In a perfect world, every shot in golf would be the same distance, and
we’d only have to use one club the whole round. Instead, we have 14
clubs to choose from, mostly made up of irons of different lengths and
lofts. Some instructors say that you should make the same swing with
every iron, play the ball in the same spot and, lastly, expect the same
results with each club. Well, I’m here to tell you that’s not
necessarily the case.
I often long for the days when Slammin’ Sammy Snead and Gene Sarazan
played the game, a couple of great sticks with personalities just as
bright as their games. Well, fortunately for golf fans, there’s a new
kid on the block and he’s brought a unique backstory and stellar game
(albeit with a modern flair). His name is Will MacKenzie, or “Willie
Mac,” as the 2006 Reno-Tahoe victor is sometimes called.
Considering the fact that Jim Furyk is the second best-ranked player in
the world and he’s in the top five on the PGA Tour in both driving
accuracy and greens in regulation, there’s really no need to take apart
and analyze the unorthodox movements in Furyk’s unique but effective
golf swing. Instead, let’s look at the good stuff we all can learn from
perhaps the most underrated major championship and 12-time winner on
the PGA Tour. (By the way, he’s definitely going to win a lot more.)
Here you’ll see Furyk near impact as he warms up during a crisp Los
Angeles morning at the Nissan Open.
There’s nothing in golf quite like making pure contact. If you’ve never
felt an absolutely pure golf shot, then you must keep reading, because
I’ve got a method that will allow you to achieve this magical feeling!
If you have experienced this sensation, then chances are it’s the main
reason that you’re hooked on this great game. And if you love golf, I’m
sure you’d like to learn to make that pure contact more consistently.
It goes without saying that the players who compete on the PGA Tour are
the best in the world. Not only do they have impressive natural talent,
but every guy out there spends a tremendous amount of time and effort
working on his technique, strategy and fitness. For those of us not
fortunate enough to be able to spend all day, every day improving our
all-around game, this opportunity seems like a dream come true. For the
players on Tour, however, it's a job that they take seriously, and one
that's both extremely competitive and tough.
