch the swing. The correlation to well struck shots to a higher level of awareness of the club. If my only job was to watch the club hit the ball, and I deeply commit to that (just seeing it happen), the better I actually saw impact and post impact, the better the strike was
I’ve always lost the blur in my full swing, I see it fine in my practice swings. Then I never see the club in the swing (full, chip or putt)
I got one of those putting thing training aids as well. Did some putting drills. On a setting where my best score was a clean 11/20 I got 17/20 today. Super cool, a lot of what you say makes so much more sense now.
I may not have been positional, but I was consciously thinking of using my legs, or getting out of the way etc. But if I can swear on my mothers life that I just witnessed the blur club go through the ball and out towards the target, then it’s a successful swing form now.
The wisdom gets deeper! 🔥👌💪👊
Shawn! Went to the range today and really focused on task, intermediate target, and momentum. It has clicked! Truly thankful for your teaching. It makes so much sense. And… it is so nice not focusing on body positions, swing thoughts…etc. Thank you Shawn!
Nice! Love it! Let’s continue to polish and have fun taking it to the course! 😀👍
Shawn, whether it is shaving grass clippings or cutting a dandelion stem or sending wood shavings to target, is it only for beginners and intermediate level player for understanding the concept of target and through the ball? Or is its something you or Sav or an advanced player keep in mind for every shot that you play? In other words is that how one has to think from hence forth on every single shot on the course?
What you will realize is all these tasks provide the senses with the PREDICTED EXPERIENCE before it happens; every time I step into a shot, I already feel the kind of turf and ground interaction I will have to deliver the shot with because of all these experiences with these tasks. Some shots are squeeze through doorframe under the wind; some are whip the grass clippings into the wind; some are saw through stem of dandelion in that direction; you develop a nice portfolio to allow you to make the clearest of predictions so THAT THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO ALLOW MOMENTUM TO PERFORM THE TASK, which will engage the kinetic chain and deliver your shots for you.
Shawn, This is fascinating and also probably my biggest problem. Every time I submit a video, I struggle to think of what my task was. I often try to force the task into all my swing thoughts. It’s ironic because task is how I learned how to ski e.g. my friend said, “Think of trying to skid a bike.” and wham, I was able to slalim and stop. Unfortunately, my engineer brain kicks in with the thousands of hours of technique videos. Maybe someday I’ll be able to trust it…
Thanks for everything,
Ron
FINALLY!! The realization we were looking for!! 😝😝
all the technique has to allow you to perform the simple task you prefer; so next video analysis, I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT WHICH TASK IS BEING USED and then I can see what fits and what does not! Delightful!
