Longest Driver in the Foursome
In 2006, I took a One Day Golf School from Natural Golf Certified Instructor Len Martin in Sarasota. Prior to the class I couldn’t break 100. Within a few rounds I was shooting in the low 90’s and high 80’s. I lost about 10 yards in distance but was in play more and scoring better.
I didn’t touch a club for a month and was back in the 100’s. I called Len for a 45 minute refresher lesson. He straightened out my swing then we worked on adding distance. Specifically, he reminded me to tilt my hips toward the target so that would put my head behind the ball. In my last round, I concentrated on doing that. I went from being the shortest driver in my foursome to the longest! Our 18th hole is a 516 yard par five. I hit a great drive and 3-wood and was on the green pin high. I sank the 10 foot putt for an eagle! Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be able to reach a 500 yard par five in 2! I am enjoying the game much more thanks to Natural Golf.

Top Grade Instruction is Key
I have been playing golf for 43 years. Like many golfers I have developed back problems and was forced to give up golf two years ago.
I missed my golf game terribly so when I saw the advertisement to learn the Natural Golf Single Plane Swing, I felt a spark of hope.
Both my wife and I attended lessons. We were so impressed by your Natural Golf Instructor in Sarasota that we have now attended three of his classes. He has kept the lessons very basic and easy to follow. He has also taken me one step further to HITTING THE BALL. Over the years I have taken lessons however none of the instructors actually zoned in on the actual hitting the ball the way he has. Therefore, using the Natural Golf method along with getting to HIT the ball, I am thrilled to return to the game! Many thanks.

New Irons Fuel Big Outcome
I have been playing Natural Golf for a number of years and I had purchased the Natural Golf Callaways when they came out several years ago. Your NGCI Bill Gaines has been instrumental in getting my Natural Golf swing back on track in recent years.
At Bill’s suggestion I had him measure me for a set of custom made Natural Golf ST110 irons. I swung the demo clubs and also tried out his personal set of ST110 irons, but on a driving range it was hard to determine if I was hitting the ball any further. The irons did swing sweet so I went ahead and “took the leap.”
When my new ST110 irons arrived I went straight to the golf course and went to various holes that required the most accurate iron approach shots, i.e. greens with bunkers in front, iron shots of 140-150 yards over water to an elevated green, etc. To my delight and amazement these new graphite ST110 irons hit straight as an arrow and I was able to attack the ball without fading or hooking my shot.
I found myself swinging effortlessly and the ball literally jumped off the face of the club. While the new clubs have graphite shafts Bill designed them to have enough swing weight so I could feel the club head, and that makes a huge difference with regard to timing and rhythm. The joy of using them is in the customization. Natural Golf made them just perfect for me and my swing.
My first round of golf with my new ST110 irons was nothing short of fantastic. I birdied the first hole with the 56° Beryllium sand wedge from 85 yards out to two feet from the pin. I would have to say that I’ve never hit irons so consistently in a round of golf in my entire life.
I am currently a 13 handicap and I know with the added distance and accuracy of the ST110 irons I can look forward to reducing my handicap this summer. Thank you Bill Gaines and thank you Natural Golf.

Video E-tip Brings Amazing Results
I have been chewing on the video you sent via email this month with Ken explaining the difference between a swing and a piston motion. This is, in my estimation, a brilliant observation and explanation to me of why I am continually over the top with my swing. I tried this one yesterday on the final hole after work.
The results were amazing. I drove to the fringe of a 330 yard par 4, right down the middle. I don’t know who was more surprised, my golf buddies or me.
You asked for input as to future items to include in your magazines and newsletters and I would like to see more video explanation as I seem to understand the written instructions better when the visual is observed as well.
