This is such a simple swing that it's not very hard to execute.

It's not very hard to understand and it's not very hard to learn.

This is Golf Smarter.

And that's what I like about this swing.

It's really not as complicated as you would think and it's easy to remember what you have to do because there aren't a thousand things you have to remember what to do. Now, you just have to stay still and you have to do the work in the setup.

One of my goals as a teacher is I want my students to be autonomous. A golfer is not allowed to

receive advice during a competitive round. Right. So they're on their own. You're on your own. So I want you to be autonomous so that you can make the adjustments and corrections on your

own so that you don't need me.

I make this joke all the time when I'm teaching.

I say if I die tomorrow, just read your ball flight and recognize that contact is a product

of your weight, direction is a product of the position of your shoulders, and you're going to make the adjustment in the setup, and then you're going to stay still.

So that way, you can have the luxury.

You shouldn't need me.

You should, once you get this swing down, we should talk because we want to have a beer and you're going to tell me how many birdies you made. Not because you're wondering what now would I do. So I just

have always found, and you know, I experienced the same thing. I learned from some of the top

instructors in the world when I was in high school. And I found it to be difficult. I found it to be

confusing. And it just was something kind of like my celebrity student.

I felt like maybe I'm not getting something. I'm not understanding something. But I was a really

great athlete. I played high levels of other sports. And yet I still struggled with what the

conventional swing was. And then once I abandoned that and I played Division I

had abandoned all of traditional theory, I just worked off a ball flight. I paid attention to how

the ball flew and I understood how to control the ball flight through the position of my setup.
