Swing philosophy: Forget gimmicky teaching methods that come and go, quick fixes that go wrong during your round. Instead, imagine yourself with a simple, easily repeatable fundamentally sound swing that will allow you to hit consistently good shots every time you walk onto the course.The Mark Wallace “ Master Key Fundamental Swing System”, which has been developed by Mark over 24 years of professional tournament and teaching experience, combines simple easy to understand master key fundamentals, specific feel drills and strong mental imagery. This in turn makes the learning process enjoyable, and of course gives you the best possible foundation to build on, and take your game to the Next Level.
The Short Game: This part of the game is 65% of any golfer’s scoring, so Mark’s teaching puts much emphasis on his pupils learning the right way to up and down from around the greens.
The Inner Game: As an ex-tournament player Mark fully understands that a positive mental attitude is the only way a golfer will improve his or her game, therefore learning in a positive, relaxed atmosphere and using specific drills will enable his pupils to take their best game onto the course.
