If you want to talk about “natural” swings you have to start with Jimmy Bruen. I compare the swing to Eamon Darcy and Jim Furyk, but the more I think about it I see it as a less conventional Fred Couples, where the club floats to the top any old way then is led down by the body with a side arm throwing motion right out of Hogan.

Parker has made tremendous progress with his swing, as shown in the side by side of the older iron swing with the new and improved one. He is still at odds with his left arm lifting as he moves into transition, and here I show him how he has to move if he continues to pinch his right arm in front of him in the backswing.

This is a pretty involved lesson so I will leave it up to you to watch and decipher it. Mark does indeed have a good swing, and I can see where teachers who aren’t technique oriented would see it as more than adequate and that Mark’s issues must be mental.

So there’s good news and bad news: the bad news is that I played poorly for 28 holes, making 3 doubles and a quad, and then played the last 8 holes 2 under. My putting was adequate, my short game spectacular, my ball striking horrendous.

Bryce has a violent transition, pulling down hard with his hands and arms to make up for a lack of lateral movement that would pull the left arm against the chest in transition. Bryce is an excellent player and a smart guy you would think he could just effect the change immediately. Alas, as is almost always the case, it takes a while to figure out how to get a major pattern change to happen when it’s in the middle of the swing.

It may look like this is a fairly out of the box experiment but it is actually going back to something I was very successful with for a good while back in the early 2000’s. I originally opened my stance in 2000 due to an inability to clear my left side, and I won the 2001 National Club Pro with that open stance.

Anthony produces a powerful move that doesn’t produce a lot of power due to the delivery angle of the club to the ball. My suggestions here start a bit differently than most of my online lessons…

Yes, that’s right all you golfing pundits: Tiger’s head is dropping as much as it ever has. The only difference is that he has evened out the amount between the backswing and the downswing. So please, don’t say that he is not dipping or dropping or squatting or lowering as much now, because he is. The proof is in the swing.

Jason has been struggling with his takeaway, he has developed a stutter at the start of the backswing, and more important than to figure out why it happens (other than the physical part) is how to overcome the problem.

First day on the Blue (the US Open course played from 6950 yards) I hit 7 fairways and 10 greens, felt quite jumpy and didn’t really make anything (33 putts). The second day on the Gold Course from about 6850 (another really good track, cut more through the trees) I hit 7 fairways again but only 7 greens and had 28 putts.
