Now a Senior with over 40 years golfing experience, Shelby has developed a "refined" teaching approach that simplifies the golf swing motion.  Basic fundamentals for swinging the golf club "on-plane" makes the difference.

Shelby has worked over the years with beginners, amateurs at all levels, and golf professionals.  He is a specialist with the Driver and getting his students 20-50 more yards with straighter maximum ball flight.  Improved ball-striking with all clubs is his DynaSwingFIT ongoing objective for all golfers.

Throughout 2006 and 2007 Shelby has been an Instructor and Coach for The First Tee Program of Myrtle Beach.  Over 400 children, ages 7-17 will have participated in the local First Tee Program during 2006 through 2007.

Testimonials ...see RESULTS from students' successes.

After an extensive series of Shelby's quality lessons, I gained 50 yards off the tee.  My ball-striking is now more consistent and my handicap has dropped from 18 to an 8 now.  As a result, it is a lot more satisfying to play the game. 
          Dana Rouisse  8 hdcp
          Island Green C.C., Myrtle Beach

Thanks for making golf fun again. Having lost consistency and yardage due to a 'Tired Swing', I was convinced by a friend to visit Shelby for a tune-up.  After 3 lessons I was hitting the ball and scoring better than before.  Very easy to understand.  He talks in laymen terms to make it all less confusing.
          David Hunt  10 hdcp
          Myrtle Beach, SC

This past winter, you were very generous with your time and expertise to patiently instruct me and improve my golf skills, game, and fun on the course.  You succeeded---the game is fun, not so frustrating, and I'm scoring better (even shot in the 80's twice).  Most of all, I feel comfortable out there, thanks to you.  Sincerely,
          Alma Blythe

Shelby is a master at breaking down a very complicated sport to make learning the swing fun and rewarding...especially with the simplicity and effectiveness of several drills that bring great understanding and improvement.  From an absolute beginner to making par on three holes and birdie two holes at Sandpiper Bay course after only 4 lessons.  this truly indicates the quality of instruction.
              
 Lisa Garvin,  Beginner
            Nurse, Myrtle Beach Regional Med. Center

By the third lesson I had already cut 10 strokes off my game.  I also added 5-10 yards and a nice draw to my shots.
          Bill Hood   22 hdcp
          Atlanta, Georgia

My game has improved dramatically.  I have more confidence in my swing and I have control over the slice that has ruined my progress.
          Mike Gigandet   16 hdcp
          Atlanta, Georgia

After three lessons with Shelby, I started to see a slow but sure improvement in my game.  From a 106, I am now down to an average 90 and getting better.  I now have confidence in my swing.  I am 76 years old and now can hit the ball over 200 yards.  I can't say enough about Shelby and the help he gave me.
          Mike Ford  17 hdcp
          Murrells Inlet, SC

With the help of Shelby and the Key to Golf Swing Fundamentals, my handicap went from 16 to 9 in four months.  As a result, I was selected as Most Improved Golfer at Port Armour for the year.
          Ken Johnson   9 hdcp
          Port Armour Country Club, Lake Oconee, Georgia

I find an improvement in consistency and also a new found ability to take my game from the driving range to the golf course.  This improvement has resulted in my first score below 80 in years and a Hole-in-One.
          Mike Pecora   12 hdcp
          Team Golf Atlanta

After just three lessons, I shot an 83 on a course that I never broke 90 on.  Mechanically my backswing feels more compact and overall more efficient.  As a result, the downswing is easier on my body.
          Kevin Foster   18 hdcp
          Ravinia Club of Atlanta

Shelby has had a big impact on my game.  He helped fix my grip and posture.  When I first went to see him I was slicing the ball.  Now I play a consistent draw.  I went from shooting in the high 80's-low 90's to a high 70's-low 80's player.
