What does this actually mean?

I will explain where the shaft goes in the back swing and why.

Having taught thousands of golfers of all standards for 59 years it still amazes me that people still say ‘ head up ‘ It is probably the most damaging phrase in golf and I will explain why.

It is amazing that so many golfers believe this to be true with absolutely no evidence whatsoever.

I will explain how damaging this myth really is.

The shaft may well return to the address position at impact for the very short shots but not for longer shots. I wil explain why.

Slow motion videos of the moment the ball is hit by the club head will show what really happens.

Dropping the hands down towards the right hip in the down swing is not what great golfers do.

Drawings in golf books can be very damaging as they can represent the ‘feeling’ of the author rather than what is actually happening in ‘their’ swing. I will produce some very convincing evidence.

An often repeated myth that is not factual.

Some golfers are taught to have the palm of their right hand facing to the sky at the top of the back swing as if they were holding a waiter’s tray. I will explain how damaging this myth can be as it is physically impossible in any good golf swing.

Timing is a word that is used all of the time in golf and I will explain why it is so misunderstood.

Muscles do not have memories and I  will explain why this myth is so misleading.

Practicing will not make your shots perfect. If it did the 60,000,000 + golfers in the world would only have to practice to become perfect.

Practicing with your feet together will not improve any part of your swing.

A wide stance will not restrict the shoulder turn. In fact a wider stance will make it easier to turn the shoulders and transfer your weight. I  will explain why.

I will explain why this myth is not true for all but the very longest hitters.

This myth is very easy to dismiss and I will show you why.

If your swing is incorrect and you slow it down it will still be incorrect. I will explain.

Your arms are obviously connected to your body but the relationship between your arms and your body will not remain the same throughout the swing. I will explain what actually happens in all good swings.

A golf ball hit with a draw may well travel farther but it will not travel farther through the air. I will explain why this occurs and why most successful golfers prefer a fade.

One cannot have a good tempo without good movements in a good sequence but is a good tempo even important?  Many brilliant golfers do not think tempo is important as I will explain.

One cannot produce rhythm in music, gymnastics or golf without a correct sequence of notes or movements.

Should you play the golf course or your opponent in match play? I will explain why I am sure the better strategy is to play your opponent.

I will explain that all shots simply need to be hit forward.

A great bit of ‘rhyming slang’. A few facts will convince most golfers that putting is important but very overrated.
