Sean Foley (golf instructor)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Sean Foley (born Burlington, Ontario 1974) is a Canadian golf instructor, who has coached Sean O'Hair,[1] Hunter Mahan, Stephen Ames and Parker McLachlin, among other PGA Tour professionals. He has coached Justin Rose since the end of 2009.[2] Foley also coaches Canadian PGA Tour player Chris Baryla,[3] and LPGA Tour player Julieta Granada.[4] Foley began a partnership with Tiger Woods during the summer of 2010.
Foley has been the head coach for the Canadian Junior Golf Association since 2003, and teaches at Core Golf Junior Academy at Orange County National, Winter Garden, Florida.
Foley graduated with an Arts degree from Tennessee State University, where he played on the varsity golf team. Foley did not aim for a professional golf playing career, but had set a goal in his mid-teens of becoming an instructor to top players, after watching David Leadbetter work with Nick Faldo on the range at the RBC Canadian Open at Glen Abbey Golf Course in the early 1990s.[5]
Foley left the Clublink Academy at Glen Abbey in Oakville, Ontario, and moved to Orlando, Florida in August 2006.[6]

[edit] Coaching Tiger WoodsIn May 2010, Foley denied widely spread rumours that he was about to be hired as coach by Tiger Woods[7] On August 10, 2010, Foley helped Tiger Woods with his swing during a practice round at the PGA Championship, and confirmed the possibility of working with Woods.[8] Currently, Foley works with Woods twice a week in the off-season.[9]
[edit] Instruction styleFoley is known for his scientific approach to the golf swing. One of his trainees, Justin Rose, said of Foley's instruction style:
Sean does not look at me as a golfer. He looks at me as an athlete and from a biomechanical point of view. He is not necessarily wrapped up in what makes a swing pretty. He wants what works for me from a scientific point of view. This is not necessarily the position that everyone strives for, but that is what I like about Sean.[10]
Foley recommends setting up with about 55 % of the body weight on the left side (for righthanded golfers) and keeping it left during the whole swing until contact with the ball, when close to 80 % of the weight should be on the left foot.[11] This is the same setup and weight shift instructors Mike Bennett and Andy Plummer prescribe.[12] Foley acknowledges the resemblance and says it is due to the fact that they all studied the swings of old players that kept centered over the ball during the whole swing.[13] Foley stated that he has "a lot of admiration and respect" for his friend Andy Plummer.[14]
