Amazing! 180 posts and not one mentioned the most successful golfer in history. Surely Jack Nicklaus must have had a decent swing to achieve so much.

IMHO, this question, GSOAT, can be interpreted as one or any combination of

  • best looking,
  • most technically sound
  • most effective.

Most effective involves swing & mental fortitude - that would be JN or TW of the Tiger Slam days.

Best looking is subjective.

Most technically sound - that I leave to the swing gurus.

I would want Adam Scotts swing. I love watching that dude swing his golf club. It's so smooth, powerful and beautiful.

I've always loved to watch Rory's swing, but I think I'd Hunter Mahan's. Pretty simple and consistent.

Hard to argue with that! [quote name="pumaAttack" url="/t/69199/if-you-could-have-any-pros-swing-whose-would-it-be/100_100#post_981400"]Rory McIlroy. Not even close. [/quote] For modern day, I agree. Beautiful swing.

I watched Paul Casey on the driving range yesterday on tv.. That is one simple, sweet, and repeatable swing


Posted
Sam Snead's swing.


Ditto here. Fred's is just as pretty so I could go either way. Maybe not technically as pure as some suggestions, but more classy for it.

And, both are lifetime swings.

    • Day 74: foam ball work tonight. Worked on slowing down and getting the feels to get the shoulder down. 
    • I was recently told that Turning Dtone in New York is a nice overall resort and they’ve they have 3 courses as well as many other amenities. A quick TST search turned up older threads with a lot of comments on how difficult the courses are. Does anybody know if they have “relaxed” the courses over the years or are they still hard as far as resort courses go? I do not mind a hard course but my wife can get frustrated but if good scenery and good course conditions she may still enjoy a hard course. What are your thoughts on their courses and the resort in general? Edited for typos  
    • Day 615 - 2026-06-09 Officiated in the morning and then did some Skillest lessons before getting some work in during a really long seventh inning (I think).
    • Day 280 6-9 low point control, practice missing towel. No ball, started to get the hang of hitting way in front of towel. Going to keep at it. 
    • Day 9 - (9 Jun 26) - Weekly nine hole session with my good friend, I played again from one set of tees up from my usual (set up the bag 4h, 6i-Pw, Gw, Lw) to focus more on iron play in the approaches (esp longer ones on the 4's and 5's).  Used the hybrid for tee shots only, had to play irons in from there on....made for a great work on course management and dealing with iron shots I normally don't see.  Key focus was on keeping ball in play, playing to distances that set up for either GiR or nGiR's.  Played a split nine (5 on the front, 4 on the back - the turn works nicely as both nines turn and run parallel coming in - easy to jump from 5 to 15 (especially when the course is not busy)).  Worked with my friend on his course management skills - offering thoughts as a "caddie" might and helping him to confidently choose and execute the shot he was seeing.
