 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.

The truth about golf instruction

 No matter where you are, where you go, or more appropriately, whom you
end up playing golf with, it seems there’s always someone nearby who I
like to call “the resident E.O.E. (Expert on Everything).” You know the
type. It’s the fellow who knows how to help you increase your net worth
and can explain how to install new copper pipes in your house without
having to cut drywall. This same guy also watches a lot of golf on TV,
and because he hears one or two commentators analyzing someone’s swing,
he assumes their advice is well suited for you, too.

Too often, I’ve watched golfers set up to the ball correctly with a
consistent routine, good alignment and solid posture. But in the last
few seconds of the setup, during the moment when the golfer takes a
last look at the hole, the setup falls apart, gets cockeyed and the
golfer can’t help but hit the ball any which way but straight. Sound
familiar?

 Part of being a skillful player is “reading” the situation, choosing
the right shot and then being able to execute that particular play.
Taking into account all your options is important, but most golfers
never consider the versatility the game allows. For example, when faced
with a bunker shot, most golfers think “blast.” But in some situations,
thinking “chip” may produce the better result. |

 Bad lies are one thing, but there’s nothing worse than a situation
where your backswing is completely restricted. The feeling of
helplessness can be pretty disheartening. For most golfers, the only
play is to chip back into the fairway—a momentum-breaker that’s not
going to help you if your goal is to shoot low numbers. But take a
closer look—you may be able to knock it near or even on the green if
you know this savvy technique. |

 When you desire a softer type of explosion shot out of the bunker from
this normally “hot” lie, you need to employ an open clubface and
relaxed hands. Make your angle of attack steeper by leaning your weight
toward your front foot. This weight shift also accentuates the digging
action of the clubhead, making soft hands and an open clubface that
much more critical. Otherwise, the golf ball will come out with more
velocity than desired. |

 In everyday life, we rarely use both hands to accomplish a motor task.
This is one of the reasons why putting with just one hand on the handle
can yield positive results.

 Unlike the golf swing, there are almost no centrifugal forces at work
in the putting stroke. Therefore, whatever you do at address pretty
much determines what you’ll do with the putter during the stroke. In
studying the best players on Tour, it’s easy to find common
denominators in both their setup positions and strokes. Obviously,
there are exceptions to every rule, but for the most part, common
traits run rampant in the setup positions of great putters.
Specifically, they establish four key setup lines. |
