...what your swing looks like as long as you kick the arse of your opponent.

Isn't the rule of thumb that 80% of the game takes place inside 100 yards anyways?

I think an ugly swing can whup a text book swing any day of the week,,,,, if the six inches between the ears are working correctly

+1 Agreed. Man, Ole Grey do you ever say anything wrong?

There's a guy in my work league who is consistently in the top 5. He aims 45* to the right and has a HUGE over the top motion. Basically he hits a straight pull all the time: Driving, irons, chipping AND PUTTING. I want to say something but he shoots in the mid 70's everyweek and I'm having a hard time just keeping up with the guy. If you can repeat it.......

I have a buddy who pretty much does the same thing, when he is pulling them straight he scores well, when he begins to overswing and hit them every where it is really much worse than when other folks have an off day, he can hit them waaaaaaay into the trees right.

Yup, can't judge by the way a golfer dresses or by their funky swing but when they strike the ball the secret is out. Some of those homemade swings work very well for the inventor of the swing.

[limpoporanique]

Amen to that. A golf swing is only as pretty as it's results


Tap tap taparoo

[Coededgeme]

Amen! As long as you are consistent and enjoying the game, who cares.

[Hetgvwic]

Look at Jim Furyk.....nothing pretty about that swing.

[Adeniinteme]

No truer words have been spoken, who cares what it looks like as long as you can score.

[Kalobbis]

It's all about what position you're in at impact and if you can repeat it. I know a head pro who tried playing on the PGA and other tours for years and he plays a huge hook all day. The course he works at is setup perfectly for it too. He takes money off of guys all day, because they see him hitting huge hooks and think he can't control it, but he shoots 70-75 every time out there.

I have what I like to call the "avoid the keg" swing. I am sure you have heard about six pack abs, well I carry a keg. If I had a conventional swing, about 1/3 of the way through it I would hit said keg and never make contact with the ball. Another reason I am the walrus twin.

[Cogebrego]

As someone who scored pretty well with a bad swing for several years, you can get by with it from time to time. However, when it goes bad with a bad swing, it can go really bad. In a one round scenario anyone can win. Over time, give me the good swing and consistency. They will win more than they lose.

Furyk might have a funky looking swing, but it is not a bad swing. He puts the club in a good spot on the way down and hits the ball along the correct path. It's not like he is a local hack who made it big with the bad swing. Unorthodox? Yes. Bad? No.

As a student of the game, I appreciate a good swing when I see it.

However, when I see great short game...I'm mesmerized. Some people can flat out score, and I wish I could do that consistently.

[MrGunjMan_]

Freddy Jacobson. He's ridiculous from 10 yards in, especially last week when he won.

[Plonnikas]

All that matters is where the club head is at impact. It doesn't matter how it gets there.

I agree. When someome has a good shortgame it is definitely fun to watch except for when they are putting the dagger in your heart

I agree. Where would Jim Furyk & Jim Thope be if they couldn't use their ugly swings? Doesn't matter what it looks like as long as you can repeat it and it yields results. Many of the greats had a homegrown swing.

And it's always the day your hitting every green and fairway and STILL losing money.

just keep me out of the woods and let me do work!
