— now he wants to help YOU!
“At the youthful age of 71, and after watching your videos, I have gone from driving 110 yards to now reaching 160-170 yards, and yep they are straight. Unbelievable. Thank you, you are a genius! It is one thing to know what to do, and it is something different to be able to teach it.”
~ Luke Manicaros - Queensland, Australia
Meet CJ Goecks, developer of the Perfect Connection Golf Swing…
As Director of Instruction at TPC Craig Ranch in Dallas, Texas, CJ has worked with golfers of all levels – from PGA and LPGA players like Nathan Green, Jaxon Brigman, Brittany Lang, Paul Stankowski, Taylor Leon, and Brenden Pappas…
…to serious amateurs ranging in age from their teens to 80+ years young.
Why do so many people come to CJ for help … and why do his students absolutely rave about him and his methods?
It’s because he has helped many students get the results they’re looking for!
And what he’s done for THEIR swings, he can now do for YOU.
…because in an effort to reach out and help even more of those amateur golfers who could benefit most from his teachings, CJ introduces you to…
Even Arnold Palmer’s former caddie, Professional Caddie Association Hall of Fame inductee, and long-time professional golf instructor, Scott Houston is excited about the PerfectConnection Golf Swing:
“I’m simply amazed at the results. Because of a bad back, I watched your training videos, and today I hit a bucket for the first time in three months. Every driver hit was either a draw or went straight, but what impressed me the most was the simplicity of turning and releasing the club (with the body – no arms and hands). I stayed connected thru-out, and your athletic set-up made ‘timing’ easier. So, I’m on board as an avid endorser and I’m glad I found you. Best wishes, and keep up the good work.”
~ Scott Houston
Now let’s hear what CJ himself has to say about this popular training program that’s already been snapped up by more than 30,000 golfers worldwide:
Hi, I’m CJ Goecks…
And I’d like to tell you a little of the story behind this new swing, so you can clearly see what sets it apart from the rest…
…and why most of my students go so quickly from struggling, frustrated, often ready to hang up their clubs … to becoming confident, consistent, excited ball-strikers.
“Results so far have been impressive! I was ready to hang it up but your program is so simple and easy to use, I am once again excited about playing. Thanks CJ.”
~ D. Miller
You see, I’m a certified Golf Biomechanist, trained by kinesiologist Paul Chek of the internationally famous CHEK Institute, and specializing in golf-specific conditioning and injury prevention.
So my goal is to understand every angle of what’s happening to your body, all through the swing … as well as the body’s strengths and weaknesses, and how it’s really MEANT to move – naturally!
I’ve spent time working with David Leadbetter, coaching at his Junior Academy in Bradenton, Florida … as well as being Master Instructor for Jim McLean.
My experience even runs internationally, having served as Instructor with the Northern Golf Federation in Mexico, and as a coach for the Uruguayan Golf Federation. This of course is all in addition to my professional and top amateur clients here in the USA.
And in my efforts to always be learning more about the golf swing, and how to make it better, I’ve consulted with PGA Tour doctor Troy van Heusen, and physical therapist Damon Goddard … as well as having studied a several amateur and pro golf swings, analyzing them from every angle using 3D motion capture technology by Motion Golf.
Yes, I’ve spent many years consulting, developing, analyzing … experimenting with numerous swing variations.
Here’s where YOU come in…
Then, in 2009, this all came together in a way that might interest YOU, when my business partner approached me about the many comments he was hearing from other golfers on the blog at Performax Golf, and the special challenges they faced. So many of them were experiencing flexibility problems, inconsistencies in their performance, lack of distance, hooks and slices…
And of course that recurring problem of injuries, aches, and pains in their hips, back, neck, shoulders, and elbows.
I feel a lot of these injuries could be the result of bad technique, probably by trying to model the typical “conventional” golf swing used by some of the pro’s – the ones who can afford to spend half their day training in the gym, and on the range.
My goal is to help the weekend amateur golfers develop a swing that would allow them to hit powerfully, consistently, and accurately … while still being body-friendly. (Let’s face it: most of us are not always in the greatest shape, and we have very little in common with the typical touring professional.)
Here’s the interesting thing though:
It took only a few simple adjustments…
The swing techniques I was already teaching my flexible young buck touring pros and top amateurs – including Nathan Green, who went on to capture the RBC Canadian Open – really wasn’t that far off from techniques and strategies I wanted to package up for my online students.
So I made some simple changes, and came up with a swing specifically tailored to the average weekend amateur golfer. Here’s what I did:
- First, I shortened the swing to 3/4 width because it’s just as powerful, yet easier on the body, and easier to repeat.
- Next came connecting the arms to the body, allowing the amateur to square the clubface using more of the body and larger muscles, resulting in greater distance and accuracy.
- And finally, I made sure the shoulders, hips, and knees were more aligned in what I call the Triple Stack posture to help reduce the injuries and strain I see so many golfers struggling with.
These simple tweaks, combined with other swing fundamentals and strategies I teach, gave birth to the Perfect Connection Golf Swing.
It’s all about “Connection”
Here’s a quick question for you: What was the most significant change Tiger Woods made to his swing, back in ’98?
Answer: By his own admission, it was the elimination of “timing”, and the synchronization of his upper and lower body – what he calls “staying connected”.
The Perfect Connection Golf Swing strives to connect the larger muscles to the smaller ones. I want to see you synchronize your upper and lower body as much as possible, into one smooth motion that is body-friendly, and easier to repeat again and again.
In fact, you may begin feeling the difference the very first time you use it. The Perfect Connection Golf Swing is packed with power, control, consistency, and “body-friendliness” … all in one easy-to-understand method!
“I bought your system last week and quickly added at least 10 yards, with more accuracy. Thanks!”
~ Jaihong Kwon
“Your Perfect Connection golf swing videos have changed my game from a novice to close to LPGA material. I am not kidding! A professional said to me that he has never seen so much ‘raw’ talent and I told him about Perfect Connection and he said, ‘Well, whatever you’re doing keep doing it because you are definitely going to be a par or under golfer in another year.’ Thank you, CJ”
~ Rev. Dr. Sharon Barley
“I’ve only been through the first 2 lessons, and I’m already starting to feel and see the difference!”

And if you’re part of that vast majority of golfers who suffer from intermittent to chronic golf- related pain in your back, neck, elbows, wrists, knees, hips, or hands…
Don’t go blaming it all on “age” or being “out of shape”.
More than likely, the cause is your bad technique & methods, itself – because it can often lead to causes tears and irritation in muscles, joints, and connective tissues! The good news is…
The PerfectConnection Golf Swing was designed to help reduce golf-related pain.
“I have spent many happy hours with your swing and presto – THE PAIN IS GONE.”
~ Darryl Thorne
“I injured my lower back 15 yrs ago and had thought my golf days were over. Since I bought your Perfect Connection golf lessons I am back to playing again. I have never hit the ball straighter than I am now. I hit 16 fairways, last 18 I played!”
~ Jerry McKee
“I started using this product last week, and played my first round with it Friday. I got up the next day and did not need to take any Tylenol or Advil. (That was a first, because I have a ruptured disc in my lower back) And I played really well, too. Thanks.”
~ Joe Rioux
Still, perhaps the greatest thing about this swing is the simplicity of it.
Don’t get me wrong…
This isn’t some magic wand you wave over your driver for instant 300-yard launches. It’s gonna take some effort and dedication on your part, to be sure. But if your dedicated to practicing my methods & strategies, you WILL see some improvements.
As golf great Lee Trevino says…
“You swing your best when you have the fewest things to think about”
See, I feel too many golfers try “FORCING” themselves into one “standardized” swing style – a one-size-fits-all golf swing.
So read below how the Perfect Connection Golf Swing allowed other golfers to get better RESULTS.
“Just want to say thanks. Bought the digital version on Wednesday, practiced Thursday, and on Friday went out and smashed my previous best score by 8 shots on my local nine hole course. Awesome!”
~ Martin Rigby
“Hey, your golf swing added 20 yards to my driver! It is amazing that just by making these few adjustments you can hit the ball more constantly and longer. Thanks, CJ – your program is amazing.”
~ Eduardo Davis
“I have now had your DVD’s for a few months. My whole game has improved, especially my chipping! I’m 74 years old, so it’s never too late!”
~ Mike Harris - Black Forest, Germany
The entire Perfect Connection Golf Swing program consists of 26 super-short, easy-to-follow lessons … including the various drills I give you.
Look, I’m not into all this “conspiracy”, like “Revealed at last – the one secret NO ONE wants you to know about your wrists.” I’m pretty sure more people would TELL you these things … if only they KNEW!
And I’m not going to “blow smoke” with threats of “I may pull these videos at any time…”
Heck, I want EVERYONE playing better golf for a lifetime – that’s why I’ve spent years of my life dedicated to helping other golfers! But…
I DO however want to encourage you to make the shift to a better game as soon as possible. So I have a few surprises for anyone who does. (And I’ll tell you about them in just a moment.)
Let’s cut through the usual hype
and just be totally honest here…
Look, my goal is to help golfers of all skill levels – even those who couldn’t break 100 if their lives depended on it – add yards to their drives, shave strokes off your score, and ensure you now have a repeatable body-friendly swing you can use for life!
But the truth is, I can’t honestly or accurately predict the exact results you can expect … because I don’t know how you’re golfing right now. In other words, without knowing where you ARE, I can’t say where you’ll GET, or when you’ll get there.
If your game is already powerful … with the kind of accuracy, distance, and consistency that would make most golfers drool with envy … then your gains are likely to be smaller and more slowly coming.
But, since a lot of amateurs that play golf, are utterly riddled with such inconsistencies and errors as poor grips, chicken-winging, and reverse tilting … bad habits that can cause those frustrating topped balls, slices, fat shots, inaccuracy, and inconsistency…
And because these are among the very things the PerfectConnection Golf Swing addresses…
The average golfer with practice can realistically expect noticeable improvements in these areas, (Again, as I said before … with some effort and dedication on your part.)
“I must say your PCGS is a very good system. I can now go to the range and hit balls for an hour or two without any pains afterwards. The video on reverse tilt really helped me to alleviate my back pain. Thanks!”
~ Doug
“Ha ha… CJ, you are just amazing! I am at the range right now, hitting my 7 iron. My first 12 balls went 150 yards, nice and easy up in the air. I remain much impressed with your coaching. Thanks a lot!”
~ Roberto Giannini
“Played second time using the basics from the PerfectConnection Golf Swing. Shot a 47 and a 44, which for me is great. My slice with the driver is almost gone! I am very pleased.”
~ Gary
“C.J, this Signature Series is the best gift I’ve ever bought myself! In only 7 games my handicap was cut by 4 strokes. You have given me a new enthusiasm for the game, thanks!”
~ Bernard Saffy - South Africa
“Hi, stumbled upon your website about a week ago. I watched your bunker shot advice, and used it the very next day. I played right out of the three bunkers I found that afternoon perfectly with no practice! Very easy advice to follow. Thank You!”
~ Joe Yeager

Golfing is now fun rather than frustrating and disappointing
“Thank you, thank you, THANK you! Early this year breaking 90 was a big goal. After hooking up with you and your lessons, tips and weekly help the last 10 rounds have been in the 70s. Golfing is now fun rather than frustrating and disappointing. Don’t know how to thank you enough for all you’re doing for us hackers. Keep up the great work!”
~ Glen Durall
“CJ, thanks to you my game has improved this year from a 105 to 80-90 and I can truly say I am looking forward to breaking 80. I forgot to mention that I am 71 years old!”
~ Fred Minor - New Jersey
“I’m a Doctor of Sports Science and a 5 handicapper. I’m really impressed with the clarity of your presentation, and your common sense approach to demystifying/debunking some of the great golfing myths/frustrations. Many thanks for creating a very practical and comprehensive program for better golf.”
~ Niall Lynch - Ireland
“Many thanks for your great Perfect Connection Golf Swing program. I’m 71 years old and have always had a problem with consistency but your program has helped me tremendously. I’m enjoying the game again and playing pain free. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
~ Bob Lucas
“The way I was swinging my club for so many years was really hurting my back. In fact, it got so bad my golf partners had to help me get my ball out of the hole each time. Seriously! I could only play one round, then I’d have to take a week off golf because of the pain. Now, this year, I have ZERO PAIN. And I’ve finally broken 80 for the first time ever, and lowered my handicap, thanks to CJ.”
~ Harty Tadlcok
I am driving it as far as I did in my 30′s & 40′s
“I was actually thinking about quitting as I seemed to be going backwards in my game the last 2 years. I am 61 years old and thought my game was only going to continue getting worse. I am so glad that I decided to give it one last try by purchasing your package this summer – and what a difference it has made to my game and my all around enjoyment playing again.
I am driving it as far as I did in my 30′s & 40′s, my iron game is better than it ever has been, and even my putting is better! Your Instructional Program is laid out very well and makes practice enjoyable. I am able to pick small areas of the game to work on at my own pace, which works better for me than crowding the whole game into a few local lessons. I enjoy your weekly mini clinics with tips on different aspects of the game and find them great refreshers and reminders. Thank you for renewing my interest and enthusiasm for this great game.”

I have a 15 year old son who has a beautiful swing, gets distance and has awesome swing speed, his problem is consistency will this help him without slowing his swing down or loosing him distance. He is about 275-280 off the tee righ tnow.
also alot of his shot of tee go immediately right, almost like his club is slightly open
Richard,
Thanks Richard for the question and I want to help. Are you pushing the ball to the right or is the ball starting right and then slicing. this will make a big difference in the help I give you. Please let me know and I will be glad to help you.
Keep em Long and Straight,
CJ
didn’t see the free video yet. Having a real problem with feeling whee my club is during my swing and syncronization. Get to the top of my swing and then I rip thru it, cant seem to mentally swing easy. Does your video help with the mental part of swinging easy with tempo
Steve Quale,
Thanks Steve for the question. My video will not give you mental tips about swinging easy. I think if you focused simply on smooooooth in the backswing or downswing and actually say it to yourself (out loud while practicing) you will be able to hear the fluctuation in your voice. Another swing tip would simply focus on balance at the end of your swing. I am not a big believer in tempo however since I believe if your swing is pretty good you won’t have to worry about timing. Hope this helps and let me know.
Keep em Long and Straight,
CJ
I get pain in my right sholder as well as my left hip and knee, from the force of my follow thru. What can you recommend to relieve this?
Many thanks, Don
Donald Bainer,
Thanks Donald for the question. You have three areas that are common for pain in the golf swing. There are too many things to list simply here on the blog. I fully recommend you get my signature series DVD and watch this DVD and see what you feel is different from your swing. You have nothing to lose with this DVD as I fully stand behind my products. Please Please for the sake of your body and the enjoyment of this game please get this DVD and work on your game.
Keep em Long and Straight,
CJ
Thanks for the free video golf lessons you are sending. I will have to consider your offer later. will look at your free lessons. Howard for GPS For Golf.
GPS for Golf,
Thanks Howard for your blog post. I hope you continue to enjoy the free tips and I hope they are helping you out a lot.

When am I going to get my 10 DVDs? Ordered 14/15 Jan s012.
I can’t access the free videos so I can evaluate your system before deciding to purchase it. I just keep getting this advertisement on each day lesson sent to me!!
thans kenny
In fairness to an earlier complaint about the inability to get the free 10 lessons, I want to compliment the organization for the quick follow through in correcting the problem and getting me the lessons.
I am a 70 year old who has played a lot of golf and have always been a single digit player. I am a sloppy 6.7 now because of the days when I get to the course with no tempo and perhaps a little stiff.
I have always experitmented with my swing. It is part of the joy of golf. I have tried many of the concepts we they were introduced.
“Square to Square”, “Stack and Tilt”, many others.
I am left handed naturally and play left handed.
When I played well, I was a fader of the ball, with the occasion draw when the shape of the hole or pin location demanded it.
In recent years I began drawing the ball more to get back and retain distance with the driver.
When I saw your ads, I was fascinated with the promise of painless golf and a better game.
I reviewed the first lesson on the grip and unless I have lost it, you seem to be recommended the club in the palm of the lead hand rather than in the palm of the back hand (left for a right hander). Unfortunatly the short clip did not give a good close up of the grip to enable me to see how the hands fit on the club.
I am anxious to give this a try as I examine all of the lessons.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to review this before I made the investment in the whole program.
Ken Maxwell
Ken Maxwell,
Thanks Ken for the question and I am glad we were able to help you recover the 10 free lessons. The customer support team does a great job and usually its a thankless job, but they really do try to help every person out. What I said is that the grip should be in the fingers of the forward hand and more in the palm of the back hand(right hand for righties). I think due to you being a lefty we somehow got confused in the translation to the lefty side. Sorry for the confusion and hope this clears up your question.

C.J. WOULD A DIFF.STYLE GRIP HURT THE WAY YOU TEACH THE PERFECT SWING.
I OWN THE BUSTER REVERSE TAPERED GOLF GRIP HAVEN’T PLAYED IN A LONG
TIME ARM & BACK SURGERYS.BUT I MIGHT START I HAVE ARTHRITIS IN MY HANDS SO I HAVE TO STICK TO MY GRIP.I’M ALLMOST 70
THANKS JACK JACQUES
OWNER BUSTERGRIPS.
Jack Jacques,
Thanks Jack for the blog post. No a reverse tapered grip would not hurt the way I teach. I have seen many pro’s build up the right hand so the grip was more matched and to be honest a skinnier left hand would help people get the grip more in the fingers of the left hand which is key. Hope this answers your question and I am going to google your company right now to check it out.
Keep em Long and Straight,

Hi CJ.
Do you advocate the use of a cross handed putting grip all the time or just for a practice drill
Ta
Gary from Australia
Gary Wright,
Thanks Gary for the question. I am indifferent on whether you use a cross-handed grip all the time. It really doesn’t matter. If you want to use it all the time then great. Cross handed seems simpler to keep the fundamentals correct for most people, but they seem to struggle on long putts with feel, but if it works for you then stick with it. When my daughter wants to learn to play golf I will teach her cross handed as this seems simple for kids to learn.

i just wanna know the perfect shot and the main point if this game.Besides,i would like to be a perfect talent individual.
Randy Joel,
Thanks Randy for the the blog post, but I am a bit confused to what you’re asking. The perfect golf shot is one that goes where you want it to go. Golf is about how good your misses are and not how good your good shots are. I think you may be expecting too much from yourself at this point. This game is such a great game because it is different every day and your mainly competing against yourself. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Keep em Long and Straight,
CJ
i am 77 and wold love to be able to hit a shot consistantly
Clifford Hewitt,
Thanks Clifford for the comment. To be consistent you must have good fundamentals. Please check your grip, posture, ball position and alignment and make sure they are correct and this will help.
Keep em Long and Straight,
CJ
thank you looking forward to get back on the coarse i am a diabetic but just learnt i have postrate problems not to worry i feel that your advice keeping shoulders and arms turning back and stop braking my wrists in a wider ark feels good at practice swing in the house feels good and the follow through diferent just have to get on the coarse and find out.just recieved the disc have to look at it yet but i feel confident thank you

do your customers in GB pay import tax
is the $67 all i whould pay
JIm Jones,
Thanks Jim for the question. the shipping is 39.95 outside the U.S. and this covers everything. If anyone in Great Britain has a different opinion then please let me know as this would be the first time I have heard of it. Hope this answers your question.

CJ wondering if you still use the taking up the wall method with your driver as you would the irons. Thanks
David Getsy,
Thanks David for the question. Understand that the Up the wall backswing is what I want, but it’s also a feeling. The driver due to the length of the club cannot be swung as upright as a wedge for example. I want you to work on your swing with a six or seven iron and then let it blend in with the rest of the clubs. The only difference is the setup with the driver with 60% of your weight on your right side and your spine slightly tilted to the right. Again don’t over think the driver as this is bad news. Hope this makes sense and answered your question and please if you have further questions please don’t hesitate to ask and we will work through it.

Hello CJ,
I am interested in buying, but is it possible to “unlearn” a nasty habit I’ve been sruggling with a long time from my game with this series of yours. My problem is “casting” or straightening too early, not retaining the +-90 degree angle between my left arm and the clubshaft on the downswing which gets me out of the shot too early and I believe costing me distance and other problems.
Thank you and kind regards.
Paul Malherbe,
Thanks Paul for the question. Rehab is 29 days which is what “they” say it takes to break a habit while it takes 21 days to create a habit. I don’t think it takes that long to fix your golf swing because you will be hitting many balls. Just remember that to fix your golf swing it will take a lot of practice swings and lots of slow swings and some with pauses at the top. It ultimately depends on what your trying to fix. Losing the lag in the downswing is kinda hard to fix, but remember that is not where your problem is. Your golf swing will have faults and then compensations. Losing the lag is the compensation. Check your body position as if your dipping or standing up then you will have to cast. Look at the DVD’s again and start with the fundamentals and then the moveaway. The golf swing is like a series of dominoes. If you start correct they fall perfectly. If you start incorrectly then they will fall poorly. Hope this makes sense and lets keep talking and I will be glad to help you.
Keep em Long and Straight,

I have ordered your bundle package which is yet to be delivered (expected 1/4/12). The reason I ordered was watching your 10 mini-lessons. After seeing only the first few and trying to incorperate them in to my game I saw a slight improvement in my game but a great improvement in my confidence. I “believe” that I will strike the ball cleanly and at the target. To my surprise it often happens. This with a couple of short videos, a couple of buckets, and a couple of rounds. My anticipation of the bundle is temendous. At 62 I don’t expect to hit 300 yard drives, but to cleanly advance the ball “tee to green” is every hackers dream. I will keep in touch with my progress.
Fresh Air And Gentle Winds, Jeff

Im struggling in almost all catagories of the golf game and I have some minor back pain. game is around a 90 right now. Should i buy the dvd’s or can i come get some hands on instruction?
Mitch Hoefar,
Thanks Mitch for the question. I am not sure where you live, but you are welcome to either buy the videos or come see me in Dallas. Obviously hands on instruction would be best. I would love to spend a day with you working on all areas of the game so let me know what works best for you. Please contact Damon at Damon@perfectconnectiongolfswing.com and he will be able to answer any questions you may have and will be able to arrange individual time with you and I. Talk to you soon.

Hi CJ,
I am confusing for chipping and pitching;
chipping is just turning the shoulder,pitching is half swing,are that right?
Bob,
Thanks Bob for the question. First the definition…a chip shot spends more time on the ground and less time in the air. Vice versa for a pitch. As far as technique there is a gray area so it might not be a turn, could be wrists. Tough question to answer, but have you seen my Short game DVD? In there I explain it a bit different and teach you how to control height and spin for pitches. I lay out exactly the black and white rules and even explain the gray area in between. Let me know if this helps or I can try to explain it different. Merry Christmas

Hi CJ.
I just wanted to leave you a quick update.
I bought the Signature Series bundle of instruction videos nine weeks ago.
Since then, I have won SIX TIMES the cost of the bundle because my game has improved so much.
My handicap has dropped, but the average Stableford score for my last three rounds is 39 – and I consider one of those to have been a bad round!
My next qualifying competition is next Wednesday, and it’s a nailed-on certainty my handicap will drop again then.
Most importantly, I now ENJOY my golf, whereas previously I ENDURED it.
Thanks again CJ – I appreciate it.
Steve Syder,
Thats awesome Steve. Keep up the great work! playing good golf is fun and I appreciate the time you took to let me know how your doing. Let me know if you have any questions. Best wishes.

CJ,
I do have one question; this time of year the sand in our bunkers is pretty wet and heavy. Is there anything I should do differently in these circumstances?
I have your bunker DVDs of course, but they don’t specifically mention wet sand.
Thanks,
Steve
Steve Syder,
Thanks Steve for the question about wet sand. this is covered in the video’s about bunkers but it is also referred to as hard sand. the key is to expect the ball to come out quicker than normal, but there are a couple of different setup changes. First grip the club tighter with the last three fingers of your left hand. this will keep the club from bouncing off the hard, wet sand. Second you want to place your weight a bit more left at setup and finally hinge your wrists a bit quicker in the backswing and this is all you need. Let me know if this helps.

CJ – I needed this tip twice on the course this morning – it worked like a dream both times!
Thanks again for your help.

I’ve been loosing 5 yds. a year since I was 65. I was 200 off the tee…. reasonably straight.
I’m left handed…
I play 3 tomes a week with the “boys”…
Sat.& Sunday’s are Guy and Gal days.
No physical problems… until this year.
Left wrist…
Unil I saw your comments I thought it was an “age” thing.. and my golf days are ending!
My problems:
Distance off the tee.
Left wrist getting “worse-er”.
Suggestions?
Golf Forever,

Barry Klein,
Thanks Barry for the question, but need some info as to whats going on. you say you need distance and your left wrist is hurting. It sounds like your dumping the lag and may be chicken winging the shot. Do you slice the ball? Please give me some info as to your misses and typical ball flight and I will be glad to help.

CJ:
I just discovered your URL and I’m getting ready to part with the $60 for the DVD’s. I’m really hoping this is the real deal.
I love golf. I grew up playing in Syracuse, NY. I broke 80 for the first time on a US Open Qualifying Course (Onodaga GCC) when I was 12. I then played varsity golf as a freshman in HS (14). I was playing in all the Junior events at that time and I couldn’t get enough of the game. In the summer between my freshman and sophomore year of HS something just “happened”. My body began to really hurt every time I played. NOTHING worked to alleviate what I was feeling. Some faults found their way into my swing as a result of me trying to compensate for the pain. Suddenly a game I REALLY loved became an absolute nightmare to play. I played 1 hole my sophomore year and walked off the course. I picked up a lacrosse stick and quit golf for over a decade.
I started playing again in my late 20′s because a lot of my clients liked playing (the golf/football crazed place called OHIO). It took a little bit of time and effort but suddenly I enjoyed the game again despite the pain. I shot 2 over for 9 and then my biggest triumph was a 75 in a Club Championship match (Mayfield GCC). That’s the good news. The bad news is the pain I felt as a teenager had returned only WAAAAY worse. It took multiple Miller Lites for me to get through a round. When I turned 32 my left ankle swelled up to the size of a freaking basketball. It turned out I had rheumatoid arthritis. The version I have hits me in the lower back and ankles. When I got this news I was once again real close to playing very consistent golf (7 handicap).
I once again quit for a decade. Ironically, I now compete in triathlons and cycling events pain free (actually feel better). Work once again forced me to pick up the sticks last week. I cringed. I played 18 at a good course last Friday and then a scramble Monday. I really made myself “manage” the course on Friday, i.e. play what I call “old man” golf or driver, wedge, wedge. I had 3 pars in the first four holes. I ended up shooting 90 on a cold windy day and tough course. I lost a bunch of money in a 6-6-6 format but I had the low round of the group and things were starting to “click”. Monday it took about 2-3 holes and everything came together like magic. Once again that’s the good news. When I got home Monday I felt as though someone was holding a torch to my sacroiliac joints. I could barely get out of the car. I was having a very difficult time getting out of the cart (MUCH better game for me walking).
The big bad news here is that I have the darned golf flu again. I was surfing youtube looking at swings to somehow find a “better mousetrap” and I came across this. I really love golf. I am quite worried that I won’t be able to adequately teach myself via DVD. You are in Texas, yes? Can I come down for a week of lessons after I digest the DVD material? I’m going to go ahead with the program but I am a somewhat “slow” book learner. Thanks and God Bless.

Jim,
Thanks Jim for the info and I am pleased you are getting back into the game. I guarantee you that the sun drill will help with your situation and soreness. You need to learn the proper body motion. Also take note of your setup of your right hip lower at address and this will make it easier. I would love for you to come see me in Dallas when you feel you are ready. Please contact damon at Damon@perfectconnectiongolfswing.com and he will set up the dates and can help you with travel arrangements if you need it. Best wishes.

Hi, my name is Daniel Goode. I had polio at 18 months old and have to wear a long leg brace on my left leg. It is a couple of inches shorter than the right. I have a 2inch build up on my left shoe. The rigid brace hinders my hips turning on my back swing. I can hit the ball straight but have no distance, and have a problem of lower body getting ahead too far in the downswing. Any ideas that would help?
Daniel Wayne Goode,
Thanks Daniel for the question. I want you to turn your left toe in about 45 degrees at address and make a few small slow swings to get the feeling of your lower body being restricted in the downswing. this will help keep your lower body from getting too far ahead. let me know if this helps.

I ordered and received the 3 disc signature series cds, I also wanted the driver CD. How much or little can I purchase the longer driving CD?
John Gay,
Thanks John for the question. Please email Damon@perfectconnectiongolfswing.com and let him know your situation and he will help you out. Best wishes.

Hi CJ,
Do you have a video in slow motion that shows you from address to window of opportunity? I think this is really a good video for all of us who learnt from your signature series.
Cheers.
Kenny Leow,
Thanks Kenny for the question. i know we shot some of these videos in slow motion for exactly this reason. I will talk to my tech guy and see if we can get it in the loop soon. Best wishes.

Watching the instruction videos and like what I see. Went to the practice range and was hitting the ball straighter. Is your swing similar to the stack and tilt or different ? Please explain. PS No backpain after a long session at the range !!
Dave R,
Thanks Dave for the question. My swing is not similar in any way to the STack and Tilt method. They teach to stay on the left side and to thrust your hips forward during the downswing towards the ball.

Hi CJ,
First thing first, I would like to thank you for your revolutionary approach to this golf swing. After watching your videos a couple of time, I’m now hitting the balls real straight like one straight line.
However, I have one question for you. I have been watching the top of the swing balance video. When you stand on the balance noodle to hit the ball, were your heels or toes touching the ground or they are not touching at all?
Cheers
Kenny Leow,
Thanks Kenny for the question. when standing on the noodle (remember be careful as this is hard). Your goal is to not have your heels or toes touching at all. You will only be able to make about a half swing or so depending on your balance. Let me know if this helps.
