I was wondering if you have read this book....he talk about how relaxed you need to be at address, with the arms, hands, and shoulders passive.....do you think that goes for the S&T; also, or do you think you have to use the arms much?

Thanks

I've read it , it's very good, maybe a bit self indulgent, his idea of the swing works, I've been trying different things then i stumbled on Paul Wilson golf on you tube. I realized he teaches the same thing. almost word for word. The differences are subtle like ball position George wants the ball in the same position off the left heal and you move the right foot accordingly, Paul moves the ball in the stance. George wants the hands together on the club palms opposite left hand thumb down the shaft at 12 o'clock, Paul wants the hand and thumb moved over to 1 o'clock. the point of both swings is to use the weight shift between the right and left to swing the club. George says to set the club flat on the ground and set up to that Paul says to toe up the club slightly. The natural swing works amazingly well. Paul's tips are very good, watch them and you get a very good idea of George's natural swing.  You really have to get zen on this as you have to de-learn everything you know and trust the force... centrifugal force... .it is very freeing

"The essence of the natural golf swing, then, entails connecting a starting position to a finishing position. The connection is best achieved through weight transfer and rotation, . . . neither of which can be fully realized without good balance."

There's a lot of good stuff in this book, Buy it, read it.

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
