I'm new to the board and it really looks great.
I just wanted to let people know about a golfer whose swing theory I've started using at least for my iron shots right now and beginning to move it into my driving.
It is really the first time I have ever been able to hit irons consistently solid, especially the long irons, this has been really a amazing for me. Has improved my chipping and pitching 1000 percent, if that's possible.
I'm sure many of you may have heard of him, George Knudson who played on the tour in the 60's and 70's, mostly in the late 60's though. During the time he played he won 8 pga tournaments and came in 2nd in the Masters in 1969. Won alot of other tournaments in Canada, where he is from, and other countries.
Here is a quick link to short video about him.

What really makes him unusual is his swing method is totally different from anyone else's I have ever known.
The power of the swing and direction of the shot is controlled completely by your leg and body movement. The arms and hands are completely passive and only consciously did one thing, that is to hold onto the club.
It is unbelievable how this works and is very easy to do.
The swing is powered completely by the centrifugal force created in a weight shift of the legs and body turn, in the backswing and downswing.
If you are to look at the link to the video I gave above, it would be impossible to detect this, since it looks like someone swinging a club in a way you might expect to see.
Jack Nicklaus called the man with the "million dollar swing". Other people said he looked more like Ben Hogan than Ben Hogan did himself.
Sorry if I seem wild about this, but I have just started getting involved in his swing ideas and it has been a real revelation to me.
The book he wrote is called "The Natural Golf Swing". It was published in 1988. Unbelievably, tragically as a smoker most of his life he passed away from cancer at age 51, a year after the book was written.
The book has a great personal story of his life and how over the years he gradually developed his swing ideas.
What is kind of amazing also is after he finally put together what he felt was the best swing he could from everything he had come to understand about golf, along with the laws of nature and physics related to the golf swing and had his greatest successes' in the late 60's, because of his family and having three young, he left the tour. Nice to be with your family though.
He started teaching in Canada in the 70's and starting writing his book in the late 80's.
Here is a link to his book on amazon were you can read the reviews of the people who have his book.
