Swing Philosophy: Tour-Proven Fundamentals for Your Best Swing

At Christensen Golf Academy, our instruction is rooted in one unwavering principle: We don’t change your swing—We elevate it. We apply Tour-quality fundamentals, drawn from the proven techniques of the top players in the world, to give you the greatest chance for success.

This philosophy is built around our Three Pillars of a Successful Golf Swing, which simplify the game into actionable, proven principles in a step-by-step guide to improving your swing. By sticking to just 1-2 simple swing thoughts at a time, we refine your existing swing into a consistent, high-quality motion you can trust under pressure:

1. The Core 4: Grip, posture, alignment, and ball position. These essentials lay the foundation for consistency, accuracy, and control.

2. The Swing Triangle: Height, width, and depth in your swing. These three interconnected elements form the foundation of a powerful, balanced, and repeatable swing:

   • Height: Staying tall in the backswing for structure and compression.

   • Width: Maintaining a wide arc by keeping the hands away from the body.

   • Depth: Rotating deeply through the hips and chest to set the club properly.

3. The Refinement Zone: Mastering the critical factors that define ball flight and performance at impact:

   • Club Path for accuracy.

   • Club Face for direction and spin.

   • Attack Angle for trajectory and clean contact.

   • Speed for controlled power.

These Tour-proven fundamentals are designed to maximize your swing’s accuracy, efficiency, and momentum, the three cornerstones of consistent improvement and success.

We believe in building on your unique swing while instilling the mechanics that lead to peak performance. Whether you’re a competitive player or simply looking to play your best, this approach ensures you’re equipped with a swing you can trust under any conditions.

Your swing. Your game. Elevated. Let’s apply what works—and make your best even better.
