A Systematic Program for Every Golfer

The R.A.W. method represents a systematic program addressing all aspects of the swing. Whether you're a dedicated golfer looking to refine your technique, someone struggling to break 90, or a complete beginner picking up a club for the first time — this approach meets you where you are.

Richard A. Wenz teaches a methodology rooted in the lineage of Harry Vardon, Ernie Jones, and Manuel de la Torre. The approach emphasizes three core fundamentals — grip, stance, and posture — to develop rhythm, tempo, and balance.

No athletic ability required.

Teaching Philosophy

The method avoids quick-fix approaches and swing-of-the-week trends. Instead, it builds on proven fundamentals that have produced results for over a century. When the fundamentals are right, rhythm, tempo, and balance come naturally.

What Makes It Different

Three foundational elements and proper fundamentals naturally produce desired outcomes. No gimmicks, no gadgets — just the same teaching principles that shaped generations of great golfers, enhanced with modern GOLFZON simulator technology for real-time feedback.

The Learning Path

A progressive approach that builds each skill on the last

1

Putting & Chipping

Start with the short game — build feel, touch, and confidence around the green.

2

Half & Three-Quarter Swings

Develop rhythm and tempo with controlled, partial swings before going full.

3

Short Irons (7, 8, 9)

Apply fundamentals to your scoring clubs — the irons that matter most on the course.

4

Mid Irons (3, 4, 5)

Extend your range with longer irons, building on the same core mechanics.

5

Woods & Driver

The full swing — by this point, your fundamentals carry naturally to every club in the bag.
