He is a PGA member, a US Kids Golf certified instructor and received honorable mention as a US Kids Top 50 kids teacher. In this short video, Chris and his student discuss the slice and how you can overcome this “age old” issue. Check out Hula Hoop strategy. We constantly hear professionals talking about avoiding the over-the-top problem that may cause you to slice the ball. “Instead of working around your body,” says 36 Burkstaller, “most players that slice the ball tend to have that little loop in their golf swings.” Fellow PGA Golf Professional Daniel Preston says Burkstaller makes golf fun for everyone. “What’s more important is that he keeps his lessons simple so that his students understand his teaching philosophy,” says Preston. “Whether he’s working with a beginner or seasoned veteran, each lesson is personalized to help them improve.” Chris Burkstaller teaches at The Island Country Club in Plaquemines.
