First Lesson Ever: Can Justin Parsons Help a 10 Handicap Break 80?

1 hr
Added on May 07, 2025
TGJ Content Producer Alec Yoder has competed in the Olympics, but he’s never had a golf lesson. In his pursuit of breaking 80 for the first time, Yoder spent a day with top swing coach Justin Parsons (Harris English, Brian Harman, Blades Brown, Louis Oosthuizen) at the Sea Island Golf Performance Center and transformed his swing.

In this lesson presented by Titleist, Parsons breaks down every aspect of Yoder’s swing, from his setup position to trail leg action to impact position. It’s an authentic look at a real lesson with a world-class coach. The only question is: has Yoder broken 80 since?
