How to Swing a Golf Club | Sam Snead
In this golf lesson, Sam Snead and Golf Secrets bring you the best senior golf lesson and swing on KZread. Why is it the best swing for Senior Golf? Sam's swing was oily smooth with effortless power, using simple body mechanics that will not harm your body. Sam used every ounce of his body weight effeciently and effectively for max power and distance with zero strain on the body, making it the perfect swing to learn and enjoy well into your 80s. Sam's swing has no torqing or twisting of the hips (this damages the lower lumbar spine in other swing methods). This was how Sam was able to play competivly for so long. Sam still holds the record for the oldest senior golfer to make the cut at a US Open Championship at the age of 61. His golf swing isn't just the best for senior golf. It's the best swing to learn at any age. Sams swing is still being taught on tour today: The Worlds BEST Golf Coach Pete Cowen still teaches Sams swing fundamentals. If you study Pete Cowens swing for any length of time, you'll see Sams swing method being taught (especially seen in the lead knee during the squat). If you want to play into your 80s without any body damage to your spine, hips, arms, or hands... than you have found the right swing to learn. I have studied multiple swing methods over my 30 years of teaching, and I can honestly say that Sam's swing method is by far the easiest on the body and the easiest to learn.

Thank you, Sir. Have you tried the swing drill at the beginning of the video yet? If not, give it a go. I'd love to hear your results. 🍻
I came for Sams favorite drill and left with one of the best golf lessons I've ever had! 👏 👏 👏 Thank you! I'll report my results when I get some range time 👍

@therealgolfsecrets, well, it works and works well! No surprise to you though 😊 I can't believe how well it worked. I just pulled straight down and sat into my lead foot & the rest was automatic. The ball exploded off the club face effortlessly. I was definitely not getting into my lead side fast enough before. 👍

@therealKatsudoShashin Nice! Glad to hear it Katsudo & yes you're absolutely right. The golf swing only takes 1.5 secounds & most get into their lead foot far too late, causing a ton of issues. I like to say "sit down" as I squat into the lead foot. I say & do this immediately after I initiate the pull with the shoulder muscles. Having an effortless golf swing becomes a priority as we get older. 🍻
👍👏👏
