Freddy Couples, the guy that makes golf look easy. 

Here is a clip from the 1992 Skins’ Game. If you were to compare this clip to how Fred swings today (barring the bad back), you would see little or no change in the tempo of his swing. That sirupy fluid motion seems easy, but does truly pack a knockout punch. Fred was and still is one of the longest hitters on tour. With his controlled take away and his signature loop at the top, the magic transition move generates a massive amount of club head speed. He allows the club to build speed gradually. Just before impact, he fires his hips, creating a solid strike. We can learn from watching Fred Couples, a pure swinger of the golf club. I personally began to emulate his swing when I first started playing. It takes practice to trust and feel that you have plenty of time for your swing sequence to unfold. Bobby Jones would say, he liked to feel the club head throughout the swing. That’s a great way not to rush your golf swing. Still nowadays, I’ll watch a clip of Freddy to inspire my golf game. May he inspire you too…
