About Golf Instruction Chicago

I have has been a student of golf instruction for many years. Studying the great instructors from the past such as Ernest Jones, Percy Boomer, and Alex Morrison. In recent years he has spent hours going over the teachings of Tom Tomasello, Homer Kelly, and John Jacobs. New instructors like Brian Manzella and Kelvin Miyahira have been studying the science of the swing, in hopes of teaching the golf swing to students. All these teachers have contributed to shaping my teachings.

The past 3 years there has been a shift in the way the golf swing is understood and taught. Theodore P. Jorgensen, The Physics of Golf, was one of many books and papers to show that the old ball flight laws were wrong. It’s now understood that the face at impact determines up to 85% of the direction the ball goes. Terms like zeroing out your D Plane have now made their way into golf instruction. 3D Radar machines like Trackman, and Flightscope have enabled instructors to view a student’s swing in ways that have never been realized before.

With all the technology that is out there it is still up to the student to learn to be able to teach themselves. With a coach explaining and demonstrating, the use of video, and understanding how the mind and body learn, the student will show improvement.
Its our goal to make you a better player by using the 3 core teachings we practice.

Golf Instruction Chicago teaching philosophy is based on 3 core beliefs.

1. Learn swing physics
   The premise that knowledge, rather than muscle memory, is the path to success and that a lack of success comes from incorrect understandings as opposed to lack of ability. 
2. Develop sound body mechanics
   Knowing how the muscles and joints work best to create an efficient and
   injury free golf swing.
3. Train your brain to learn.
   The mind learns best in a playful environment. Studies show that its better to teach yourself. This is done by us guiding you through a process we call D.O.C.  Do it, Observe it, Correct it

 Lloyd and Danielle Mann have been collaborating for the past year in order to best teach and explain the mechanics of the golf swing.  Danielle has enjoyed sharing her expertise in kinesiology, anatomy, and biomechanics in order to enhance, demonstrate, and maximize the golf swing for novice and advance golfers. 

Danielle Mann completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign.  Danielle received a bachelors of science with high honors in Kinesiology and Movement Sciences in 2004.  Following her undergraduate work, Danielle received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Northwestern University in December 2006.  Since that time, Danielle has been working as a level III Physical therapist in Chicago.  Danielle treats a wide variety of patient diagnoses including:  traumatic brain injury, stroke, joint replacements, spinal cord injury, multiple traumas, Parkinson's disease, and Multiple Sclerosis.  Danielle recently received the Strategic Alliance Award from the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago for her excellence in clinical care.
