The Golf Swing Simplified!

After years of watching golfers struggle — and after spending weeks on the range thinking deeply about motion — I finally landed on a way to simplify the golf swing without dumbing it down.

This video breaks the swing into two jobs:

Throw.
Tug.

That’s it.

Most golfers struggle because their right side and left side are fighting each other — a constant tug-of-war that limits turn, ruins sequence, and forces compensations like coming over the top or early extension.

In this discussion, I explain how:

• The right side’s job is to swing the club back and throw it under
• Why one-arm swings reveal the correct motion naturally
• Why the right side wants depth and freedom on the backswing
• How limited turn often comes from overusing the left side
• Why throwing eliminates early extension automatically
• How Mo Norman’s “vertical drop and horizontal tug” fits this model
• Why the club must be thrown from under, not pulled from above
• How throwing creates space and clears the hips naturally
• Why the left side’s job happens after the throw
• How the last three fingers of the left hand create acceleration
• Why the left shoulder pulling up and around increases speed
• How this explains the high, balanced finish of great players
• Why this model works especially well for older golfers
• How this removes conflict between the two sides of the body
• Why this is the cleanest way to think about sequence
• How this framework produces effortless power and speed

This isn’t about copying positions.
It’s about assigning clear responsibilities to each side of the body.

When you understand throw and tug, the swing stops feeling complicated — and starts feeling athletic.

This framework has become my personal Bible for swinging a golf club, and it works.

In the next video, I’ll explain how to make the clubhead move faster — using a concept I resisted for years but now fully believe in.
