At American Tour Golf Schools, we believe that golf is not necessarily a recreational pastime…
it is an athletic endeavor.

The ATGS golf training philosophy and teaching progression are based upon current biomechanical principles that result in a reduction of compensating moves, creating greater efficiency and a more powerful golf swing.

ATGS focuses on the time-tested fundamentals of set-up, hand position on the club, posture, balance, and alignment. A wide variety of training aides and high-tech analysis are used to simplify and shorten the learning (improvement) process.

At ATGS, we pay particular attention to the balance and correct spine angle, teaching a rotary swing that revolves around the spine. Consistency in the golf swing comes when the body can rotate around a stable spine angle, allowing the hands and arms to take a passive role. Both clubhead speed and a solid ball contact are increased when the spine angle is held constant throughout the motion of the swing.

Blending physics and biomechanics, ATGS programs are designed to maximize the results for each student. We understand that practice makes permanent, and only perfect practice makes perfect. This is why ATGS takes such a hands-on approach to teaching the physics and biomechanics of golf instruction, thus enabling the student not only to understand the mechanics of a correct golf swing, but to be able to duplicate the correct motion, time after time.

“Biomechanics teaches us that it takes 350 repetitions to make a motion a habit,” said David L. Forbes, III, owner and chief executive officer of American Tour Golf Schools. “We have developed drills, golf training aids and golf swing tips to help each student not only produce the most efficient motion for a proper golf swing, but also to make that proper and efficient motion a habit.”
