Richard Franklin
Principal/ Lead Instructor, Circle Systems Golf
I have an impeccable record for conducting corporate events all over the United States and the U.K. Circle Systems Golf, through its golf schools and private instruction provides golfers of all abilities a clear understanding of how to make their golf swing as efficient as possible.The most critical element of my teaching is being able to quickly identify each member of the groups individual swing tendencies, physical limitation, and learning style; leading to fast, individualized protocols for golf swing improvement.
I specialize in providing the improving golfer with the necessary information for long term growth in the game. My teaching methodology can be viewed in more detail on my website www.circlesystemsgolf.com.
I am passionate about the information and research that has gone into the creation of my instructional methodologies. I believe my information regarding the golf swing to be among the finest in the world. As a lifetime player and current professional I understand the desire and gratitude players have for quality instruction that is scientifically grounded, yet logically applicable.
I believe in giving players control over their golf swings by impressing upon them the basic geometric imperatives that govern the swing. Once basic rules are learned; power sources are learned and applied; and henceforth a structure is built. Really, a circle is built, and once your basic circular pattern is built, a systems of checks and balances is easily learned; allowing a player to become self aware as their swing evolves. Sustained improvement is the name of the game..
20 contactsSAMPLING OF RECENT CORPORATE GOLF EVENTS
Perigord Group Golf Event
January 22- January 23
Maynooth, Ireland
Circle Systems Golf was in Dublin, Ireland for a 2 day event. The proceedings were held at beautiful Carton House golf course. The participants started with a class room "debriefing" of the major concepts to be presented in the subsequent hours. As is common practice in all CSG schools, classroom time is an integral part of the learning experience. Pictures, video, and lecture points more richly illustrate the simplicity of CSG's methodology.
After the morning discussions, students quickly dove into executing CSG's fundamentals:
1. low point consistency (flying wedge setup and impact alignment)
2. control of the body's centers
3. pivot dynamics
Extensive time on the range assisted by video analysis was how participants spent the rest of their Saturday.
Sunday was all about 50 yards and in, and taking new patterns to the golf course. The short game session served to teach students the importance of a "baseline" chip/ pitch motion. Once a player has developed a baseline shot, simple setup variances are the only additional principles to learn in order to achieve desired trajectory and spin characteristics.
The group spent the rest of the day on Carton House's O' Meara golf course. The on course portion of a CSG event is always an eye opening experience. The Dublin school was no different, as members of the group hit an array of career best shots.
Tetra Pak Packaging Event
August 20th, 2010
Location: Whistling Straits Golf Course, Kohler, Wisconsin
CSG conducted a full day clinic at the site of this year's PGA Championship. The 11 participants of the clinic spent the morning integrating CSG's core principles into their own swings. The second half of the morning clinic was devoted to the short game. The clinic audience received a demonstration of CSG'S approach to shots inside 20 yards. Morning events concluded with a brief demonstration on putting strategies.
The afternoon was devoted to on- course training. Students were given further instructions on how to implement their new procedures. The day's structure of a morning clinic followed by afternoon play proved to be very successful. The event's format allowed each student to put together a game plan for future golfing success. The new, more efficient swing patterns reigned supreme on this day!
