It seems like an obvious comparison to make between the two power hitters, Bryson the new U.S. Open champ and Nicklaus of course the Greatest of All Time with 18 majors. Both exhibit the wide arced backswing and tremendous windup you would expect, along with a perfectly sequenced transition and free release through impact. They […]

Payne Stewart would be 63 (born January 30, 1957) had he not tragically died in a plane crash when he was 42 years old. His golf swing was a throwback to the days of Bobby Jones when any thought of restriction was nonexistent. Payne had more backswing hip turn and more total lateral movement (off […]

With seemingly more players winning on the PGA Tour with flat to bowed left wrist angles at the top I thought it would be interesting to go through my accumulated model swings to see how all the major winners I have film of looked at that position. I counted 86 major champions (I stuck to […]

I know you were expecting another look at Bryson’s swing, but I thought I would do something a bit different after watching him get it up and down over and over at Winged Foot. Here we see two pitch shots, one from an angle well outside the ball and one from directly down the line, […]

If you watched the tournament at Muirfield Village last week you know that Collin Morikawa is the real deal, as great ball striking and putting put him over the top against another excellent young player, Justin Thomas. In this video (thanks to my friends at TaylorMade) we get perfect camera angles of an iron swing […]

Back in January of 2018 I played in the Isleworth Invitational, partnering with Tony Romo. Tony had been playing quite a bit with Jordan Spieth, and we had a great time practicing on the fabulous short game area at the club with me showing Tony some things and Tony sharing with me some of Spieth’s […]

You’ve got to love watching Tyrell Hatton play golf. It is so obvious that he feels the way we all feel when we are out on the links battling the game, the elements, our own thoughts, our unsure technique. Watching him win at Bay Hill made me feel like I shared his triumph, just like […]
