mrfitness: are you kiddding or just an idot? It was 1974 - and Mr. Austin was 64 years old. There is no doubt about the facts. His playing partners included Chandler Harper, PGA Champion. He and his other playing partners testified to witnessing the event. The Guiness Book has very strict criteria and this record was verified to their satisfaction. Mike Austin was a rare genius on this earth - with Ph.D in Kinesiology and also degees in mechanical engineering and psychology. Look it up.
@BOATRIGHTGOLF Austin was a kineseologist, and he taught the swing via biomechanics. This allowed him to get away from instruction that was feel based, and more towards what is absolute. The skeleton outfit shows you what the bones are doing in the swing. The most notable example is what the hips are doing. Looks at his hips in the video.
@mrfitness2008 Where are your facts to disprove the record, the eye witnesses, and the fine people at the guinness book of world records? Oh yeah.. your just a passer through with an opinion and NO facts!
@1tontomato He may have done- but after his accident, Hogan swung the club in a way far more akin to the modern swing. Austin said afterwards that Hogan swung his driver like he was pitching. In Austin's own words: "a VERY short hitter."
