I hope all is well with you, thought that was really cool Brian winning. It reinforces your knowledge of the golf swing and the game of golf. I always thought he would do great after learning from you. As for the most overlooked aspect of the golf swing, I still have to argue THE GRIP. IT IS YOUR ONLY CONTACT WITH THE CLUB. What I believe misleads almost all golfers is that they do not grip the club correctly in a Fixed Impact position. Most have the club pointed at their midsection at address. I fought this my whole life, too weak of a grip and laid off at the top. I had no choice but to Come Over the Top to square the clubface. I'll finish with this: I was fortunate to get one lesson from Harvey Penick when I was 14 yrs old and all he really changed was my grip to a stronger position. I tried it for a few rounds and did not spin the ball enough, or so I thought, so I abandoned it. "Oh what a stupid I am." Well, it only took me 28 years to realize my mistake. Mr. Penick was very specific: he said "The left thumb has to be on the right side of the club." I saw a lot of bad grips in 9 years of caddying and I always wondered one thing: Why do you see so many incorrect grips in golf when you do not see them in the successful athletes in tennis, bowling, baseball, darts, fencing, billiards, football, etc. It seems like the best of the best in golf have the best grips, at address and at the finish. Would love to hear your thoughts.
