SACRAMENTO, Calif. _ For a guy you couldn't pay to stand on a driving range and analyze a golf swing, Will Robins has an interesting professional goal: Revolutionize golf instruction worldwide.
He appears to be making progress. His program at Empire Ranch in Folsom is flourishing, his coaching model is being used by 70 teachers around the world and in October he was named by Golf Digest one of 72 "Best Young Teachers in America."
Robins emphasizes group fun and competition, scoring within 100 yards and doing it all largely using the swing with which you were born.
"I'll show you how to put the ball in play and get the ball in the hole," Robins, 38, said. "If you want a video of who has the prettiest golf swing, I might not be the best guy because I know plenty of guys with beautiful golf swings who can't play."
