Golf Tips - Technique Example 1 Balance during the swing

A great clip of Fred Astaire dancing and playing golf at the same time. It takes great balance to achieve this and also the firm planting of the left foot prior to the start of the downswing. Listen and you will hear the tap of the plant and then the start of the downswing. The original Happy Gilmour???

Nice!!

Just so you know, this scene WAS all filmed continuously, and after the scene, when the crew went to retrieve the golf balls, to their astonishment they found all the balls within eight feet of each other. Proven fact!

Such poise - Fred is a great example that people from all sports can benefit from copying.

Listen to the club excellerate as it comes to the ball. I remember even when i was a kid and saw this how impressive it was. Now knowing a little about golf I appreciate how truly phenomenal it is. thanks for posting it

I read in a book I bought about ten years ago that after the dance routine, when the crew went to pick up the balls, all four of Astaire's iron shots ended up within about twenty feet from one another and all five of his tee shots ended up about thirty or forty feet from each other. I'm not kidding. I'll try to find the name of the book, if I still have it.

I show this clip to the javelin throwers I coach to let them see real rhythm in action. Talk about correct application of forces in a relaxed manner!

Fantastic. That, my friends, is a golf swing.
