How I Teach Golf (Inspired by Kelvin Miyahira) is a 12-part series on MyJLStory.com. Each post shares one of my personal takeaways from studying Kelvin’s biomechanical framework and refining it through years of teaching. These are not a direct representation of Kelvin’s teaching — they are my interpretations, shaped by my own experience and mistakes. Start here, then follow the series for a full picture.
When I first came across Kelvin’s writing, I didn’t expect it to change everything.
But it did.
It connected twenty years of teaching, studying, and trial-and-error into one clear framework — one that makes sense in both science and feel.
Kelvin showed me that golf is not about “fixing moves.”
It’s about understanding motion, structure, and how the body truly works.
His ideas became the backbone of how I now teach: awareness before mechanics, rotation over shift, structure before style.
I never met Kelvin, but through his writing, I met his clarity.
And that clarity still shapes how I see golf every day.
What This Series Means to Me
This How I Teach Golf (Inspired by Kelvin Miyahira) series is more than just twelve articles — it’s a living framework.
It represents everything I’ve learned, tested, and taught through Kelvin’s lens.
From spine engine power to short game precision, each piece connects back to one idea:
golf improvement starts with awareness, not drills.
And this is not a closed chapter.
This series will stay dynamic — I’ll keep updating swing tips, examples, and case studies within this same framework as my understanding deepens.
Kelvin built a foundation for continuous learning, and I want to honor that by keeping it alive and evolving.
Gratitude
To Kelvin — thank you for putting your knowledge out there when most would keep it private.
Your work bridged the gap between theory and feel, and gave teachers like me the tools to help others more clearly.
To my students — thank you for trusting the process.
You’re the reason I keep refining this craft.
And to every reader following along — I hope this series helps you see your own swing differently.
Once you see clearly, everything else becomes simpler.

Closing Theme
Golf rewards awareness, not effort.
Speed over strain.
Structure over style.
And clarity over confusion.
Kelvin helped me see that clearly — and I’ll keep paying that forward.
