Building an Athletic Golf Swing with Milo Lines

Building an Athletic Golf Swing with Milo Lines

Author: Mark Immelman October 27, 2025 Duration: 54:51

Milo Lines is a PGA Professional, a Golf Digest "Best Teacher in State," and a former Tour Professional.

His philosophy on the golf swing is that there is crossover, especially in sports involving hitting and throwing, with golf and the golf swing.  As a teacher his goal is to apply the athletic skills you already have and teach you the skills you need in order to improve as a golfer. 

He joins #OntheMark to help you apply your athletic instinct and experiences to make your golf swing more athletic and effective.

Milo shares his "5 Key Elements" to an athletic approach to the golf swing:

  1. ALIGNING - Grip, Aim and Alignment
  2. SEQUENCING - Swing Triggers, Timing, Rhythm and Tempo
  3. WINDING - Turning and Tilting athletically
  4. LOADING - The Athletic approach to the Transition and Change of Direction
  5. UNLEASHING - The Automatic Release of the club thanks to proper Sequencing, Winding and Loading.

Milo also illustrates PGA TOUR examples such as Lee Trevino and Jack Nicklaus as athletic swing models, and teaches you a Drill (Laddering) that will improve your practice and unleash your inner athlete.
