When I took up this game of golf in the late 80’s, Jack Nicklaus’ incredible career on the regular Tour had wound down. He never won again after his triumph at The Masters in 1986.
By the end of 1986 (and ’87), Greg Norman was the #1 golfer in the world. Norman modeled his swing after Jack’s, who was a mentor of sorts, and one could see the similarities in their motions.
I can remember Jack talking about the left side dominance in his swing. He pulled with the left or “target” side of his body in the down swing. Norman also shared this swing trait.
Also in the late 80’s, Curtis Strange and Nick Faldo were establishing themselves as top 5 players in the world and they were stacking up major championships. Strange won back to back US Opens in 1988-1989. Faldo pocketed the 1987 British Open and the 1989 Masters.
Strange and Faldo were “right” side players. Their predominant power source was pushing or firing the club through impact with the right or “trail” side of the body. Their feeling in the down swing, at least as they explained it, was diametrically opposed to that of Jack and Greg!
I recall asking my Father, a solid recreational golfer, which player (or method) was correct. He calmly answered “They are both correct.” Well that answer Drove Me Nuts!
You see I assumed one method, either “pulling” or “pushing” the club, must be superior. And I didn’t want to waste any time or effort messing with the least effective method.
So I set out working on both the “Jack” and “Curtis” methods with bits of success with both. But my scores had settled in around the low 90’s with the occasional sub 90 round. I just couldn’t break through to the next level; my swing wasn’t quite repeating.
I detail in my book, “The Key To A Repeating Golf Swing”, the day I finally broke 80 (out in 44, in with 34 for a 78). I wasn’t exactly sure what had happened on that day but I knew one thing, the club was tracking right back though the ball at impact and my swing was on auto pilot.
Addiction to golf followed and my intense interest led to a career in the Golf Industry designing balls for the top players in the world. It was a dream come true in several respects.
While testing golf ball designs with touring pros, I also had a unique vantage point to view and “absorb” the best swings in the game as they sampled our new ball designs.
One day I noticed something that all these great swings had in common that I had overlooked for years. It was my “Aha” moment! You see, I had been focused on the wrong thing for years.
This discovery quickly led to a theory, some testing, and bang, the proof in my own game. It was real, it worked, and it transformed my game, virtually overnight.
In essence, I had (re)discovered The Key that had worked so well back on that autumn day years before when I broke 80 for the first time.
The puzzle was solved and my true Repeating Golf Swing was born.
You see it didn’t matter whether a golfer was pulling or pushing the club, or even a combination of both. It wasn’t the differences in the top pros that mattered; it was the similarities, especially in the down swing.
They were all performing The Key in the down swing, whether they knew it or not.
Since that day on the test range, I have had the privilege of teaching The Key to over 5000 golfers in 60+ countries, both in person and via the internet. The testimonials have been astounding and it gives me great pleasure to share my experience with eager, serious golfers.
