Tom Watson talks about his right hand

Congrats on Da Hawks by the way. They have a lot of fans up here. Hull , Makita...... The sweaters are the best.......the tv blackouts were the Wirtz. Cant believe you guys never saw Bobby on t.v. Is that right? Weird.

The orginal six have great sweaters Bruins, Rangers, Habs, Leafs, Red Wings - all classic.

So true mb.

There's a photographer up here, that has found a country in Africa, cant recall which one, that receives a lot of used clothes from Canada. Anyways the hockey jerseys are prized for their longevity, 10 years plus when worn every day apparently. And so this fellow has begun a quest to find and photograph every NHL team jersey as worn by a local. It makes for quite the juxtaposition.

Hey Hey Hey...

I'm not Tom Tomasello's nephew...however, I had the good fortune to study privately with Tommy back in October of 1993 (three day school mainly on swinging). Actually, I had a hard time believing what he was teaching me back then. I was stuck in thinking the lower body started the downswing. Starting in 2003, I made a dedicated effort to follow Tom's instruction exclusively. Today, I'm glad I did, the results are starting to really pay off.

Hi DG,

I'm just kidding around. It's nice to read your post. TT was a great and dedicated teacher.

Tom Waston's Lessons of a Lifetime DVDs just released are quite something. Not a bunch of how I play golf, rather a collection of how many ways there are to skin a cat. I was lucky enough to chat to him about it a few weeks back. Grip and Transition rank right up there in hanging anything together in a meaningful way.

Putting in the wind was an interesting section.

Do you mean hitting, DG?

When Swinging, in a full swing, pivot lag is essential, no?

Great stuff. Impact hands throughout swing. Maintain cup in left wrist i e geometric flat wrist. Solid stuff nothing goofy. Good discussion of grip and interesting how he sets up right forefinge ie pp 3.
