In reality, the secret is to understand that striking a golf ball is a
stationary ball, hand-eye coordination skill. This requires you to focus on
swinging the CLUBHEAD and guiding the CLUBHEAD’S path through the ball.
Body oriented swing thoughts – keep HEAD down, keep your SPINE angle –
actually CAUSE YOUR MISHIT SHOTS! Most golf instruction ignores the only
thing that has any effect on the ball – the CLUBHEAD – and distracts you
with confusing body-focused swing thoughts. See my videos.
To those suggesting this is poor advice… He clearly states this was a
correction for his problem with hitting it thin and to the right. This is a
common swing thought among pros. Check out Graeme McDowell’s practice
swings.
Just to let everyone know that Tom Watson does not advocate starting the
downswing with the shoulders ……. this is just a small clip ….. on his
dvd he explains ….. separation…. how there is a separation between the
left hip and the left shoulder ….. which allow for the arms to lead from
the inside … the 2 dvd set is worth the investment
Tom should be ashamed to play at Angeles National Golf Club! About 10
employees are suing for sex and anti-Jewish discrimination! They are an
embarrassment to the PGA!
i watched tom watson recently at the senior open at sahalee in 2010, for
anyone whose ever watched tom in person; his swing is absolutely
mesmerizing, i have never seen such an effortless swing. this guy is a champ
@cockywatchman1976 Sorry, but just one more to prove your point,: If you
look at other vids of Watson or other top players, you’ll find that
virtually all the best ballstrikers not only show that separation of arms
and hands from the shoulder socket on the downswing (visible best on a DTL
view), but also have the shoulders still closed to the target line nearly
until impact or even slightly beyond impact, at times…
I’m going to the range RIGHT NOW.
Like if Ed Boon brought you here
Tom Watson has over 70 professional wins 8 of those being majors. I think
he knows where he is getting this “shit” from.

How ignorant this seems. Waste your comments elsewhere.
the laughing @ :30sec means “what a load of shit Tom”
Figured out the swing back in ’92; yeah, he really struggled from
1977-1983, especially over at the Open Championships…
classy dude speaks the truth
Well Jack Nicklaus won 18 majors. How about you Tom????

I am definitely a Tom Watson fan for his golf accomplishments and his
demeanor.

Tom is one of the best ball strikers of all time.
