"Fast" Eddie Fernandes is an American Golf Professional as well as a Long Drive Professional. He is a 3X World Long Drive Champion, and now in his 50's is still one of fastest swingers of the golf club in the world. (His longest ball in competition is 480 yards.)

Eddie has won over 50 professional Mini Tour events, 15+ Long Drive events and he made the PGA TOUR Champions Q-School finals in 2021 - he joins #OntheMark to show us exactly how he does it, and how you can drive the ball farther too.

Eddie dives into the Mechanics and the Must-Do's for more speed:

• How to Create a Bigger "Runway" for Acceleration
• Footwork and its Value in Speed Creation
• Creating a Pivot that "Opens up the Body"
• Hand and Wrist Action for Speed Transfer
• Golf Swing Freedom and Swinging in Balance
• Center Contact and Understanding "Anticipitory Muscle Reaction"
• Equipment and Shafts for More Speed Generation
• Trajectory and Tee-Heights for Added Distance, and
• The Mindset for Success off the Tee.

This podcast is also available as a Vodcast, and you can watch Eddie hit drives at his "cruising speed" of 190+mph. Search and subcribe to Mark Immelman.

Dana Dahlquist is a Golf Magazine Top 100 Teacher and a Golf Digest Top 50 Golf Instructor. Recognized as one of the best on the Professional Golf, Dana's goal is to help players create swings that are functional and repeatable under pressure, not just swings that look good on camera on the driving range. Originally trained with a background in mechanics (MORAD specifically), his teaching has evolved to understand the forces players must apply to create the matchups needed in their swing.

Dana also works with Bryson DeChambeau and joins #OntheMark to set up the US Open and help you get a better understanding of how to build a dynamically stable and repeatable golf swing.

He takes a deep dive into technique as he discusses elements that a lot of golfers misundestand:

1. Hitting Down in Contrast to Presenting Better Dynamic Loft for better Strikes and more Power
2. How to effectively Make Changes for Consistency when embarking on Game Improvement Measures, and
3. Managing Expectations and Setting Positive Timelines for Improvement.

As he elaborates on these important topics Dana talks about Ben Hogan, Mac O'Grady, Lee Trevino and Bryson DeChambeau. He also talks about game improvement's "Heirarchy of Needs" and how hitting the shot that is needed is better than hitting a good shot - as he uses Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Scottie Scheffler as examples.

Henri Johnson is the Inventor/Founder and CEO of FlightScope Golf. He has a Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) in Electical and Electronics Engineering at The Stellenbosch University in South Africa. Henri began his career in the development of Radar and Sonar Systems for the SA Defense Force. Thereafter he parlayed that experience into a career in golf ball and golf-club performance measurement and FlightScope was born.

Henri joins #OntheMark to talk about FlightScope and its array of products incl. Launch Monitors and the new FS I4 Rangefinder.

As he does this Henri educates on game improvement by teaching about and explaining the following measurement and learning concepts:

• Ballistics - how the golf ball travels and what elements affect its performance, incl. Lift Forces, Air Density, Kinematic Viscosity, and Air Resistance.
• Understanding Launch Monitor Data and How to Properly apply the insight for more appropriate game improvement decisions.
• D-Plane Data and Understanding the information the Data Points offer.
• Golf Ball Launch Angles, Speeds, Spins and Descent Angles and their impact on Distance and Power.
• Maximizing Equipment and Golf Ball combinations for Optimum Speed and Carry Distance.
• Using the FS Launch Monitor for Productive Practice and Game Improvement, and
• The I4 Rangefinder and how its Smart-Gapping Technology and Real-time Environmental information can help you select the proper club for each shot.
