First GOLF LESSON ever! - This guy NEVER hit a golf ball in his life!

This video is a bit different than all the other videos we made so far. Someone is getting his first golf lesson ever. In fact, this guy never touched a golf club in his life! Jos Verlooy is someone special. Is is participating at the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2021. His discipline is Show Jumping (horses).
He is also participating in the Flemmish tv show "container cup" at Play4. In that sports program he has to hit a golf ball with an iron as far as possible. Today he is getting his first golf lesson to prepare himself fot that program.
In this video you will see someone learns how to hit a golf ball properly. We talk about gripping a golf club, balance, rotation and of course the basics of the golf swing.

Do you remember your first golf lesson? In what year was that?

[daddar]

This video is a true hidden gem. I have been golfing for years, but listening to you explain the basics in very broad terms to someone that knows nothing about golf forces you to remind yourself of the fundamentals. Too often you can become dizzy from instruction thinking about angles, checkpoints, and forces of power, forgetting the key concepts.

I’m watching this after my first day playing golf and this guy made me feel better about it 😅 😆

[lukebarnard]

His swing plane is so pure for never playing and he is already turning his wrists over at impact. That's crazy for a beginner to have that feel. He could be very good if he sticks with it. Great lesson and great foundation!!

I have been playing for 6months and had a lesson, nothing was working, i could swing the club but it was forced and very tense, this lesson has changed my golf, im so thankful you uploaded this video, everything has clicked with my swing, and im on my way to break 100 legitimately, no breakfeast shots etc, playing by the book this year as my golfing goal. Thank you so much and what a wonderful game it has now become to play!!!! 😊🙌🇦🇺

If you want to see something truly amazing, check out Ron Sissons ( a Canadian PGA Pro) giving lessons to beginners and experienced golfers. The before and After is truly remarkable, and the fact that he takes absolute beginners in one hour from terrible to striping the ball is something to see.

Now that’s top notch teaching, this young man all ready has the makings of a good golfer, well done!

[TheRausing]

this is so good. the lesson on generating speed by being loose and letting the club fall is exactly what I've been trying to teach my girlfriend who is also a total beginner. I will show her this video as you are clearly a much better teacher than me ! 😂

[Jdeneik]

Excellent instruction! Very good patience w your student. When you see smiles on their face, you are achieving results! Well done!

[Stevencat]

This video actually improved my swing greatly! Thank you and Jos for this. I'm very glad Jos did this because that's not an easy thing to be filmed and shown to everyone. Thank you guys so much.

This was entertaining to watch! I forgot what my first lesson looked like, what a hard game! Keep posting videos like this and any other tips that you have. I still struggle with balance! At the takeaway I pull my body forward and force myself onto the balls of my feet.

[TouchOfVenom]

Look after yourself and keep pushing through. Love silent hill 2 myself. So yeah looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Keep strong.

[swissgunz]

This is the greatest golf lesson I’ve had the pleasure of watching. Thanks!

[GoodKounsel]

I just wanted to say thank you! Your instruction has improved my ball striking and overall golf game. You are a treasure and if you ever find yourself in Birmingham, AL, drinks, golf and dinner are on me!

[TexNano]

MANY THANKS!! Amazing lesson with great valuable tips and superb teaching methodology. You are a great instructor!!

[dannmetal]

I actually liked this video. From absolutely beginner - to still a beginner, but we all saw that slight improvement. He needs to be congratulated. He's done well, so hopefully he improves!

My first lesson? June 2021. I'm a newbie as you know, and I have played golf before (roughly once a year) - but you'd call me a 'weekend hacker' (like 40-50+ handicap or even more - and didn't care to do much better). Once my Comp Tennis days were over (earlier this year I decided, sadly) I decided to take up Golf. Fast forward 8 lessons in and my SW-7I shots are extraordinarily consistent (with the odd shank here and there, obviously). Point is, in this three month turn around with lessons and practice, i know when I hit a bad shot, I know when it doesn't feel right, I know when my tempo is off etc etc. I have high hopes for the future, and so do i for this guy learning and improving Golf. Fantastic - and well done to you for being patient. A trait I know that is part and parcel of teaching. Well done. Dann.

[paulmaggs]

great.. thank you i have learned so much from this..

[gannagass]

I am thinking to start golfing and this video is an excellent introduction..I see how important is to take the right lessons from a professional who can actually convey his knowledge. Thank you!

[hebbelynckquinten]

Amazing video! I am starting my golf journey the day after tomorrow. Looking forward to it.
