Australian PGA Professional Brian Fitzgerald the golf doctor shows you a very simple training drill to help improve your foot work which will result in better contact and more distance.

My name is Brian Fitzgerald – I’m an Australian full time golf coach living in Melbourne and coaching at two venues. The Bayviews GC on the Mornington Peninsula south of Melbourne and the Lang Lang GC in South Gippsland (both an hour and a quarter from Melbourne) where there are lot’s of Kangaroos.
FAQ:
How long have you been a golf coach? I qualified as a full member of the Australian PGA back in 1985. Wow I don’t feel that old.
Why do you make videos for YouTube? That is a great question and one I get asked a lot. I love helping people play better golf and people tell me I have a very unique coaching style that is very simple to understand. We really should do things simpler. I just make them to help people and if people like my videos they can either come for a golf lesson in person or if that is not possible you could join my membership program and I can then view your golf swing or any part of your game and really help improve what you do.
Do you always change some ones golf swing? To be perfectly honest I try not to. If I do try to change some ones golf swing I have to have a pretty good reason for doing so and the client has to be fully engaged and committed to both regular coaching and practice in order to make that change. Most people say they will do both with good intentions but most fall away pretty quickly.
So my preference is to change things that will improve their score easily. There are so many different ways to do this.
What do you film with? – I have a few few different cameras I use. An old GoPro Hero 4, an iPhone 6 and iPhone X, A Sony ZV1 and an old Panasonic Handy cam (I’m using that less and less now). I record my sound on an old iPhone 4.
What do you edit with? – About a year ago I switched to Adobe Premiere – prior to that it was Pinnacle Studio
Do you make money off YouTube? – Yes.It took me over 100 videos to make my first total $100 off adsense and then another 50 videos to make my next $100. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.
I really enjoy your videos, how can I support you? – Here’s my ko-fi where you can buy me a coffee, beer or a burger should you wish (kind of like giving me a tip via : https://ko-fi.com/thegolfdoctor
Thanks for watching!

I'm an old bloke and if I tried that I'd end up breaking my ankle and fall over hahaha
Hey Brian, did you get to watch the open much this weekend (appreciate the time zone is a bit tricky!)? Same as last year, the bloke with the best putting won, I think I saw a crazy stat that said he only missed 1 putt from within 10 ft.
Merci Brian pour cet exercice qui rendra certainement service à beaucoup d'entre nous.
Another nugget from the best Coach on YouTube.
Have to say though at my age my main concern is to avoid kicking the bucket!!
Stay safe and thanks.
Nice video Brian. Brian Harman just won The Open by 6 shots – he's 70kg, 1.7m tall, does not rank in the top 100 for driving distance, he made 58 of 59 putts inside of 10 feet. A little more distance off the tee is helpful of course and great tips here, but Harman's success reminds us where the money is on a golf course!
Thanks Brian – that makes sense and is a great way to get that right foot up. I hope the Dorset buckets are strong 😀
Thanks Brian and more distance for everyone!
Always enjoy your explanations and demonstrations Brian, especially this video geared to golfers like me! I can't say that I am "frozen in cement" with my feet, but, I think my problem on occasion is I don't always get my backswing to parallel and my weight transfer and rotation is not on point in my downswing. I am working on this and it is getting better, but I have to commit to the shot and not hold back. Always enjoy your lessons Brian! Keep up the good work!!
Watching the British Open you would think golf was an easy game. Oh how wrong you are!! They say golf ruins a good walk- ha ha ! Just when I think I may be improving I then play like…… an old lady ( I am!) Thanks for the advice as usual.
