PROOF That Golf Swing
Control Works…
Shaved Off 12 strokes in 6 Days……
“Tracy,
I don’t even know where to start. I sent off for your manual Monday night the 9th, got home Thursday from work and there it was. I started to read it when I went to bed that night and by midnight, I was out in the front yard swinging the club. Your setup routine really got a grip of me from the start.
I have been playing golf for a long while and the best I have shot is an 88 from the championship tees. My norm is about 90 – 93. Well, I got a phone call this morning at 8am (Sunday 15th) from one of the guys I play with. He said, “I have 2 tee times at 9:30 do you want to play?”
Well sure I did. I got to the course and the other guys are all low handicaps. They all asked what the bet was as we went to the first tee, and as norm its $20 a man winner takes all. I tried to get out of the bet as I’m working on my game, but all I got was a whole lot of boos, so I said ok, I’m in.
Well, from the first tee I never looked back. Your setup routine, along with the dynamic balance put me in a whole new zone. I was hitting my driver 260+ and picking the line I wanted every time. I hit one drive into the green side bunker, 337 yards, (a slight pull left) but the thing that stands out the most for my game was the visualization.
It put the ball where I wanted it all day long. I was playing off a 19 handicap and one of the guys with me was playing off 7. Well, I shot a 78, and so did he. I creamed them all….no one else came close.
Jamie, the 7 handicap asked me at the end, “How did you turn it around like that! You really gave me a game there!”
I said its only going to get better from here, and the best thing of all is…..I’m only on page 56 of the manual and I still have the ball I started with on the first tee!
Thanks for letting me enjoy my game again,

Bill won The Kentucky State Seniors his first time out…..
Tracy,
What can I say? When I started your program, I was inconsistent to say the least but had a goal to reach 3 handicap from a 5. My last 6 scores are 72 from the tips (7000 yard course), 72, 74 with a triple bogey (dumb mental mistake), 69 and 70.
My index is now 2.7 and I have more confidence that I am going down even more, possibly scratch. Every aspect from driving, iron play, chipping, putting and bunker play has improved immeasurably.
This is getting fun again and I am 57 years old. I have never driven the ball as far as I am now. I am 5’8″ and 155 lbs and out-drive my playing competitors who are much, much bigger than me. They can’t believe what they see but are getting use to it.
Thanks so much for your efforts as I am having the ball of my life.

15 Year Old Breaks 80 in Tournament after 4 days…
Tracy,
I’m 15 years old and golf every single day. Occasionally I would fire some rounds in the low 70s, but during tournaments I could never break 80.
I first read your information about a week ago and the first day I tried your setup routine. I was hitting the ball awesome, consistently.
From that day I had 4 days to prepare for my tournament. All 4 days of practice I shot in the mid to low 70s. Then the real test came. The first day of the tournament I played great. I hit 13 greens, missed only 2 fairways, and was averaging about 270 per drive. My driving distance went up about 50 yards and I hit 8 more greens than my average. I shot a 77 missing 4 birdies inside ten feet, 3 3-putts, and 3 missed 3-footers. I could have easily shot under par.
The second day I putted a little better and struck the ball about the same. I shot a 74 missing 3 3-footers and won my tournament by 7 strokes. I had finally broke 80 in a tournament.
Thanks for helping me win a trophy and a $320 gift certificate to the pro shop!

“Dropped from an 18 handicap, struggling to catch a par now and then… to scratch golf.”
Tracy,
At the end of the golf season last fall, shooting sub par was as easy as walking down the street to get a beer (this IS Milwaukee).
I played no less than 5 rounds a week for three weeks right before it turned cold (a guy has to have his priorities in order). Each time I played during that streak, I was below par by anywhere from two to three strokes (depending on the course). I didn’t lose a single golf ball for the entire run.
My shot was so smooth and so effortless that I tried hitting over a water obstacle to shorten a long par 5 one day. That very same hole previously cost me three golf balls and six strokes over three separate rounds this past spring.
The tee shot for that hole has to be no less than 320 yards (a conservative estimate). There’s not many golfers that haven’t tried and failed to overcome the water on that hole. I can still feel the shot because it was like nothing I’ve ever felt before. An easy as pie swing that was as smooth as glass. When the ball left I thought I could hear it sizzle. When it landed and finished its roll out, I was WAY out past the water sitting in the fairway about 60 yards from the green looking at an eagle approach (yes sir, I eagled THAT hole).
It gets better…the last round I played before everything closed down for the winter was up at Fire Ridge (North of Milwaukee). I played in the short grass the entire round. Killed another eagle and put down five birdies. Best of all, no bogey holes for the entire round (that’s seven under par). The longest putt I had was a 30 footer, uphill, against the grain on 15 and I drained it like a sink.
My score at the end of the round was 65. That 18 hole score was better than my all time best 66, 22 years ago and this was a tougher course.
I know that you get letters all the time telling you how much of an improvement your golf philosophy makes in someone’s game. Just wanted you to know that what you have taken the time to share with us hacks out here works as advertised.
Your philosophy works like nothing else I’ve ever tried or read about and I am just glad you took the time to share it with the rest of us. That is what’s important in all this.
Looking forward to hot weather, fast greens,

Playing the longest golf of my life…..
Hi Tracy,
The Golf Swing Control manual has been a revelation to my golf game. I am a 15.8 index but not for long. I am hitting the ball off the tee 50 yards further than I ever have in my life and my irons are now 10-15 yards longer.
The funny part is that I am 63 and playing the longest golf of my life.
I am now hitting my drives 280+ and in the fairway. My length is now allowing me to hit 9s and PWs rather than 5 or 6s.
Well that is it from Northern Illinois. The weather is finally getting warm after a miserable winter and it is time to lower my index to single digits.
Thanks for connecting to my brain,

“I am making shots like never before. I went from 220-250 off of the tee to 270-290 almost religiously. I cracked one 329 the other day as well (although it was down hill). My iron play has dramatically changed as well; on target and a lot longer.
I thought I was a good player before this but now I realize there is much more out there.”
Thank you,

Better in 15 minutes….
Tracy,
……I hit balls today and used the setup technique on the website.
All I can say is WOW!
I was hitting the ball consistently on the sweet spot and hitting really nice golf shots. I used some Titleist club fitting stickers my club has and that is how I was noticing how pure I was striking the ball. I could also feel when it wasn’t right and when a shot didn’t go where I had intended, I could feel why.
Just on that alone I offer my thanks.

Gave his first lesson after only four days……
Tracy,
I wanted to pass on a GREAT story that happened to me today at the range.
I was going through my routine, hitting some good shots, and the person next to me was receiving an hour of instruction. He wasn’t getting anywhere, and to be real honest the instruction wasn’t very good.
Well, when I’d glance over and watch this guy swing I could SEE his right foot rolling over and his right knee straightening and going to the right and then I could SEE his weight dramatically shift to outside his left foot and his left knee would swing out.
His instructor outfitted him with some weird contraption and told him to swing it back because, “he had to build muscle memory.” When he did this, you could still SEE his balance way off.
Basically, the instructor was saying EVERYTHING that you don’t! It was sadly comical. The instruction was going nowhere.
You could tell the poor sap was frustrated (I know I’ve been there).
So his instruction finishes and he decides he’s going to hit another bucket to work on it all . He turns to me and says, “I see you hit the ball pretty well, do you notice anything?” (I promise this story is real) I say, suppressing laughter because a mere four days ago I was in the same boat as this guy, “Why don’t you try this…….”
To nobody’s surprise but this guy’s, he sends a beautiful 8-iron shot high in the air and straight. I then proceeded to tell him my story about how your’s is the greatest golf instruction I’ve ever received and 4 days ago my shots were uglier than his and I gave him the web site address. Now he’s hitting some good looking golf shots.
Now here’s the kicker…he pulls out his wallet and offers ME $70 and says, “I just paid that bastard in there $70 and he didn’t do a damn thing so I might as well pay it to somebody that helped!” I politely refused and told him to visit your site.
If going from a hack to a “golf instructor” in 4-days isn’t the best testimony to your instruction, then I don’t know what is!!!
Thanks again!

The Best Hole of My Short Golfing Life…
Hello Tracy,
I was wowed today. I didn’t start reading your manual yet, just brushed the first few pages, but I remember what you said about the feet and feeling.
I was practicing at my local driving range and one of my teachers (this guy gave me one 30 minutes lesson once) was going to the course with another guy. It’s a 9 holes course, all Par 3. Anyway, I was just warming up and he turned to me and said, “Jo, come play with us.” I had just arrived and made probably less then 10 warm up shots with my 8 iron. At first I said no, but he persisted so I went off with them.
Thank you so much for these routines. I didn’t slice a single shot today.
I was wowed at a 145 meters PAR 3 hole, when I hit my 6 Iron against a strong wind and the ball landed on the green and stopped immediately, digging a small hole in it. I scored 3 strokes on that hole and my teacher scored 4. He looked at me and said, “You’re handicap 28 my a$$!”.
This was already the best hole of my short golf life. You cannot imagine the wind! I finished an amazing +7, my teacher +2, and the other guy, handicap 15 finished +12!
Your manual is my bible! Thank you so much for this REALLY impressive and valuable info.

Back to Back Club Championships…
Hi Tracy,
I am a golfer playing off a 3 handicap who plays on average once every 5 weeks, so it sometimes difficult to maintain the handicap. However, I regularly get comments from my fellow peers asking how I maintain a good strike/control whilst playing minimal golf.
I have read many books over the years, and all have been of benefit, but I think the way you have explained the effectiveness of the swing is simple and easy to digest.
I now enjoy my golf more than ever, having developed a mental attitude that used to come as second nature when I was playing a lot of amateur golf in my younger days.
The benefits have been forthcoming, winning back to back club championships (at my local course) and the handicap match play title in the same year.
I used to play golf with Phil Price at junior level (European PGA pro) back in the 80′s and almost feel that I could now give him a run for his money!

The Secret of the golf swing….
….I have attended Mclean in NYC, Leadbetter in South Carolina, Gravity Golf in Florida, Golf Tek in Atlanta and Pennick in Austin and gone to that golf camp in Tampa that teaches you on their course for not one, but two weeks.
I have read Pennick, Hogan, Mclean, Leadbetter, Woods, and Faldo’s books. I have watched the Golf Channel religiously.I subscribe to both Golf Mag and Golf Digest.
The point I am making is that I searched the entire golf instruction industry for the answer to the question that you gave me in a paragraph .
Until you, no one else could give me the simple movement solution you did and I obviously could not “find” it on my own….
You made something that has eluded me, and any instructor who has ever evaluated me, come together in an instant.
Maybe I was on the verge of a “breakthrough”, but it wouldn’t have happened without your insight.

“Tracy,
I put my reputation on the line Saturday and decided that the first thing that I would address with each pupil at the clinic was their balance throughout the swing.
Normally, the first thing I address is their grip, then stance, then posture, etc…
I must admit that they got results quicker using the dynamic balance approach than I get normally.
And the magnitude of the improvement was such that they were amazed at their shot consistency.
While the other fundamentals are still very important to the golf swing, and I will never abandon them. I will be using your techniques with all my students from now on.”

Shot an opening round 65 to win his Club Championship just 2 weeks after starting Golf Swing Control…..
Hi Tracy,
I am a delighted customer….
I spent more time with my setup routine and visualization techniques than anything else. But what you managed to teach me in the course of a few days over the Internet is simply amazing!
I couldn’t quite figure out why I wasn’t getting that “spank the back of the ball” feeling with my driver and that little draw that comes from a well-struck inside-out swing. Well, it’s back. And if I lose it on the course, I can make and feel the adjustments to get back on track.
Thanks for everything.

Excited in Ireland…..
“Hi Tracy,
Just a quick update on where my game is.
For the past 10 weeks, I am getting much more consistent and am regularly playing to my handicap of 13. However the last 2 rounds have been very special.
I shot 7 over 79 gross on a course I never played before. This included two bad double bogeys on 9 and 18. Then last Sunday, I shot 36 points for 15 holes in the club winter comp, with no score on the 1st hole. I played 2 to 11 in 2 under par!
Thanks for all the help. I can’t wait for the new season to start next March.”

The ball exploded off the clubface…
“Tracy,
I have read the books of every major instructor in the country. I have also taken lessons from some of the top teachers notably Harmon and Ballard. As a solid 7 handicap, using your book finally helped me break through.
I have had your book 2 days and I already have grasped it and can do it.
It came faster for me because some of the stuff is what Jimmy Ballard showed me, which is great stuff. The problem I had with Jimmy was that I could hit it straight but not long. Now I know why…..
I went to the driving range and did what you said and the ball exploded off the club face. I have many friends on the PGA tour and have played rounds with many of them. So I know what “tour” shots look like. I personally have hit many great shots, but your method has me knocking the fire out of the ball every single time. My old swing focused on guiding the hands to the right position at impact. With your method the golf ball is gone so fast I could not do that if I tried.
I just wanted to say thank you and I will be telling my friends about your book.
Thank you for everything.”

Dropped 11 strokes after a 6 year layoff from golf…..
“Tracy,
Great Book. The 1st time I tried it, I shot 86 which was 11-12 strokes under what I’ve been shooting recently since I re-started playing after laying off 6 yrs…..Then a 90 and then only 7 over on 9 holes.
What I find SO GREAT is that the power generated is unbelievable and again like you said… after the magic move… the swing is over so quickly with astonishing results and WITH NO EFFORT AT ALL. I cannot believe how easily I am hitting all my clubs and with EFFORTLESS POWER.
No more hitting buckets of balls to keep my swing…just those swing exercises you recommend and a couple times at the range. That is the reason I am happy. I don’t have to struggle with this game and I can still be a decent player without having to play so often. ”

Helping golfers to “see” better?
…After receiving your Golf Swing Control Course, I did as you advised and read through it without doing the drills. Since reading it I have played two rounds on two of the most difficult par three courses where I live. One course is long by design and the other, due to the wind Gods.
Thanks to the Golf Swing Control Course I shot a 32 and a 33, (5 and 6 over par) concentrating on nothing but balance. My pitching and chipping have improved dramatically, but more impressive to me is how confident I feel standing over a shot.
What my score does not indicate is the fact that I am legally blind and have played golf for only a year.
I play with a coach who lines me up on the tee and advises me on wind, hole placement and any other matters of importance. She lines up my putts after I have walked them for distance. I mention this because my coach was not available for the two rounds I spoke of earlier. I played with two neighbors who have been golfing for three months and neither had ever helped me play.
But, the fact is without your Course I would never have had the confidence to feel comfortable playing without my golf coach.

Skeptical, but to my surprise…
“Tracy,
I would just like to let you know how big an impact your newsletters have made with my game.
I have read a few of the more important books, Nicklaus, Penick, etc. I have watched the golf channel. I tried the video of “Shootin’ Straight” etc. And I have taken some video lessons.
None of these were worthless. They have all helped me in shaping my understanding, but your newsletters finally clicked in place some important answers to questions I could not find the answers to.
I quickly focused on your discussion of balance. That makes perfect sense. The “tray” analogy fixed some backswing flaws. Those two concepts alone added accuracy to my iron shots and 20 yards in length to every club.
I read with skepticism your discussion of focus on where you want to place the ball, by looking at the target and placing your feet appropriately. I’m a very logical person and I had tremendous reservations.
To my surprise, I attempted this while putting and have noticed a drastic improvement. It works with severe breaks and I have avoided leaving the ball short. I applied it to chipping and now irons.
I applied these 3 concepts in about 3 days practice, and now I play with tremendous confidence. I know it can only get better. I am breaking 100 and flirting with playing in the low 90′s and truly believe that I can break 90 as well someday soon. ”

Long and On Target Iron Player…
“Tracy,
The newsletters you sent helped my iron game more than any other training book I’ve read. (many $’s worth).
You see all kinds of ways advertised to improve, but none come close to what I’ve picked up from your lessons. So simple to execute instructions.
Thanks for making a long and on target iron player out of me. Keep up the great advise & I’m looking forward to future golf improvements thru your lessons.”

Remarkable Improvement…
“Tracy,
Just wanted to update you on my continued improvement. When I first began reading your articles I shot a 108 that weekend.
I’ve shown remarkable improvement over the last seven rounds, beyond even what I thought possible in only my second season of play.
After two rounds I began posting scores in the mid- nineties and then continued into the low-nineties.
Yesterday, in my eighth round since practicing what you teach in your newsletters, I shot an unbelievable 83!!!
I just wanted to thank you again it’s truly remarkable what you have done for my game! It makes playing every weekend even that more enjoyable!”

Improved more in 3 weeks than I could have imagined…
Tracy,
I have discussed your newsletters with many friends since I received it. It not only helps you with what your supposed to do during your swing but tells you why.
I have read 3 newsletters so far and honestly my swing and setup with my irons and has improved more in three weeks than I could of imagined.
My score on the course has dropped by 12 to 14 strokes, I am actually hitting right below 100 and I have only been playing 3 months.
Thanks for all of this info and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the newsletters.

I put six in for birdie…
Tracy,
Thanks. Your advice has totally changed my approach to the game. I have only been playing since 1998 and was taught very mechanically. Ever since, I look for a mechanical approach to everything. The idea of gripping the club where it felt “comfortable” seemed nuts. So I tried it today.
I went to the driving range and tried my normal swing, setting everything very mechanically. If you were to look at me, it would appear right out of Golf Digest. But about 2 out of 5 shots went wild.
So…..I took a deep breath, stepped behind the ball, took a couple of practice swings and then stepped up to the ball. I did not even look at setting anything, and just set my hands on the club where the felt real comfortable. I went through the rest of your routine in Chapter 3 as I always do. I went through a slow backswing and then swung. The ball flew off the tee, straight as an arrow, lots further than I normally hit. I finished the bucket with the much same results.
I then stepped over to a practice hole, which was deserted. It was late in the day. I took 11 balls and hit all 11 dead center of the fairway, all of them in about a 30 foot circle, about 230 yards out. I never once looked at setting anything mechanically, just stepped up and hit it when it felt good. And man did it feel good. I have never felt that before. My second shot at 172 yards: I estimate that I put 9 balls on the green, one over and one to the side. I put six in for birdie, four for par and one lip out bogie.
Questions? I have no further questions!
Walking to the car I began to think about the movie Bagger Vance and what Bagger kept telling Junah. “Find your authentic swing.” I did not understand what he was talking about then and considered it Hollywood yak yak. Today I finally understand. With your help, I finally….finally, found my authentic swing….It was there all along!
Thank you,
Bob Gaskin
