Tuition by Lee Kopanski

It's important to
note that your ball will finish where your clubface is
aiming. If you are striving to improve your golf
then it is vital that you are correctly
aligned
When you hit a wayward shot, where do you
lay the blame? If you are pointing at your
grip, stance, left shoulder or hips then maybe you
are looking a little too far from home.
|
|
|
Golf is an
explosive, target orientated sport and so your body
should be dynamically prepared, ready to swing into
action.
Not relaxed but ready.
How can you achieve this if you have to
stick your backside out and force your spine to
be as straight and stiff as a snooker
cue?

Testimonials
from
some of the best...
Lee has worked with some of the best coaches in the world over an
11 year period
|
|
Alan Thompson
English National Elite Coach
|
|
I have known Lee for seven years as a pupil and a Golf Professional. During this time I have seen
him work diligently on his technique with an intensity and commitment given to very few people.
This same quality is evident in his conduct around the Pro’s Shop and in his own teaching where I
know his attention to detail and enthusiasm for the job at hand ensures that his customers and
clients receive the very best of attention. (1998)
|
|
Alan Thompson has inspired many England International junior boys and several England girls and
ladies, including two Curtis Cup players. He is coach to many European Tour Professionals, PGA
Professionals and to the England National Elite A Squad. Much of the future of English golf rests
in his hands.

Denis Pugh
PGA *MASTER Professional |
|
|
|
Lee Kopanski regularly visited me for golf
instruction over a 14 month period during the time I was based at the Warren Golf Club
inEssex. Lee made a big
effort to travel from his home in the North of England and thereby proved his commitment to
improving both his golf swing and his knowledge of teaching. His understanding of the mechanics of the golf
swing plus his interest in the skills of teaching will, I am sure, serve him well within the
future. (2000)
|
Denis Pugh is the renowned golf analyst on Sky Sports Golf Night and was a former tour player
himself. He has coached over 150 Tour Professionals since 1988. He is most famous for his long
time association with 8 time European Order of Merit winner and Ryder Cup star Colin
Montgomerie.
*PGA Master
Professional.
Awarded by the PGA to qualified
Members held in high national or international esteem. Members that have made a significant
contribution to the development of golf as a player, coach, administrator, or course
designer. A leader in theirfield for a number of years. An innovator.

Bill Ferguson
PGA *MASTER Professional |
|
I have known Lee Kopanski for the past two years and I have also taught him not only about his
personal golf swing, but also the golf swing in general. I found him to be a very personable young
man, articulate and well mannered. (2000)
|
There are not many people that can claim Colin Montgomerie as a caddy but Bill Ferguson can. Bill was
Monty's first mentor as a nine-year old and coached him well into his professional career. Bill
Ferguson's playing highlights include lifting the PGA Club Professional Championship in 1976. He was
the English national coach for 25 years and is a past Yorkshire captain of the PGA as well as serving
on the executive committee. Bill Ferguson has been a mentor to
many great players including; Colin Montgomerie, Ian Woosnam, Howard Clark, Darren Clarke, Seve
Ballesteros and Paul Broadhurst.

 In two lessons he was able to show me how simple
the golf swing can be. I was not only impressed by the simplicity of Lee's teaching
methods, but also by his enthusiasm, dedication and love of golf. His book is a
masterpiece. In one season alone I dropped 20 shots and I know that thanks to his
teaching system I will be a single handicapper by the end of this
season. Thank you Lee, you are the best!

My slice was killing my game and was losing me
massive amounts of distance. I had one lesson with Lee and immediately started to hit
longer and straighter than ever. My drivers were accurate, the Slice had vanished and my
new found length left my playing partners scratching their heads! Lee's teaching methods
worked wonders for me and the highlight was being presented with the "green jacket" and
crowned Austrian Seniors Masters Champion 2010

I have played golf and taken lessons for over
twenty years so there's not much that I haven't heard or tried. Lee's teaching
methods on the other hand were a breath of fresh air. I don't even think about my
hips, shoulders or any of the other complicated stuff. In just one season I dropped from
Hcp 17 to Hcp 8 using his guides. I am made up, I owe you a few beers, cheers
Lee!

As a scratch player, for many years I have always
found it hard to control the clubface throughout my backswing. I bought your
Signature Golf Swing 3 months ago, got to say the lesson on wrist hinge
was worth every cent, top class. My ball striking and consistency off the tee is the best
it's ever been, awesome!

Hello Lee,
I have searched far and wide and tried many things before discovering your Signature
Golf Swing teaching system. I followed it exactly, lesson for lesson, it is amazing
how easy golf can be! At the beginning of the season a par 72 course took me 127
shots, but thanks to your book, at the end of the season I am regularly playing rounds of
90 shots. Brilliant!

Signature Golf Swing was recommended to me by a
golf buddy, actually it was my last hope. I played soccer, tennis and basketball all to a
high standard but golf just killed me. Lee, I have watched DVD's, read books and searched
the internet but nothing made sense. I studied sports science so I know what I am talking
about, your methods make complicated, simple! When can I get your lessons on DVD? You have
turned a hacker into a 12 Hc in one season! Rock on!

It is essential that your basic golf techniques
are correct, especially when you don't have the opportunity to play as regularly as you'D
like. Lee knows exactly how to focus on the main elements of a shot and explains point for
point what needs to be done. When my game is not going as well as I would like I remind
myself of his words and find my way back into the game

I thought I was a "has been" having once
played off a steady 2 Hcp then I totally lost it. My handicap crept up every year and it
was that bad at one stage that I didn't touch a club for 8 months. I found Lee Kopanski on
the web and thought he would be churning out the same old techniques that I was tired of
hearing about. Got to give it to you Lee, your lessons are top notch and for the most part
new to me. The lesson on core rotation is simply fantastic and with the help of your
Signature Golf Swing book I am back to striking the ball just like the
good old days and I'm now chasing that 2 Hcp.

Signature Golf Swing has allowed me to take a major step forward in my golf. I have focused
on a few extremely important points and have noticed a marked improvement in my swing. At the
end of the day I am happy with my score and much more importantly, my golf is great fun!
