GROUND  FORCE DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM 

Power From the Ground UpThe Ground Force Development System (GFDS) is a modern, biomechanics‑driven training model designed to unlock effortless speed, consistent ball‑striking, and measurable performance gains by teaching golfers to generate power from the ground—exactly the way elite players do.
GFDS is not a swing method. It is a force method. A complete transformation in how golfers create speed.

Why Ground Force MattersElite ball‑strikers don’t swing harder—they apply force at the right time, in the right direction, through the right leg. GFDS trains golfers to:
  • Feel pressure
  • Load efficiently
  • Catch force in transition
  • Produce lead‑leg vertical and shear force
  • Integrate force into full swings
  • Map performance gains with measurable data
This system turns effort into efficiency and tension into speed.

The GFDS PromiseUnlock effortless power by learning to use the ground the way elite players do.
GFDS delivers:
  • Increased ball speed without increased effort
  • More consistent contact
  • Improved sequencing and rotation
  • Measurable carry‑distance gains
  • A repeatable force pattern that holds up under pressure

The Six Phases of GFDS1. Awareness Phase. Players learn to feel pressure and understand how the ground interacts with the body.
2. Load PhaseTrail‑leg loading and hip‑depth development create stored energy.
3. Transition PhaseThe moment force changes direction—this is the speed unlock.
4. Force Production PhaseLead‑leg vertical and shear force multiply rotational speed.
5. Integration PhaseGround‑force mechanics blend seamlessly into full swings.
6. Performance PhaseCarry, ball speed, and force timing are tracked and mapped.

Who GFDS Is ForGFDS is built for golfers who:
  • Want more distance without swinging harder
  • Want a modern, biomechanics‑driven training system
  • Want measurable improvement
  • Want a repeatable pattern under pressure
Whether beginner or elite, GFDS adapts to the player’s physical profile and swing identity.

What Makes GFDS Different
  • Force‑first approach instead of position‑first
  • Timing‑based mechanics instead of effort‑based
  • Lead‑leg power development instead of arm‑driven speed
  • Biomechanics‑backed drills instead of generic swing tips
  • Performance mapping instead of guesswork
GFDS is the future of speed training.

Program OptionsGFDS 6‑Week Training ProgramA structured blend of coaching sessions, at‑home work, and gym‑based force development.

Become a Ground‑Force Athlete. GFDS transforms how golfers move, how they generate speed, and how they perform under pressure. This is the system for players who want to build a powerful, athletic, modern golf swing.

When you know the truth, you gain control — and control

What Golfers are Saying

​“I wish I’d known about you last March, my shot pattern is so much improved in less than a month. I waisted all this time with another coach in Sacramento .”

“I practice more now with your app and my game is dramatically improving even though I’ve only seen you personally 2 times at this studio .”

Awakening to Golf


My Best Selling book is a great start to setting you on the path to create the consistent mental game you desire so you could reach beyond just your swing goals.

In 2009 I discovered that the swing alone is not the key to the LOWEST score you could create.  So I set out to assist all golfers help their mental game also!  Mental Player Development is not always about the swing. A proper mental mindset was the inspiration to once again help golfers play better!

This is why I wrote my best selling book in 2012!

The mental game is not for everyone, but if you feel you lack that in your golf game, then check out my best-selling book too!
