SCHRIBER LAUNCHES ONLINE VIDEO SERIES
FROM the Ryder Cup to the mini tours, Adam Schriber has coached some standout golfers.
That list can include a duffer from Darragh or a beginner from Beulah.
Schriber, the director of golf instruction at LochenHeath Golf Club in Williamsburg, has an online tutorial business called Tour Prep Golf. The video series offers on-course videos and off-course workouts that train golfers “using the same program as the pros,” according to the company’s website, tourprepgolf.com.
The techniques Schriber uses online focus more on science than sport.
“We train more than we teach,” Schriber said, standing on the back of the driving range at LochenHeath on a sunny Friday.
Tour Prep Golf has a monthly ($15) rate. There’s also a four-month standard plan ($50) as well as a yearly subscription rate of $120 a year.
Schriber said the Tour Prep Golf video series is a six-month
includes two gym workouts for each month. It begins with ‘The Takeaway,’ ‘To the Top,’ ‘The Transition’ and the ‘Im- make swing changes, it’s tough because you’re just hearing words: Put the clubhead here, put it there ... blah, blah, blah. With (Schriber), he’s actually showing you.”
“His approach is totally different than any golf instruction I’ve had before,” said Colburn, a 2011 graduate of Traverse City Central who played in China last winter and will try to get through qualifying school this fall for the European PGA Tour. “I feel before that I would have moments of brilliance followed by moments of despair and frustration.
“I just always felt I was searching for something and I found that Adam’s method, like he says, tries to ingrain it deep down in there where it’s more natural and less mechanical thought. I think that’s the long-lasting way to go about it.”
Three-time PGA Tour winner and 2008 Ryder Cup participant Anthony Kim and young PGA standouts Sam Ryder and Ryan Brehm also count Schriber as their coach. But Tour Prep Golf isn’t just for the professional players.
“If you look at any guy on tour, they all have their own swing and their own unique way of doing things,” Colburn said. “At the heart of it, they all have certain traits
all good players. The basis of Adam’s program and all of the drills are sort of targeting that. We can all start with a better foundation and that’s why it’s massive upgrade” later this month. A series of videos at Golf WRX also is scheduled, he said.
Schriber said his videos work on establishing a ‘ feel’ for each player -- and that’s why it translates to every golfer.
“I don’t know what it feels like when you do it right,” he said. “I can tell you what I feel, but the chances of that working are
