The beautiful rhythm of Tom Watson's swing has stood him in good stead throughout the five decades of his illustrious career. The "Duel in the Sun" at famed Turnberry with the legendary Jack Nicklaus is one of my all-time great tournaments.
A Great Swing Model.
THE most consistent ball striker over the last 5 decades is Tom Watson! His swing is a model that new golfers would do well to emulate. The keys come in the simplicity of his swing and the correct motion of the lower body, both back and through. In this video with Golf Digest, Tom stresses the importance of both the left and right knee action on the backswing. That patented knee action allows Tom to effortlessly transfer the weight to the back foot on the backswing, and then with a smooth transition, moves the weight forward onto the front foot. It would do any golfer a lot of good copying this motion!
Thanks to Golf Digest and Tom for sharing!
