TRANSCRIPTS
-I'm Martin Hall. You're watching School of Golf extended library.
My book today Six Days to Better Golf by Obitz
and Farley is one of the very I ever bought
as a matter of fact. My father told me about
these people. He used to watch them; all the kings'
men they were called down in the Bahamas had a
wonderful exhibition. This is a super book for learning to
freely swing the club. I picked out 4 points here
that I think relevant. It's obviously a lot more than
4 in here that are relevant, but they also suggest
and I agree always start with a short swing. People
who are beginning the game should take short swing, little
quarter swings. They also called little brush, brush swing, make
solid contact with short shots. The arms swing the club.
The hands do not level the club. My goodness, I
wish I paid more attention to that one. I bought
this book in 1978. The arms swing, but the hands
don't lever the club, the hands sort of hold. They
talked about actually pouring ice over the hands and freeze
flash, so you'd have ice over the hands, and you
wouldn't crack that ice during the swing. That's a great
pick should to keep in mind, the arm swing freely
by the times the blade. So, it's actually the arm
swing freely back and forth. You're not trying to overly
control the club face with the hands and arms, but
either moving the bit quicker or a bit slower will
get the club to close a bit sooner or close
a bit later. And the last point and I think
this is good. You see a lot of good players
doing this. You'll see them with the practice swings. I
think Ernie Els, a lot one I see this. They
recommend taking lots of one-handed swings to feel the weight
of that swinging motion, right hand down the left-hand, down
the-- and in fact they recommend [unk], which ever of
the 2 hands is the weaker hand that's the one
you most work twice as hard. There's nothing positional in
this book. It's all about motion and is a wonderful
way to learn a true swinging motion. Thanks for joining
us on golfchannel.com for the best in golf instruction. I'm
Martin Hall. You've been watching an extended version of Martin's
Library. For more tips and drills to help your game,
tune in to the school of golf Tuesday at 7
p.m. eastern.
