To start the club back, you need to start it back slow. It has to have a rhythm, but it has to be slow. Because if you start fast, two things occur. You're going to grab it with the right hand, and you're going to pull it right wrist back. You're going to bring that club back to the inside too soon. That's number one. And number two, when you have a fast back swing, you're always going to have a short back swing. Those two go together. So if you want to hit it a long ways, you have to have a wide back swing, and you have to have take time. As I tell people, if you're going to shoot an arrow with a bow, you've got to pull that and pull all the way back. Well, there's a time period to do that. So you see people with these real short, fast swings, they hit it nowhere.

Well, as I expected, the response to bringing Tony Manzoni insights back as a refresher to start

the season was a good idea. So for the entire month of March, we're featuring one of the most

valued teachers in the history of Golf Smarter. We lost Tony to Cancer in October of 2018,

and the fact that we continue to be the only outlet

to provide this great instruction from Tony Manzoni

makes it even more important to share these.

What you just heard was a taste of this week's conversation,

which was originally published as episode 438 May of 2014.

The original episode was an hour long and covered two of Tony's favorite topics, Ben Hogan's Secret and the Lost Fundamental Shortgame.

So I'm going to split it up into two parts.

Part two has also been published today in Golf Smarter Mulligans, our sister podcast that revives the great instruction archived in our library of over 400 hours of golf content.

So stay tuned to the end and I'll update you on how to get the book and the video of Tony's incredibly helpful, The Lost Fundamental.

And I also have a great offer from Two Guys with Golf Balls.com.
