The rave reviews are coming in, the Straight-Line Golf™
instruction system works, and is a lot of fun!
Here's what some of the latest
students in Parmasters Straight-Line Golf™ have to say:
"I
just wanted to thank you for all your help resurrecting
my golf game with the Straight-Line Golf Method.
I can't recall if I ever told you where my golf game was
at before I discovered straight line golf but three
years ago I was pretty close to giving up the game due
to problems with my lower back. Over 20 years of playing
golf with the conventional multi-axis, body rotational,
torque filled golf swing had taken its toll on my lower
back and golf game. I once played to about a 10 handicap
and would break 80 periodically. In my quest to improve
I began to practice more which of course put a constant
strain on my back and by the time I was contemplating
giving up the game 3 years ago my handicap was nearly
17, I rarely broke 90, and was not having any fun on the
golf course. My lower back had gotten so bad that I had
to take pain killers before, during and after a round of
golf. I quit playing for about 6 months and saw a
physical therapist for my back problems...
I figured there must be a better way and that's when I
started reading about your straight line swing methods.
I liked what I read and so being the eternal optimist I
ordered the tapes and began doing the impact backward
exercises along with the golf kata and golf chi...
This year I'm shooting consistently in the low 80's as
well as shooting 1 over for nine holes one evening. The
gate and rewind visualization techniques have really
helped my scoring. Just the other day I had noticed that
I had gotten out of using the gate and really
concentrated on the gate on my approach shot into the
18th hole and stuck a wedge to about six feet and
birdied the hole. My index is now 12.7 and I just did a
quick calculation and my index should be below 11 by the
time my handicap is updated. I just got done with a
session on the launch monitor and my swing speed is up
to 105 mph with a driver. I've got some nice problems
now like hitting short irons into par fours and
adjusting to the increased iron distances.
I also just received the "How to hit the Ball Straight"
home study course and I really like being able to refer
to any aspect of the straight line method for a quick
review. What's nice is that I always learn something new
when I review a section. Another great thing about the
method is that I don't need good weather to practice
because I can practice the exercises at home when my
schedule permits, I don't have to hit hundreds of golf
balls a week, I can maintain my game with the exercises,
and the exercises translate to my short game which is
also improving.
This year I hope to get my handicap down into the single
digits and thanks for making golf fun again for me.
Thanks,"
Dave Arakaki
"As a new user of your Home Study Program I'm happy to say
I'm thrilled with the results already! Last year I was
an 11 handicap, with a back that got worse and worse all
year. By the end I was a 16. The pain was so bad that I
had surgery at the end of last year, and haven't golfed
all winter. This spring, watching your dvd's I was
inspired to get back at it, and within five rounds I
shot an 81!! My shots are straight, my back pain is
massively reduced. Thanks so much, keep up the good
work.” - Bob Brown, Florida
"After completing four golf lessons and
the Straight-Line Golf Instruction Clinic I went to a course
and improved my regular score (120) by 15 strokes (105).
But more importantly, I hit the ball consistently
straight. After ten lessons I started to break 100 ...
Last week I shot a 93" - Zachary Rubin, July, 2004

"After the first four hours (of the
Straight-Line Golf Instruction Clinic), I went from being
extremely tense and barely being able to hit a golf ball
to being completely relaxed and started hitting it
perfectly straight...(now) the Straight-Line Golf
Clinic has improved my score by 30 -35 strokes. I
used to shoot in the 140's and now I shoot in the 100's,
and it's only been 3 months since we took the workshop.
We can't wait to see what the future holds." - Bonnie
Kahn, July 2004

"What can I say except .. thank-you
... thank-you ...thank-you!!! I must admit, after trying
almost every gizmo, training aid and traditional golf
lessons, I initially thought you were just another
scheme to get more of my money. I am thrilled to report
that you are everything you promised you would be!...
Before I started working with you, I was posting scores
around 105-110 (and that was using the foot wedge and
winter rules). I am thrilled to be posting scores in the
low to mid 90s (playing where it lays) and this after
only the Straight-Line Golf Clinic and two
golf lessons. I truly believe I will break into the 80's this
year and only improve more and more using the system you
developed." - Chef Christopher Koch, July, 2004

| The weekend
of Fathers’ Day 2005 was my club’s member/guest tournament and my partner and
I had garnered a half-point lead over two other teams going into the final two
nine-hole matches of best-ball. The two weeks prior to the tournament, while I
hadn’t played a lot of golf, I had been diligent in doing the Straight-line
Golf™ swing trainer exercises and the Golf Chi. I also read Scott’s book again
and watched Parmasters™ How to Hit the Ball Straight Home Study DVD as a
refresher.
The tournament format was such that the minimum points per match were three
and the maximum points per match were six. In the morning match, on the
easiest nine of the thirty-six holes, I was unable to hit a single fairway and
made zero pars and zero point contributions to the team. We ended the match on
the losing side of five and a half / three and a half point total; our first
loss of the tournament.
I was devastated that I had left my partner alone and was convinced I had
cost us the tournament. During the break between matches, we decided the only
chance we had was to “six out” our next opponent (which was now in first
place).
I mentally flushed the morning’s results, regrouped and performed the
Straight-Line Golf™ swing trainer exercises and the Golf Chi for about ten
minutes alone under a shade tree. On the toughest nine holes, using “through
the gate” and “reach for the hole” I proceeded to hit all seven fairways and
record six pars-not too bad for a fourteen handicap. After two-putting for par
from about sixty feet on the last hole, I secured the sixth and final point of
the match.
We won our flight by a half-point!
I am convinced that the Golf Chi and swing trainer exercises associated
with Straight-Line Golf™ coupled with the focus on “through the gate” and
“reach for the hole” turned my game around that day. I told my partner to
expect me to have a single-digit handicap, and therefore us being in a tougher
flight, when we defend next year.

After aggravating an old back injury, I struggled to break 100, worse still I was playing in pain. I was ready to give up the game. Then I met Scott and tried Straight Line Golf using the tape. I immediately stopped playing in pain; within six months I had a 21 handicap including shooting an 89 for the first time! I love Straight Line Golf. It is a key reason why I have become an investor in Parmasters.

Our heritage:
While we will open our first site in
2005, the amazing system of golf coaching has
been taught by Parmasters Co-founder and Chief
Golf Professional, Scott Hazledine, for ten years.
His private three day camps have been running for years,
offering a guaranteed forty percent reduction in handicap!!
Not a single person has asked for their money back.
Not once.
In fact the results to date using Straight Line
Golf™ instruction system have literally been stunning.
But don't just take our word for it. The following
are some of the dozens of testimonials Scott has received
over the years, including several that received amazing
results just from his videos!
We call them Success Stories, and we think you
will agree.
- I personally believe that the straight
line motion swing that Scott teaches is ideal, and
most certainly for the less gifted athletes among
us.
- Scott, not only are you a golf master
but you're also a great teacher and a great person.
- Impact backward training system gives
one the basis to build a consistent repeatable swing.
- March 7th this year I made my first
double-eagle on a 502 yard par 5.
- I went into the second bunker and went
in without fear for the first time in my life.
- I've found that your system is the
most reliable for me.
- After two weeks of training and 2 rounds
of golf, I dropped my score from a 92 down to an 81.
- I know exactly what it takes to produce
a solid swing.
- Watching the tapes and doing the impact-backwards
drills has helped my game immensely.
- His drills are systematic and well
explained and they make sense.
- I had just too many good shots too
mention.
- Thanks for the most incredible golf
swing in the world.
1. I attended one of Scott's
three day schools in February, 2000. I went to the school
with a 13 handicap that had been steadily worsening
over the years, and by August had reduced it to 9 by
practicing what Scott taught at the school and in his
videos. I'm hitting balls as far or farther, and for
sure straighter than I did five years ago, even at the
age of 57.
I'm still playing in the 9 to 10 range (8.7 slope index
currently), but certainly feel I am capable of achieving
a 5-6 or lower level with some concerted short game
practice effort. I'm very happy with the mechanics Scott
teaches, but the feel part is difficult to sustain when
playing only once per week or so.
I personally believe that the straight line motion
swing that Scott teaches is ideal, and most certainly
for the less gifted athletes among us.
Scott is in my view a great teacher of a great swing
method, and certainly an excellent player who plays
the way he teaches, as he demonstrated during the playing
sessions at the three day school I attended.

2. Thank you so much for a great
rewarding weekend!! It was an honor working with you
and lots of fun dining and chatting with you. We just
need to clone you now!! :-)
I hope you had a good trip back and have already seen
your son.
By the way, I shot an 82 yesterday with about 3 or
4 lip outs. I had decided to only focus on the gate
yesterday but a slight variation worked. I had a hard
time imagining the gate to I decided to focus on the
club head just behind the ball as the gate.
I'll let you know when I shoot that sub 80 round, which
I think is right around the corner!
Scott, not only are you a golf master but you're also
a great teacher and a great person. Your son is a very
lucky kid. I got more than my money's worth

3. I'm 68 years old, played
golf since about age 14, but majority of my golf has
been over the last 25 years. In late 1998 I acquired
the Natural Golf videos. In spring 1999 attended a 3
day Natural Golf instruction school. Next two years spent in frustration
trying to learn what I think are extreme golf positions
and posture to swing like Moe Norman.
In fall of 2000 I acquired Scott Hazledine's golf
instruction videos.
In May of this year, I traveled to Minneapolis and had
a 3 day school with Scott. Canadian dollar exchange
rate was terrible as was the weather. I was the only
student, which was a real plus.
Over the years I've taken golf lessons from about 10
different Pros. I would characterize most of them as
"Feel Good" Pros; i.e. they watch you hit balls, offer
a few tips and complement when you hit a solid shot,
all of which makes you feel good but doesn't result
in long term benefit.
Many give you help with a certain swing position and
you sometimes see an immediate improvement for a short
time. But as time passes, any improvement gradually
slips away and you're back to where you started.
Scott's teaching method is dramatically different.
His impact backward training system gives one the basis
to build a consistent repeatable swing. If one invests
the time in doing the training drills, you see improvement
that continues and grows and you don't slip back.
I can't think of anyone, except Moe Norman, who would
understand and know more about the single-axis golf
swing than Scott. His teaching and training in a school
is intense and at the same time rewarding.
I have experienced improvement, although not as quickly
as I had hoped as I played golf with some sort of "conventional
swing" for many years.
Also because of our shorter golf season in Canada,
I spent more time golfing than working on the impact
backward training.
I came away from my three days with Scott thoroughly
saturated with information on the single axis swing.
My impulse then and now was to take another session
with him. His method gives you the basis for building
a much better golf game.
I have watched his videos probably 200 times and learn
something each time.
By the way, imprinting and training is starting to
show up. Shot 74 & 78 last two rounds. Only one birdie,
but had NINE birdie putts in the 74 round.
Hope everything is going well with you. Would love
to eat again at Joey's Crab Shack!!

4. I know you receive a lot
of questions, but I would like to write you a note of
thanks. I really enjoy playing Straight Line Golf™.
I am limited by my time and this swing allows me the
time to practice at home by drills without having to
spend so much time bruising range balls. I am in single
digits again like I used to be when I was a traditional
golfer. This time, I am not burning myself out.
I would also like to say that on March 7th this year
I made my first double-eagle on a 502 yard par 5. I
actually aimed my drive in the perfect spot and I aimed
to the slope of the green from 205 yards out let the
roll take it into the cup. I guess once in a while things
work out the way one plans.
One day I hope to come to one of your schools. But
for now, I'll just continue to wear out your tape.
Thanks again for being an outstanding person and presenting
such a great teaching tape to us.

5. Got the tape for the short
game and viewed it this morning. Went to the golf course
this PM and used the new info (Straight Line Golf™)
for chipping and was thrilled to death with the results.
Although I didn't shoot a good score and my chips and
pitches occasionally came up short, I was pleased with
the crisp hits. I was especially pleased with my sand
play. I got in the trap twice and the first shot got
me out and on the green close to the hole. I went into
the second bunker and went in without fear for the first
time in my life. Hit a great out again and was thrilled.
Will continue practicing and let you know how I do.

6. I've found your two swing
videos to be the best of the three Straight Line
Golf™ instruction videos that I have purchased. I've found that
your system is the most reliable for me-- should have
never veered from the Straight Line Golf™ path.

7. I am a recent convertee to
the Straight Line Golf™ system and love your
method.
After two weeks of training and 2 rounds of golf, I
dropped my score from a 92 down to an 81 (should have
been a 78 since I blew 3 three-footers for par).
I enjoyed Scott's 'Master the Golf Swing' tape completely
and have become an advocate user of the Straight
Line Golf™ instruction system.
This tape provides an excellent introduction and overview
of his golf system. So much information is provided,
that one must watch it several times to grasp the concepts
and techniques.
Before obtaining this tape, I was rather skeptical
of what would be taught and the promise that my handicap
would improve 40%.
Since then, Scott's Straight Line Golf™ system
has improved my golf game dramatically. I have improved
my distance, accuracy and short game considerably in
just 5 months of self-training.

8. I did it! I shot a 75 today.
I have been golfing for about thirty years. Today was
my first time breaking eighty.
Three years ago I was suffering through another frustrating
golf season, shooting anywhere from high eighties to
well over 100. No consistency, poor short game, hooks,
slices ... the list goes on.
All I wanted was to be able to consistently hit the
ball straight. I found Natural Golf and a local instructor.
I took a series of lessons and the first four rounds
of golf, all played on the same course in a weekend,
were 110, 95, 88 and 80. I was happy, but it wasn't
to last.
I started to shoot poorly, the grip was never comfortable
to me (they have since changed the grip be like yours).
Although my handicap had fallen from twenty-four to
twenty, I was frustrated with inconsistencies.
That is when I found you. Last year my handicap went
from a twenty to seventeen. This year it is down to
a thirteen ... and continues to fall to my goal of single
digits.
Scott, your videos are excellent. All the information
on the web site has proven invaluable to me. My Sure
Stroke putter and instruction video have made me
a much better putter. The short game video has dramatically
improved my short game from 100 yards and closer. The
full swing video has made my swing repeatable ... I
know exactly what it takes to produce a solid swing
... You built my swing from the bottom up ... it is
all in the video.
I don't play often. Once, sometimes twice a week, April
through September. I do practice a lot ... and not always
at a practice facility ... and not always with a club
in my hand.
I cannot thank Straight Line Golf™ enough
for all the help. Golf is not frustrating any more.
- Patrick Perreault, South Portland, Maine
PS. Here is an update from Patrick we received recently:
Two years after first viewing Scott's videos, practicing
and playing, my handicap is a 10. I broke 80 for the
first time this year shooting a 75 (and later a 78)
to go along with several scores of 80. I have not shot
in the 100's in over a year ... I only had a few rounds
in the 90's this year. I am working on getting my handicap
to a 5 next year by consistently scoring in the 70's.
My full swing is repetitive and comfortable. My short
game, including putting, has greatly improved. I look
forward to reading or viewing any of Scott's teaching
materials.

9. Thank you for your tapes
and your willingness to address questions through the
Internet.
I am a former Natural Golfer. Although switching to
single axis in general helped, I could never achieve
the distance and consistency claimed by the Natural
Golf Company.
I have purchased your full swing and short game tapes.
Watching the tapes and doing the impact-backwards drills
has helped my game immensely. Straight Line Golf™
is everything you say it is.
I have switched to Scott's method last year and I have
steadily shown improvement.
I used to shoot in the mid 90's, but now I'm down to
the high eighties and low nineties. This past season
I posted my best score ever-- an 86. This score was
in large part the result of Scott's teachings.

10. Thank you for your excellent
website. I am a convert from Natural Golf for the past
3 weeks and it has been a very easy transition. I just
ordered your video today, but I have been able to figure
a lot out by your answers to questions.
By the way, I played my first round of golf last Saturday
(scramble tournament, I was the C player). When the
day was done, I was hitting last (usually reserved for
the A player).
That shows you how well I was hitting it, and it was
under a lot of pressure (I had not played with these
guys before). I seem to have pro trajectories (not distances
yet) when I hit them good. I hit a 4 wood Saturday 225
yards up hill and into the wind! I also hit one in the
cup from the fairway!
I had just too many good shots too mention.
Thanks so much.

11. I re-tooled my swing using
Scott's 3 videos-- he teaches a method which is clear,
consistent and with diligent practice (30 days, 30 minutes
a day) then periodic maintenance, easy to maintain.
His drills are systematic and well explained and they
make sense.
I think his knowledge of the golf swing is superior
and his ability to convey information amazing.
He answers questions in an extremely thoughtful and
often humorous way.
How has his swing improved my game? I have limited
time to practice and play now. Before Scott, I shot
in the low 90's and occasionally the high 80's.
Now playing less, and practicing much less, just tuning
up the swing once every two weeks, I can shoot consistently
in the low 80's.
You would be hard pressed to find a better teacher
than Scott. Thank you, Scott.

12. Thanks for the most incredible
golf swing in the world.
I recently got Natural Golf golf clubs, but I was having
trouble with the golf swing. I ordered your full swing
and short game videos, and after viewing them I went
straight outside to my net and started with the drills
that you showed.
I did them for about 45 minutes before I attempted
to hit a full shot. By the 3rd full swing shot I was
hitting the ball so straight and so solid. Before I
had always had that weak click sound from wrist breakdown.
This swing makes it a lot easier to be in the proper
wrist angle at impact. I had this problem for years,
and it's finally gone forever.
I went to the range right after to see how my shots
were going, and they were just flying out there dead
straight.
Thanks for everything.
