I recently booked a lesson with a LPGA

Hall of Fame and PGA Member Kay McMahon at Mission Inn Resort and Club in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida. At first, her “Golf 8.5” approach, seemed like I had opened the door to an Arthur Murray Dance Studio… 1-23-4 – 1-2 and 3-4, but very quickly after experiencing what those simple steps represented, it felt very comfortable, and we were set to continue. Kay explained her goals in helping me. 1. Make it simple. 2. De-clutter the “6-inch” attic between my ears. 3. Rethink the way golf is taught. 4. Teach me to how to self-correct instead of self-destruct. And 5. Finally to know where the “Zone” is and how to use it to my advantage, to have Fun.

We went through a very comprehensive, yet simple book to

The Golf 8.5 PlayBook - Reference guide in everyday language to re-enforce my learning

A True eduKaytion for Your Golf Swing

refer back to while I was practicing alone so that I could understand what I should be doing. After a quick video of my “before” swing that Kay had to work with, it was off to transform my swing for the future, with no complicated thoughts! Just 1-2-3-4 – 1-2 and 3-4 and watch the ball fly with a smile on my face.

The first four steps are preparation or set-up for each shot… called G-CAP. Grip – Club head – Alignment – and Posture which happens automatically. Imagine that! The second four and 1/2 (or 4.5) steps are the swing itself. #1 - The takeaway or her new term - the “turn away” or often referred to as the 9 o’clock position of the backswing. #2 - To the top position in the swing. #2.5 - “The Half” is like an elevator using gravity to get to #3 – over the happy face which is the target line… and then #4 is the finish or the double “L’s”. And there is no such thing as weight transfer… it’s don’t forget to check the run in your nylon. Okay… You’ll have to experience that one for yourself to understand, but it works!

This was such a positive day for my golf game. My long time golfer husband… kept assuring me… this is a great way to learn and kept reinforcing everything Kay had said as he watched on in great amazement. Then Kay had to set Greg straight about giving any Golf Central • Volume 22, Issue 9

Don’t look back there… but what position would you be in to check for a run in your nylon? Yes… the perfect balanced finish position

“advice”. “There are only 3 things he can say to me – Beverly. ‘No…’ I’m not in the right position and to start again. ‘Yes…’ which means the right position and continue to the next position in making the swing. And… ‘Nice Shot Honey!” After a short pause… I heard him mumble, “Yes … I’ve got it!

After watching my new swing to my old swing comparison video… Believe me… my game set-up and swing improved tremendously within the short time frame of this very first lesson. No more “Penguin” steps to my set-up or all that time standing over the ball with those thousand things roaming about in my head. Everything

The point where you see the smile on my face! is truly blending together and easier.

I now understand the Golf 8.5 approach and recommend Kay to anyone that is just starting out – Male or Female – to get right with the game… or anyone that truly wants to advance their golf game to the next level. Kay is that good from the beginner to the experienced!

Kay is always on the road, teaching this positive simple approach. She is also available for outings and corporate events. This is how we heard about Kay, and I just knew that there was something special about her and her approach. I really did receive an eduKaytion.com. The point where you see the Smile on my face!

It’s not about “light pressure”... It’s about proper finger position to control the club better
