@tadaa11 YAWN! here's my advice to you......keep sitting on the couch, you're obviously a pro at that.

@belknapdlg26 Wow, I made a typing error on YouTube. You are very easily entertained. 300? Is that down hill with the wind? And yes that's correct. I've met so many 300 yard hitters, it must be a short man thing. The funny thing is that they all seem to catch ED when they get to the course. Its OK it happens to every guy..

@tadaa11 huuuh? singing easy is for shit swings? cause they've got to time the chicken wing follow through? what be this mean't? good lord man, does "spell check", enter into your vocabulary? so let me get this into my thick noggin'. before i swing, i should sing easy.....like what? maybe a mel torme song? and then go have chicken wings at "kfc"? ok i got it, don't listen to Butch Harmon and i'll be able to sing, eat chicken wings, and drive a ball 300 yds. ok i got, no more explanation needed!

@belknapdlg26 Thanks for what ever that was? Don't listen to me, that's my point. Pros drive me crazy. They tell you to do all this CRAP and they have no idea, most of the time, how to turn a shit golf swing into a pro golf swing. If they cant teach you to swing like a pro whats the point? Don't think for a second that butch or any other teacher can have you hit the driver 300 yards. BTW, singing easy is for shit swings, cause they've got to time the chicken wing follow through

@tadaa11 And what makes you such an authority on golf? Do you have pro's beating a path to your doorstep and have the knowledge that Mr. Harmon has? Me thinks you're full of shat. I've read both your blathering blogs and if you think about all this b.s. when trying to hit a golfball, odd's are you'll miss it completely. Four things only, hands a bit in front of the ball, head behind the ball,eyes on the ball and smooth follow through. Don't make it so complicated!

Excellent

Read Below First. Don't ever let your arm and club angle decrease on the backwing. This doesn't mean pick the club up! That should help your balance on the backswing which will improve balance on the downswing.

Easy Pleasethe Out

[tadaa11]

Scooping the ball is a symptom not a cause. Telling people to move there weight forward on the down swing will not fix it and would probably cause them to hit the ground. Most often Golfers scoop the ball because they release the club early and this is caused by poor balance in the back and down swings or taking the club way out outside the plane, then laying the club off, so that there hands are on a very steep plane while the club is below plane. Again, out off balance.

I wish this guy could bottle all of his knowledge about this game. Then I could have a little sip every time I start a round. Good video.
