This is my youngest son (13) Vincents Golf swing.

He Says that he doesn't play golf, but he shot a 32 on our par 29 9 hole course  during a School competition earlier this year.

He plays Quarterback with the 16 year olds in our lokal American football team, and says that he wants to focus on that, (he's really really good at that too).

I would like him to play more golf any thoughts on how to do that?

Any thoughts on his swing?

I love this game, most days.

He has a natural swing that Jim McLean talks about that kids and a lot of people do who have not had a lot of training. He takes the club back low and then makes the move to bring it down steeply into the slot. It's called a reverse slot move. There's nothing wrong with it. What is important is that he's finding the slot. McLean mentions three ways of finding the slot. My guess is that your son doesn't practice golf a lot either. It's just not an orthodox swing. If he doesn't want to play golf seriously, I'd leave it alone. It's a swing he doesn't have to practice much. According to McLean, you can play reasonably good golf with it.

I had never heard of Jim Mclean, so I looked him up on youtube, very interesting :). You are right he hardly ever practice golf :) thanks for the feedback :)

    • Day 319 - More mirror work, same focus on finishing higher and more towards the target. 
    • Day 135: worked on putting bead for a while with the 2 cups drill. 
    • Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff. 
    • Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.
    • First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
