Every golfer, from beginners to professionals, knows one truth—the golf swing is everything. It’s the foundation of your game, and even the smallest adjustments can mean the difference between a crisp drive down the fairway and a frustrating hook into the rough. But here’s the good news: mastering your swing doesn’t have to be complicated or intimidating—especially when you have the right coach by your side.
At Golf With DC, Derrick Campbell takes the mystery out of the golf swing. Whether you’re brand new to the sport or a seasoned player looking to refine your mechanics, Derrick’s coaching provides a clear, supportive path toward improvement. By breaking the swing down into manageable pieces and delivering coaching that’s customized to your needs, Golf With DC helps golfers of all levels build confidence and consistency.
Understanding the Basics of a Golf Swing
Before you can improve your swing, it’s important to understand what actually makes up a good one. A golf swing is a combination of coordinated movements that work together to deliver power, accuracy, and control. While it may look effortless when professionals do it, every swing involves several key components:
1. Grip
Your grip sets the tone for everything that follows. A proper grip helps you control the clubface and produce a more consistent ball flight. Derrick’s swing consultation will evaluate your grip and make subtle corrections to ensure you’re starting with a solid foundation.
2. Posture and Setup
Good posture allows for a full, powerful turn while maintaining balance. Many beginners struggle here, but with in-person golf coaching, Derrick can immediately correct posture issues on the spot, helping you build better habits from the ground up.
3. Backswing
The backswing is where you create energy and coil your body in preparation for the downswing. Timing and control are crucial here—and with Derrick’s guidance, you’ll learn how to avoid common mistakes like overswinging or poor shoulder rotation.
4. Downswing
This is where the magic happens. A smooth and well-sequenced downswing creates powerful, accurate shots. Golf With DC helps you train your body to move efficiently and deliver the club to the ball with the correct path and angle.
5. Follow-Through
A proper follow-through reflects a balanced, well-executed swing. It also impacts your shot shape and distance. Through drills and exercises, Derrick ensures that your follow-through supports your goals on the course.

One of the best things about Golf With DC is that it’s not just for scratch golfers or competitive players. Derrick works with golfers of all skill levels, including total beginners who are picking up a club for the first time.
