Paul Azinger says there are 3 fundamentals to the golf swing!

[chris3putt]

There are 3 secrets.

1. Swing fast.

2. Hit the ball on the sweet spot.

3. Make it go where you want it to go.

Easy peasy lemon squeezey.

BTW it's number 3 that Tiger lost.

Damn! Azinger's been lying to me, again!

In Five Lessons , Ben Hogan said there are eight, though Jackie Burke, Jr. said Hogan thought whatever he was working on at the time was a fundamental.

“That’s physically. There’s a mental side" Mr. Azinger says. I suppose the third might be the correct impact position, and/or control of the club head.  Mr. Azinger not sharing his third idea (secret) seems to me to be self serving.

I have a standing rule when listening, or reading about golf. If the word "secret" is a part of the title, or in the body of the of the article/conversation , it best to stay away from it, and/or the author.

I am all for timing, rhythm, and control in the golf swing. Those are my three fundamentals. I have a fourth, but it's a secret......Ah well, what the heck. It's not a secret because I am quite sure it has been discussed before, some where.  My fourth is, as I am starting my back swing, and during my down swing into the back of the ball, I am always seeing a mental picture of the ball flying to my intended target.

Azinger? He's got the secret to hitting ugly, low pull-cuts? No gusta.
