Golf Instruction by Dan Shauger

and the Mike Austin Method

“Dan Shauger spent over 25 years playing and caddying for the longest hitter of a golf ball in golf history ”

Dans Books and Dvd’s have been written and produced to replicate the critical elements of the Mike Austin Golf swing method according to Dan.

The Golf instruction and golf lessons contained in his two books “How to Kill the Ball” the “Formula for Power and Accuracy” and “The Golf Swing for the 21st Century” are the books I read which reduced my handicap from 13 to 5 and created an opportunity for me to become a golf teacher.

While you may get the feeling this golf instruction website is all about power and distance it is actually more about how to move your body in such away to generate leverage so that you achieve a very smooth and effortless golf swing which for most golfers leads automatically to further distance.

I believe all golf instruction books, DVD’s and systems that have been developed over the years all work…… The problem is finding a system of golf instruction that suits you best.

Our golf instruction Books, DVD’s and Bootcamps are ideal for the “Beginner Golfer” and golfers who are frustrated by a loss in distance in their golf game.

“If you are shooting over 85 we can definately help you”

However……If you are unfortunate enough to be a single figure golfer you will be best served by reading and watching my free putting video lessons from our PuttingZone sytem”

As we get older our loss of distance off the tees may come to be a source of frustration along with the fact that our bodies may also be working against us so we need a system that will maximize our abilities in a simple and easy way to achieve further distance and accuracy.

Our golf instruction is based off the proven techniques and systems used for the past 70 years by ”Mike Austin” who at the age of 64 hit a drive of 515 yards in a sanctioned PGA Tournament. His record still stands today.”

I Travelled to Los Angeles and Boca Raton in Florida to become qualified to teach Mike Austins/Dan Shaugers “A Perfect Golf Swing” system and Geoff Mangums PuttingZone system.

I also incorporate Carey Mumfords Mental golf “Clear Key” system to help you take your golf swing to the course.

About Mike Austin and Geoff Mangum

When looking for either distance off the tees or finding perfection on the greens, Mike Austin the worlds longest driver of the golf ball and world renowned putting expert Geoff Mangum are two gentlemen worthy of serious study.

Mike Austin’s record drive of 515 yards in 1974 at the US National Senior Open is still the longest recorded drive on any of the professional golf tours. Even more amazing, Mike Austin was 64 years of age when he achieved this unbelievable feat.

Phil Reed author of “In Search of the Greatest Golf Swing” a self confessed skeptic went on a mission to uncover the “truth” about Mike Austin. He wanted to get some form of validity to verify Austins unexplainable distance.

Reed talks about Austin’s meeting with the legendary Bobby Jones and how Jones was astonished at the distance that Austin could drive. Back in the day of Tommy Armour, Paul Runyan and Gene Sarazen, Mike Austin was driving the ball over 300 yards.

A good drive back in those times was about 250 yards.

Mike Austin held a doctorate in kinesiology. He understood how the joints and muscles involved in the golf swing could be used in the most efficient way possible to create a very powerful golf swing.

The Austin swing utilizes the natural movements of the body and as a result the potential for back pain or injury is substantially reduced.

The method that he developed allows the hips to naturally slide to the right on the takeaway. The side to side movement of the hips and tilting of the spine is what he called a “compound pivot”.

The other distinctive difference that Austin incorporated into his golf swing was a principle of “counter rotation”. By winding or turning his wrist and forearm he was able to position the club in such away that allowed him to literally throw the club head from the top of the swing.

Mike Austin may have gone down in the record books as one of the greatest golfers ever if he had been able to putt.

Dan had the pleasure of playing, caddying and learning from the great man for over 25 years. Imagine having all that time on the golf course with a little known legend like Mike Austin.

When you are dealing with a mastery on a day to day basis some of it surely must rub off on you. The man who has hit the longest drive in golf history is now your mentor and guardian in learning the golf swing.

The “How to Kill the Ball” and “The 21st Century Golf swing” are Books written by Dan in an attempt to pass on the knowledge he learnt with his time with Mr Austin.

Their system has produced long drive champions who all have very conventional looking golf swings even though the golf instruction methods and techniques used by them is anything but conventional.

Jaacob Bowden is one of Dan’s master students.

Jaacob was on a 14 handicap and had aspirations of becoming a golf professional on the PGA tour. After only 4 months of learning and adopting the “aperfect swing method” Jaacob became a scratch golfer. He turned pro a month later and won his first Remax long drive competition with a drive of 381 yards.His average drive after 15 long drive events was 336.8 yards.

Apart from his length he achieved by using his new golf swing, Jaacobs accuracy was unmatched by any of his competitors.

Other PROFESSIONAL long drive champions who have been taught by Dan’s golf instruction include:

John Marshall

2005, after only 3 hours of lessons and home study from the book and DVDs, Won the Long Drivers Of America National Championship in the Super Seniors Division. No flash in the pan, he repeated the feat in 2006.

Jim Liska

After only 2 hours of lessons, won the 2005 ReMax Worlds Long Driving Championship Qualifier in the Super Seniors division. Finished 2nd in the 2006 Long Drivers of America, National Championship to John Marshall.

Combining over 70 years research and Dan’s 25 years of working with Mike Austin has gone into producing the “aperfectswing” method. The writing of his book and the creation of the DVD’s has provided every golf enthusiast a very simple method to create power and accuracy for your own golf swing.

Hi William

I now know why the swing you taught me is called the “A Perfect Swing”. After playing golf for 20 years without a hole in one, 2 weeks after my lesson with yourself, yesterday I achieved my first ever hole in one (14th at the New Plymouth course).
