I had commented a while back and mentioned again that in addition to the internet being a problem with Modern Golf, the lack of knowledge of kinesiology among the pundits, the former and current players was also a problem.

A Tiger Woods Clip Shows The Problem With Modern Golf – Internet Know-Nothings
I just came out of a Tiger Woods YouTube clip from 2020, and man am I depressed by the state of golf today.
I have wondered for a while what is wrong with Modern Golf, and I said recently in a comment that the proliferation of the internet in the 90’s was part of the problem.
A Perfect Golf Swing Doesn’t Destroy Your Body Pt II
I came across something today that is absolutely heart-breaking – I don’t know who this young lady is, but she is literally destroying her body in real time just swinging a golf club.
This is criminal behavior, teaching these golf swings to young and unsuspecting golfers – there is no way on this planet that an athlete this young should be falling to pieces just from the way they swing a golf club.
Hint – “Perfect” Golf Swings Don’t Destroy Your Body
I’ve shown the old school Classic Golf Swing players here forever, and if you ever wonder why I’m so negative in my posts on the golf swing, it’s because I can’t sugarcoat or gloss over what I see online or on the television.
If I have already pointed out countless times how one should swing, I have nothing left to do but point out the glaringly obvious problems in the Modern Golf Swing universe, in an effort to steer people away from it.
Modern Golf Re-Inventing The “Snead Squat” (Which Isn’t A Thing, By The Way)
I’ve been blessed in my life to not suffer from frequent or severe headaches (other than those from hangovers in my younger days), and that’s a good thing when looking at golf-related content online.
I hate headaches, and were I prone to them, I’m sure that I’d get them daily just consuming modern golf swing content.
If The Average Person Can’t Do It – It’s Not Proper Mechanics
I found a comment in a YouTube short that encapsulates the madness of the Modern Golf Swing in general, but also specifically the Flying Foot Syndrome.
Let me ask you, if you’ve been involved in any sports other than golf – as an “average person,” which I certainly am, what would you expect to be taught with regards to technique?
Do You Want To Play Golf As A Game Or As A Sport?
I originally posted this back during the pandemic lockdowns, but for some reason I removed it.
I am re-posting it as I think some people need to think about the question.
You may think it’s an odd question, but it’s a question for the serious, want to learn a proper swing person to consider.
Golf.com & AI Inform Us That Grass Is Green… 3 Tips For Irons
There’s nothing wrong with helping people improve their golf swings.
It is a tad disingenuous however in my opinion to present old and established mechanics principles as new and a result of “the advent of new technologies in the sport,” which is an exact sentence from the article I just read.
Or worse – it means that these basic principles aren’t being taught to beginning golfers.
Jake Knapp’s Power Source
Coincidences are funny, aren’t they? During my daily foray through Instagram and YouTube looking at current players’ golf swings, I ran across Jake Knapp, a 30 year old PGA Tour pro who stands around 180 cm (a shade less than 6’0″), who is a pretty long driver.
I was looking at his action and thought to myself, “A lot of power there, but I doubt very consistent, with what I see,” and immediately went to his profile on PGATour.com, which confirmed what I thought.
I Said It For Years About Tiger Woods, Now Jack Has Said It
Anyone who watched Tiger Woods dominate golf from 1997-2008 would know that it’s a very uncontroversial take to say that he could have and should have surpassed Jack Nicklaus’ 18 major titles, and easily.
I’ve said for years that Tiger probably should have won 25 majors due to his dominance, his talent, physical gifts and dedication to his craft
