Discovering the Art and Philosophy Behind Elite Golf Coaching with John Dunigan and Justin Tang

Send us a Text Message.Ever wondered how to simplify the complexities of golf and strive for improvement with every swing? Look no further! We sat down with PGA master instructor, John Dunigan, and had an enlightening conversation about the art of golf coaching. John, known for his unparalleled ability to break down intricate golf concepts into digestible lessons, shares insights on club face control, technology in teaching, and the pivotal role of mental preparation in the sport. Then, we delved deep into the philosophy behind golf coaching, primarily focusing on the importance of knowing "what to do" versus "how to do it." As John narrates his transition from a tour player to a top-notch teacher, we get a sense of his dedication to continuous learning in the field of golf. We also reflected on some of our own experiences, learning the hard way that forcing students into positions that their bodies can't execute is not beneficial. Our mentor, Mike Adams, and his bio swing dynamic approach greatly influenced our coaching methods. Lastly, we ventured into the realm of motor learning and effective golf coaching. We discovered the value of a guided discovery approach and how understanding how people learn can significantly impact the teaching process. We also touched upon the importance of reactive neuromuscular training and proprioceptive priming. Wrapping up, we presented the concept of the Skill Coaching Alliance, a robust network of coaches committed to learning and improvement.
