Teaching Philosophy
The majority of golfers are over-coached mechanically and under-developed athletically. Modern coaching philosophy has conditioned golfers to think about positions, angles, and checkpoints, when in reality, speed and power are the product of concept, intent, instinct, and reaction. Quiet the mind, unleash the athlete, and the swing takes care of itself. At the heart of Rob’s coaching is an array of unconventional mental and physical training principles that I've spent years developing — drawing from everything he’s learned as a professional baseball pitcher, a World Long Drive competitor, a college basketball player, and a student of elite sports performance. He trained alongside some of the world's leading sports gurus, including Tom Brady’s coach, and used himself as a guinea pig every step of the way. The result is a system that generates instantly faster swing speed with a dramatically reduced risk of injury. And as a very welcome side effect, faster swing speed makes every sub-maximal swing feel easier, which means better ball-striking, more consistency, and lower scores. Rob’s goal is simple: to give every golfer, at every level, the tools to swing faster, drive further, and feel better than they ever have before. Core Principles: 1. Focus on the golf swing as an athletic movement, because that's exactly what it is. 2. Concept and Intent: With the proper mental concept and intent you can bypass hundreds of hours of mechanical and drill work, and see dramatic swing-speed and distance improvement immediately. 3. The more talented the athlete/player, the less coaching he needs. Conversely, the opposite is also true. 4. Always, always, keep things as simple and instinctual as possible.
About the coach
Rob Harrand
is a 2x Major League Baseball draft pick (Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies) and former pitcher with the Philadelphia Phillies organization. He is also a former World Long Drive competitor, a former college basketball player and a 6 x international slam dunk contest winner. After thousands of hours spent working with some of the world's leading sports gurus and trainers (including Tom Brady's throwing coach) and from his own personal research, testing and training, Rob was able to achieve a 150 mph swing-speed, a personal best drive of 417 yards, a 97 mph fastball, a 44 inch vertical jump and a 4.41 40 yard time. This point of mentioning all of this isn't to boast, but to convey that Rob put in the work and used himself as a guinea pig, so to speak, to ensure that what he teaches truly gets results.
Pure Distance Golf
In 2017, out of a passion for golf, Rob founded Pure Distance Golf, a specialty golf company focused solely on helping golfers all over the world increase their swing-speed and distance.

The PDG System:
From day one, Rob's goal with Pure Distance Golf was to take everything he learned about speed and explosiveness playing other sports and apply it directly to golf training and the golf swing. The result is The PDG System. It's the exact system Rob used to go from swinging 112 mph to 150 mph in 12 weeks. It is built on an array of unconventional mental and physical training principles that focus on concept, intent, instinct, athleticism, reaction, and quieting the mind - not mechanical positions and checkpoints. The result: instantly faster swing speed and more distance, with lower injury risk, and, as a side effect, better ball-striking and more consistency.
