It is my experience that many golf instructors are near-clueless regarding the topic of biomechanical limitations and their "effects" on the optimum execution of the golf swing.

Jeff.
I would agree, about some being clueless. But, you say "limitations", and I say abilities. I don't like the victim mentality, so my issue is with the verbiage.

It's important to be able to accommodate. One of my students is a double amputee from above the knees. I would say that's not the best case scenario for golf. But, other than looking a little stiff, you'd never know. I've seen him hit it about 240 with a driver. My goal for him is 100% of his potential. It's not to lament over his "limitations".
