MakeTheTurn on Facebook and YouTube) of Make the Turn Golf (app and mttperformance.com website) is one of our favorite instructors not because he’s the son of a golf instructor or that he’s been teaching since he was 16, it’s because he has a fully integrated approach to making his students better by combining Skill Building, Mindset, Fitness, and Nutrition. In this conversation we talk about how becoming a complete golfer who “plays a game” will outplay someone who is just focused on swing mechanics.Congratulations to Matthew K of Sanford, NC.
