Some golfers are visual learners. I am one of them. I haven't had very many one-on-one lessons in my life. Growing up, I learned a great deal from watching professional golf on TV, paying close attention to how the world's best golfers have swung the club over the years.
I like how it has worked out. I play pretty well, and I have a library of memories and inspiration taken from various golfers' swings that can help me steer back on track when things start feeling wonky.
GolfPass' producers create the best golf instruction videos you can find, and my favorites tend to center on touring pros' swings. That's why The Golf Fix host Devan Bonebrake's "Swing Lab" segments are particularly valuable. Here are four editions you should pay close attention to.
Scottie Scheffler's world-class driving
This Texan's unusual footwork may make some golfers nervous about taking inspiration from his swing, but in this segment, Bonebrake explains how the way Scottie Scheffler turns away from the ball could benefit you.

Viktor Hovland's aspirational posture
Early extension - essentially "standing up" during the downswing - is one of the most common swing flaws, shared by millions of golfers. Last year's FedEx Cup champion exemplifies the type of posture that ensures solid full-swing contact.

Max Homa's swing sequencing
The order in which certain things happen in your swing will determine whether you hit a good shot or a terrible one. Few PGA Tour players have a more elegantly sequenced golf swing than Max Homa.

Akshay Bhatia's greenside bunker technique
One of pro golf's most promising young players has a tidy sand game that you can learn from. Devan explains how, and what you can learn from it.

This was fantastic. I really enjoyed the technical aspect of the swing. I am pretty visual and this helps so much.
Would like to see Tommy Fleetwood's technical side.
