In this basement segment I go over what I have been doing lately with my swing. I have picked up a tremendous amount of distance and my iron play is far more accurate. I will keep you up to date on my progress as I get down to Florida to do some teaching and practicing.

My best buddy and caddy for the 1999 PGA, Mark Diamond, had the great idea to put my camera in the bag, and when I teed it up at 6:30 AM with John Cook, Mark O’Meara and late arrival David Duval for a Wednesday practice round we were able to capture a great memory.

I really like this lesson because it takes a swing that appears to be almost flawless and shows that not only do the eyes misinform the observer when things are too fast to distinguish but that changes for the better can occur, and evidence of the change can be seen, when the swing is looked at in detail in slow motion.

I ran across this little snippet of Ben Hogan taking a practice swing during the Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf Ben Hogan vs. Sam Snead match in 1965 and didn’t pay much attention to it until recently, when I noticed an oddity in his leg and foot movements as he casually makes a full back and forth movement in preparation for a drive.
