I'd like to know why folks think this is some kind of "bad" swing. Colin has one of the most fluid and solid actions in golf. Club golfers would kill for that swing.
@Goynes42 no kidding huh. i just got into golf a few months ago and the first time i saw his swing i saw a thing of beauty. sure, the club might be doing some different things but the rhythm is impeccable. i really like people who swing the club vs people who hit the ball. some of my favorite swings are monty's, couples', els', bobby jones', and snead's.
the word swing was invented BY monty... all others are striking, stroking, and shooting, but monty nearly has all them muscles relaxed---- who calls montys swing bad, should go back to tennis
For a long time instructors taught students to have the feeling you were “sitting” on a bar stool. I always believed we should have been teaching people to feel as though you were “leaning” back on a stool. The last thing you would ever want to do is sit in golf. Sitting will cause the golf club to swing too level to the ground in the downswing, and you will have a tendency to hit the ground behind the golf ball. w w w (dot) golferbreak80 (dot) c0m
colin was at middlesbrough muni a few years ago and we all found him a great bloke he bought a round of drinks when he came in and signed anything he was asked posed for photos with hte kids he could not do enough for the people that turned up to see him great guy i just think people are jelous
well said. Ive followed monty a 5 or 6 times and i am so sick of people slagging him off he may throw a tantrum now and then but thats monty, he aint goin to change now. at gleneagles few weeks ago i followed him for 2 rounds, on friday he played superb golf, a makable birdie putt on every single hole, people say he's miserable and he look like that but when he missed a short birdie putt he had face like fuck walkin off green but i seen him smiling and laughing with simon dyson 1 minute later
One of the most talented guys ever to play golf I think, just lacking in attitude perhaps. But who cares if he hasn't won a major, he's still better than most that have.
this guy is a bitch dude when he was at the 90th pga championship i was watching him tee off at hole 1 and he freakin screamed at a hole marshall that was designating where his ball is because he wanted to look for his own ball
are you kidding take a look at some of the alltime greats.. bobby jones, jack nicklaus, arnie.. the lifted front foot has been proven to be a very accurate swing but is extremely hard to master and control properly. thats why instructors and pros now days are teaching amateurs to eliminate this risky movement in order to make our swings more reliable and consistant. unfortunately the lifted front foot seems to be dying out but is still present in many older golfers like colin
great swing, great champion. maybe he hasn't won a major, but he's won tons of other things and he's a great ambassador for the sport. Few golfers are better, and even fewer hit the ball as well as he does. to say he's got a "worst swing" is just plain silly.
Everyone's swings are different, Colin has a great swing, very precise and fluid, how else has he become such a recognisable pro?! He's a great golfer, to say he swing isn't good is just nonsense. Look a Ernie Else, he is famous for having the most "lazy" swing in golf, yet he is one of the best golfers in the world.

Agree with you 100%. Followed him round the Wentworth pro-am recently and he was a top bloke from start to finish.
Just gets a bit uptight from Thursday through Sunday, sadly.
