Brian was a PGA member from 1966 to 2022 he was an ex-tour player who loved coaching golfers of all standards. Brian had started writing his second book The Easiest Swing in Golf but sadly never got to finish it, so he passed the baton onto Philip to complete it. Philip has been a PGA golf professional since 1974. Having had a background as an ordinary club golfer who decided to turn professional and spent over 50 years learning and coaching to discover easier ways to play, Philip was understudy and student to older brother Brian.
Dr Karl Morris Mind Factor Coach - Mind coach to six Major winners I have been involved in golf coaching now for over thirty years and during that time it has been very rare to come across two such unique individuals as Brian and Philip Sparks. Brian, I knew for a number of years during which time we had a series of wonderful conversations about the game. I was always so impressed by Brian's passion for a subject he knew with such incredible depth but he had a skill to deliver the concepts with that rarest of qualities these days SIMPLICITY. More recently I have got to know Philip well and he has made some really valuable contributions to my Mind factor certification courses with his own passion and understanding of the game. I feel a really deep connection with the words written in the book you are about to read because they resonate with many of my own beliefs about how the game should be both learned and taught. In a world drowning in so much superficial technical information it is so refreshing to read a book I know you will be able to apply to your own game in a way that will both delight and surprise you. The concepts within the book provide you with an opportunity to explore a freedom in swinging the golf club. Just imagine if you began to experience a game where you felt free to explore a truly instinctive motion of your body. A motion that can feel great just for its own sake. An expression of freedom which will resonate at a very deep level withinyour being. Whatever you do don't just take my words for it, soak up the profound wisdom contained within these pages, take action and open up your golfing world to one of possibility. Dick Stockton Hall of Fame Sportscaster I just want to say that the book to me, represents the Bible of all golf instruction (coaching) books published. If anyone can't absorb its contents, I can only imagine they really don't care to get better. To me, getting better means enjoying my golfing day. It has nothing to do with score or competition or anything of that order, it has to do with my enjoyment of the game. That's why I took it up at forty-five years of age. When I play, all of the golfers I play with could use the information in the book. I often attempt to share its message with them, but far more often than not, they refuse to listen or quickly dismiss it. Many of them are set in their ways..... Too bad!... I'm not, my wife Jamie is not, and that's all that matters. Continued good success with the Easiest Swing. All the best, Dick Phil Scott, PGA Professional - Father of Adam Scott, Masters Champion and former World number 1 The Easiest Swing in Golf, in whatever form it is adopted-be it the golf strike, or a philosophy and attitude-will have a positive impact on your game and your enjoyment of the game. I guess the ultimate commercialism is to promote what the world's best players do, what they play with, how they practice, how they train etc. The trouble is-to my mind anyway-virtually none of it applies to anyone else, unless they aspire to be one of the world's elite. The rest of us, even if we are good players, simply cannot do those things. But it is virtually all we see promoted in the mainstream media. What a shame. Anyway, I am preaching to the converted I'm sure. Thank goodness with Easiest Swing there are still some alternatives for people to search out, find and implement. Easiest Swing and La Danse du Golf, will, I am certain, gain more and more traction, momentum and acceptance. Personally, I believe it has never been more relevant than now, as we see the incredibly widening gap between golf for the masses and the top-level Professional game. Good on you, love what you're doing. Cheers, Phil
