GOLF’S GREATEST LESSONS EVER!!!

This is a compilation of my favorite lessons on the golf swing from Ben Hogan, Moe Norman, and Lee Trevino.

  1. Mo couldn’t have said it more clearly. “The first move is straight down.
    The club moves farther behind my back.” That flattens the shaft and
    pushes the clubhead behind the right shoulder and down. It’s like if the
    club suddenly got very heavy at the head – too heavy for you to hold up.
    It would fall to the ground and you’d have to drag it around to the ball.
    This is the same feeling. When you let the clubhead drop lower, without
    pulling it around, your right elbow has to bend and tuck. The same move
    Hogan told us about. Like Mo illustrated it’ll feel like you’re
    approaching the ball with the club upside down and backward because the
    clubhead has dropped. Try lowering the club to the ground behind you from
    the top of the backswing, now turn until the clubhead reaches the ball.
    The only thing needed now is a slight rotation of the hands to square the
    clubface and that happens without conscious effort. Now try the opposite,
    from the top of the backswing rotate the arms and wrists to bring the club
    up and over your head toward the ground. The clubface will be backward –
    facing you – there’s no way to strike a ball from this position no matter
    how you rotate your body. So, it’s clear which way the club needs to move
    from the top of the backswing to strike a ball. Although, it feels like
    it’s moving in the wrong direction at first you’ll soon realize it’s not.
    Once the clubhead nears the level of your hands you can turn the body
    through, dragging the club and let it fly out to strike the ball.
    Relaxation in the hands and forearms is what’s needed instead of muscular
    control. Engineering and physics causes the club to turn over and strike
    the ball not timing or effort. We’re only pulling the club around on an
    imaginary hoop to the left and letting it fall, fly out, turn over … the
    only effort we exert is to the left in a circular motion. 

  2. lee Trevino thinks the ball climbs up the groves
    What?
    the guy who owns moe’s vid usually copywrights all unauthirised copies

  3. Great set of clips. Trevino is my guy. Found his book and it’s now my golf
    bible. I lack the flexibility to make a swing like hogan, but a Trevino
    push, that I can do!
