[Premium] When I looked at Jimmy’s swing last year there were quite a few things I thought he could improve on, even after winning 3 times and having a great year. Well, it looks as though he has taken steps in the right direction, as all of the tendencies I noted have gotten better.

[Premium] If I look at a swing on multiple occasions I try to focus on the swing at hand rather than spend too much time going over what has gone on in the past. Improvement is hard to come by and I prefer to just take what’s in front of me at the moment and not dwell too much on what has improved or what hasn’t.

[Premium] I took my time. I took a practice stroke. From 14 inches I make 100 out of 100 putts- maybe 1000 out of 1000. But I missed. Seventeenth hole, national television, standing one under through 52 holes and in good position in the top 10 in the PGA Professional National Championship at the Crosswater Club in Sunriver, Oregon, the same course on which I won the same tournament in 2001.

[Premium] If you like the way I teach and are used to watching Hogan films you may not think Langer’s swing is very good, but 96 overall wins (40 European Tour, 23 Senior Tour, 2 Masters, 4 Senior majors) would tell you to watch this carefully to see how he does it.

[Premium] Here is another example of a very good player who is held back by right arm motion that complicates the release action to the point where it can’t be controlled consistently. Chris’s action is not as obvious as most that we see here on the website, but that just goes to show you how important it is to be able to slow the swing down and watch the sequence of movement in transition and in the impact area.

I was lucky enough to stumble upon this interview while randomly clicking channels one day, and the words that Watson used and the message he delivered were so close to the way that I have tried to approach golf and have tried to impress upon my students that I thought that you, the serious golfers who are on this website to improve your play, would enjoy and benefit from them. Golf is an individual sport. There is a certain loneliness that plays a role in any individual sport, but none so much as golf, where you don’t have to hit…

Here are a couple of lessons given to Rice University player Tommy Economou. Tommy originally sent in his swing in February of last year, and he experienced some nice improvement and some good college tournament results.
