A fundamentally perfect setup. All of his lines are square (or parallel) to his target line.
As Stuart Gold starts his swing, notice how the club is well outside his hands and he already has great extension.
At the top of his swing, Stuart Gold has the club pointed at his target, he is on plane, and he is coiled nicely.
Big Break Greenbriers Stuart Gold has a bit of a steep angle of attack; notice that instead of the shaft of the club dissecting his right forearm, it is just above it.
After making contact with the ball, Stuart Golds right arm and the shaft of his club make a perfect line.
Just as he is on his backswing, and this part of his follow-through he is a bit upright, because it matches on both sides of the swing, he is able to hit the ball straight.
Big Break Greenbriers Stuart Gold has a great finish position, you can see both of his back pockets meaning he completely released his body, and maximized his distance.
