The secret to golf ... By: MaxGravitas. on 22 May 12, 09:00:33 The secret to golf to be learned from this analysis is that your takeaway doesn't really matter because all that matters is how? you drop your hands low and on to plane to attack the ball. Fowler gives the lie to much orthodox golf instruction. Does't matter how you get to the top, all that matters is ripping into the shot low and flat and on plane.

Dosnt matter how ... By: Snybird86. on 20 May 12, 20:42:22 Dosnt matter how you swing! As long as your swing fits you and YOUR comfortable with it. Then there is no need to change it. Ricki has to have? an unorthodox swing because he hits the ball a mile and he is a small guy. you can swing like happy gilmore...if you shoot 65 doing it...who gives a SH**!

Question; what is ... By: watertonrivers. on 13 Apr 12, 05:27:10 Question; what is textbook technique? I have watched thousands of golfswings and I have yet to see a textbook swing. Just look a Nicklaus, Trevino, Chi chi Rodriguez, Miller Barber, etc. etc.? If you find a textbook swing, let me know, ok...LOL.
Look at his swing ... By: watertonrivers. on 13 Apr 12, 05:21:58 Look at his swing speed man, it's obvious he's using a stiff shaft and every pro? and good amateur does.

Haha, another myth ... By: MrLuigiFercotti. on 05 Mar 12, 21:04:18 Haha, another myth of the self taught player busted. However, smart instructors don't mess too much with unorthodox moves as long as the player gets the club on the ball solidly and reliably.
The joke is on all the hackers who want to do it "their way" but, still can't hit the ball worth a shit. Nothing? is more pathetic than some 15 handicapper not doing what the pro wants cuz he knows better.

Everyone was a ... By: watertonrivers. on 01 Mar 12, 06:16:45 Everyone was a protoge' of someone but his point is well taken and that is once you have the fundamentals down, you don't necessarily have to have someone following you around. So? tell me, did Lee Trevino have a steady coach and if so, who?
Nice analysis, I ... By: watertonrivers. on 01 Mar 12, 06:13:20 Nice analysis, I think that? once an individual knows the fundamentals they should think twice about having an instructor mess with their swing and psyche!!
Thanks Useeher. I ... By: purplegolf. on 15 Feb 12, 11:24:29 Thanks Useeher. I think the point is? that Rickie has quite an unorthodox action and isn't one of those guys who has a coach follow him around the Tour. That makes him pretty unusual and very interesting for us to study. There's more than on way to play this game!

He went to Oklahoma state University...I know? they have a very good Golf Team, you don't think he learned anything from that Golf coach while he participated in there.....I would wager that he would disagree
Sorry bro but ... By: viciousclarity. on 21 Sep 11, 08:45:28 Sorry bro but Rickie did indeed have a golf coach, his name was Barry Mcdonnell.
or "Big B" as we called him at the Murrieta Valley Golf Range. I worked there for 5 years in the mid 90's til 2002. Rickie started working with Barry? when he was just 7 years old all the way until Barry passed in May of '11. Barry was a big Hogan guy and showed those techniques to Rickie his entire youth.
