Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was participating in a scramble golf tournament in early spring 2016. It was the long driving hole - a par 5. I was one of the longer drivers in the group and I really wanted to bust one out there. I was feeling rickety that day (you know when your muscles are tight and you feel like your joints are kind of fused together). So I did what felt comfortable to me; I didn't realize it at the time, but it was the beta version of the STICKMAN Golf Swing. I pured it dead straight and long. Searching for a reliable golf swing is like trying to find the holy grail. It's a pipe dream. I was searching for 30 years. I was endlessly tinkering, watching youtube videos, seeking out tips from gurus and touring pros. Discovering the early version of the STICKMAN Golf Swing was like many beautiful discoveries. It was serendipitous. The STICKMAN Golf Swing was fully realized by me (a single digit handicap golfer) by the fall of 2016. Before STICKMAN, I was a student of the golf swing idea that you force yourself to primarily work a ball left or work a ball right. The idea was that if you know your tendency when you tee off, you can aim down the edge of the fairway and have the full width of the fairway at your disposal. I was a right-handed natural drawer of the ball, but when I got nervous or tried to take a big rip, I'd often block or slice the shot. And if you are aiming down the right side of the fairway expecting a draw, this can be nerve-wracking. So I learned how to reliably fade the ball. I found that if I was nervous or took a big swipe, I might get an exaggerated slice, but at least I was aiming along the left edge of the fairway. Sadly, over the decades, I just reinforced a slice swing that became shorter and shorter in distance and I never knew when it was going to be a gentle fade or a banana ball. So, from that moment - that "swing" - during the scramble tournament, I made it my mission to search for the golf swing holy grail with unequaled passion and fury. Pounding out balls at the driving range: playing round after round of golf (much to the chagrin of my wife and children who not surprisingly did not share this passion). I practiced the "swing". I honed the "swing". It's straight: it's long: it's repeatable; it's kinder to the body. it's amazing. I took copious notes. I wrote this book. I'm so excited to share it with you. Especially if you are frustrated with your golf swing and are thinking about giving up golf altogether! Last Spring, I shored up my golf knowledge by passing all requirements for Canadian Golf Teachers Federation membership (an affiliate of the American based World Golf Teachers Federation). Secondly, I took on 3 frustrated, senior-aged golfers this past summer to teach them STICKMAN. Two of the chaps had to pause golf for medical reasons. Graciously, they assured me that it wasn't because of my method or me pushing too hard. In fact, they have asked to reconnect next spring. The third fellow, Daryle, had amazing success. At first, I thought Daryle was going to give up on the swing. He was struggling with all these new ideas while battling his previous, more comfortable swing. But, at the 2 month mark, he started hitting the ball longer, straighter and more consistently. Here's what he has to say: "I recommend the STICKMAN Golf Swing method wholeheartedly. I haven't had such command of my ball since I was a junior. If you are struggling with your game, do yourself a favor and try Eric's technique. " Consider adopting this swing method and bringing back joy to your game.
