Tom Watson has always been my hero! He is the epitome of golfers everywhere. His honesty will never be in question because his actions and words are backed up with his sense of human dignity! Joey Vaughan "World Blues Attack"

I'm going to the range RIGHT NOW.

Wow. No. Just no. Tour players don't start the swing with just the hips anymore. They drop the hands and clear the hips at the same time. Super g proved that. So you're wrong there. And keeping the right shoulder back while leading with the lower body will create a flip hook, proved by biomechanics and Ben Hogan. Where are you getting this shit from? You're so wrong its crazy.

@GolfMatthew UH, yes 99% of people who try this will. Its a very poor tip for the average player. Sure, great swing thought for Tom. Not for your average slicer who'll be reading this...theyd be much better off thinking keeping the right shoulder back and moving just the lower body. But if your happy with it, go for it. Weight and set up has bugger all to do with what Im talking about

@cockywatchman1976 You're such an idiot.

[GolfMatthew]

@cockywatchman1976 Uh. No you won't. If your weight shift is proper, which Tom is assuming it is, then this is great advice. The ONLY way this will make you come OTT is if your weight shift and/or setup is poor.

I am definitely a Tom Watson fan for his golf accomplishments and his demeanor. 

[virtualbown]

Tom's main point is retain your spine angle through out the WHOLE swing. That is not bad advice. It's terrific advice and also quite hard to do.

This is exactly what I am working on!
