Are you going to change your mindset on the course? 👍 Like this video and COMMENT below if this new mindset has you pumped to play fun golf! Make the most out of the game you love by joining Tom's Online Golf School - saguto.golf/ AWESOME STUFF I USE/WEAR - visit: saguto.golf/p/store
I like how you noted the shape and quality of contact for each shot. I think I'm going to do that. At my current state, it will probably be a better indication of how my golf game is progressing (as opposed to my overall scorecard). Another great video Tom!
Tom, you started me going on the stack and tilt journey! Absolutely wonderful! Just shot another net 64. After two rounds of cancer and lack of energy, I cannot emphasise more that this system of learning golf is amazing. Thanks Tom
Wow!! Are they calling you "Tony the Sandbagger" yet??.... 😂😂 That's some seriously awesome playing, Tony. Thanks so much for sharing your success and for your kind words regarding my instruction content! Stay healthy, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!! Tom
Tom wants everyone to enjoy golf and be their best at it. His honesty, charisma and charm are main components, but his hard core techniques make it work. I’ve played golf for 25 years and (for me) I feel liberated, more confident and get pumped to out there…..I’m getting to like golf
Yeah, the mind is so powerful. Gotta forget bad shots as soon as they happen, they do not have to dictate your next shot. But they will if you keep them in your mind. Golf is not a game of perfection, there are just gonna be some bad shots and some that are downright ugly. Move on and enjoy the game and fresh air.
I truly appreciate your kind words regarding my instruction content and style, Richard, and I'm very glad to know that you are benefiting from the lessons, tips, and drills!! Now the mission is to get you over the hump from "getting to like golf" to having an absolutely great time playing the game! If you've not already done so, perhaps you might consider my online school as a means to accelerate this process for just $10/month or $99/year? Thanks again for your comment and for sharing your success, and keep up the great work! Tom
Tom I used to shoot in the upper 90’s and low 100’s. Since I started watching your videos, I now shoot in the middle 80’s. Thanks a ton, you have changed my golf to be more fun.
hey there, i have a coach and she is improving my golf but when i chanced upon your channel..,.. it’s just life changing! you gave me 2 tips and i tried those 2. My swing is a lot more consistent and ball strike omg omg. it went further and it felt good! 1. weight more on the left when i set up. 2. straight arm and push out your left arm when downswing This is just the beginning of just watching few episodes of your class! I have watched many many you tube golf channels and i am lucky to have found you. Thank you very much! I m from Singapore btw and it’s been a great pleasure to have met you online
Hi Jennifer, I truly appreciate your kind words and I am very glad to learn that my channel's instruction has benefited your game to such an extent!! You are obviously doing an excellent job digesting the lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!! Thank you so much for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and it is a pleasure meeting you as well!! Tom PS: By the way, I have two great golf instructor friends in your area who teach the same swing that I do. They are both at GOLFTEC Singapore. Their names are Rob Cheney and Nick Taylor. If you decide to visit Rob or Nick for a lesson please tell them that Tom says "hi"!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Monte, and I appreciate your kind words! The course vlogs are rather difficult for me to justify from a cost-benefit perspective. They take considerable time to record and produce, and they just don't garner anywhere near the viewership and interest in comparison to the lesson videos. I must keep the desires of my general audience in mind in this regard. That's not to say I won't do another at some point, but my primary focuses are supporting my online school and its members while creating quality instruction content for this channel's subs and visitors. Thanks again! Tom PS: By the way, would you like to learn some key aspects of the swing I use and teach in a more structured manner? If so, then here is a link to my FREE mini course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker”: go.saguto.golf/ It's a great way to gain a fundamental understanding of this system as well as an introduction to the instruction style that has thousands of men and women from across the globe - including many seasoned, low-handicap, competitive players and spanning all age ranges from junior to super-senior - enjoying the best golf of their lives: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews
Broke 80 first time last week shot 79 been playing 82 to 85 most of the year .last year before joining the school I couldn't break 100 thanks Tom it works I'm playing the best golf of my life.
Congratulations, Garry!! What a tremendous accomplishment!! Please take a moment to post that in the online school forum's "SagutoGolf Members Trophy Case" category. I'm thrilled for your success and appreciate you sharing it! Keep up the great work and have fun out there!! Tom
I guess I should also mention that my golf game has improved dramatically since I started watching your videos. My score was so far over 100 that I’ve never bothered to count it accurately. Now my average score is in the low 90s with a few scores dropping into the high 80s. Plus it is way more fun to play golf when you can strike the ball well. Thank you for what you’ve taught me.
That's some fabulous improvement, John, and definitely a testimony to your work ethic and dedication to the process!! Keep having fun out there - that's what this is ultimately all about!! Tom
I'm 75 and my golf pals are all old guys. Started using your method of play and I started using the senior tees. Some call them the ladies tees but I don't care we are having more fun playing the game now than we have in the last 40 years.
As I hope to have effectively conveyed in this episode, Steve, it's all about maximizing our enjoyment of this great game, and I'm glad to know that you and your buddies are doing exactly that!! Hit 'em well and have fun out there! Tom
Time to stand up for your freedoms.I know I am on this vaccine thing, they can give me the jab after they take my guns, but they will have to kill me first.
Dude. F-ing masterpiece!!! Loved this course vlog. Please do more of these. BTW. I have been watching your videos for about a year now. And totally rebuilt my swing. And I shot an 80 for the first time in my life. Had been a mid 90s shooter for 20 years before this. What you say works for me, but it took some commitment to fight through the change. Thanks I am loving the crisp ball striking.
I'm glad you enjoyed the episode, and I'll definitely produce more vlogs as the schedule permits! I'm thrilled to learn of your success with this method. You've obviously done an excellent job digesting the lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!! Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!! Tom
Tom- I always come back to your common sense approach to the game...IT WORKS! Difficult to describe how your simple (yet profound) style of teaching has made such a positive difference for me. I'm 64 years old and I can honestly say I'm playing the best golf I ever have! Can't wait to get back out and play again because..."life's too short to play bad golf!" Appreciate you man, thank you!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, Russ, and I'm very glad to know that you are benefiting from my instruction content and enjoying my teaching style!! Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great playing, and - most importantly - keep having fun out there!! Tom PS: Have you considered joining the online school and taking your game to the next level? That's where - in addition to detailed lessons and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step from setup to finish - you'll find diagnostic tools for identifying and resolving swing and ball flight issues when they arise as well as all my short game instruction, plus advanced level courses on shot shaping and power/distance. So many folks across the globe - including many seasoned, low-handicap, competitive players - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result.

had a good round round yesterday and when we finished and walking to the car my mate said what the hell is a saguto lol ( i kept saying saguto tilt every shot apparently ) beat him by 11 shots its normally close im going to wear out the replay button on this video so entertaining cheers mate
To answer his question, "a saguto" is a thing one deploys whenever one desires to beat the absolute living snot out of his golfing mate.... 😂😂 Great stuff, Scott, and I'm glad you enjoyed the episode as well!! Tom
This channel is the best. It helped me. I'm shooting 80 my best. I almost got a 79 but at the last hole 18 I sliced one into the trees. Great fun and I know exactly how tom feels about golf. Its so great to hit a crispy chicken buttery biscuit shot and watch the ball fly towards the target
Very nice, Douglas!! The 70's won't be evading you much longer....😎 Keep it crispy, buttery, and mashed, and most importantly - keep having fun out there!! Tom
Tom just wanted say thankyou for the great videos and swing tips. I have been playing much better and i am in a golf happy place lol because of you. I cant thank you enough. I was scoring in the mid to high 90s all season, and shot an 86 a few days ago! I am totally psyched to play, and think about golf every day. I am in NJ, but i will mow your lawn rake leaves whatever you need as a token of my appreciation lol Have a blessed golf day! Ps im 60 yrs young and have been golfing for 35 yrs. With this instruction i am confident i can consistently score in the 80’s and hopefully 70’s soon. I will be joining your online school.
Hey Rob, yes on the school. Best money I've ever spent concerning my golf game. I also enjoy the forum where there is interaction and Tom takes the time to answer any questions.
I truly appreciate your kind words, Rob. I'm thrilled for the improvement you've experienced through my channel's instruction content, and I look forward to seeing you in the online school! With regard to the school, here's a little bit of preliminary advice as you get started: 1) It is crucial to take sufficient time to master the fundamental components of the first couple of chapters! I cannot emphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when a student jumps ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating himself/herself to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built. Please have a look at this introductory video if you have not already done so: saguto.golf/courses/1166020/lectures/30347767. 2) One of the many great things about this swing is that you can achieve solid ball striking even at the most basic levels. This is why I oftentimes will suggest that students park themselves on Chapter 2 of the Golf Swing Simplified course for an extended period of time after locking down Chapter 1's foundational elements. Chapter 2 reinforces the body motions and the weight-forward component, and it culminates with what I call "The Best Golf Swing Practice Drill of All Time". Work yourself sequentially and gradually through the chapter, and then commit yourself to that drill in Lesson 2.8. Learn it. Practice it. Master it. You can even use this partially abbreviated swing on the course and play quite well with it as it will provide plenty of distance. (It actually is the full swing minus just a couple of power accumulators.) Once you've got that down, you will be well prepared to move forward in the curriculum and well on your way towards taking ownership of YOUR swing! 3) Also, as you progress always keep in mind the V1 Swing Video Analysis service, an effective and inexpensive service that I highly recommend to everyone in the school. I liken it to bringing your swing into the shop for a tune-up or minor repair. Scheduling one on a quarterly basis for preventive maintenance will do wonders for keeping things humming along nicely, and it's also a great tool for pinpointing and resolving any issues that arise. The process involves downloading the free V1 app and then submitting two videos to me through the app - one down-the-line (captured from your stance line, not the target line) and the other face-on. You'll find more information about the V1 Analysis halfway down this page on the Saguto.Golf site: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolf 4) Finally, as @Doug mentioned, please migrate over to the new “Office Hours” forum - which is included in your online school membership - and begin engaging with other golfers in the SagutoGolf community. It only takes a minute or two to enroll - just go to your “My Courses” screen and you’ll see a link to get started. Once signed in you’ll be able to access and participate in the great dialogue that we are having on a variety of topics. You can start discussions, contribute to existing threads, post specific swing questions, make some new friends, and just share in the common bond of golfers from around the world seeking to improve their games and help others to do the same. I monitor the forum regularly and am a frequent participant in the discussions, including assisting with swing-related inquiries. I really think you’ll enjoy it! I look forward to hearing from you regularly in the Forum and to assisting you in building a consistent, low maintenance, powerful, body-friendly swing that will bring your enjoyment of this great game to a new level! Thanks again for your message and have fun out there!! Tom
This was great! I haven't watched this before! I like how you have fun and I never thought about making a two putt max for bad greens. Can't wait to see more of these videos!
Fun video Tom! I’m gonna watch this all winter up here in Illinois. I started using your method mid-summer. While it is hard changing from my old swing, the results speak for themselves. Solid contact is so important. I’m donating all my old golf books to Goodwill! Also not watching any other TH-cam instructors. Throwing all my golf eggs in your one KFC bucket.
Keep those eggs incubating in that bucket, Michael, and they'll hatch into some extra-crispy KFC for you!! I understand that those ghosts of swings past are stubborn and do not go away without a fight, but if you embrace the process and commit yourself to doing the work you will conquer them. Thanks for your kind words and dedication! And with regard to those typically harsh Illinois winters, keep in mind that there is a robust Indoor Training Program in the online school to help sharpen your skills while you are confined to quarters. Cheers! Tom
Thank you Tom! My brother told me all about you and you have completely transformed my game. I picked golf back up at 50 years old after years off and wanted a swing with crispy contact, a divot and NO over the top weak fade/slice. Everything you teach me totally works. My main struggle is trying to unlearn bad habits from years of bad instruction. Thanks again and keep teaching us golf in a way we can all actually learn and apply!
It's my pleasure, Scott! I appreciate your kind words, and please thank your brother for you in my direction!! I'm very very glad to know that my channel's instruction is resonating well with you, and that through your dedicated effort you are now on the path towards crispy compressed ball striking bliss. Yes - those “ghosts of swings past” do not disappear on their own, and if you are transitioning from a previous swing method that involved shifting weight into your trail side and/or lifting the club with your hands they may take some time to exorcise. But you will conquer them through patience and proper repetition. There is certainly plenty of great content in this channel to help you through the process, but if you are looking for a more structured learning environment to fast-track yourself - and assuming you have not already looked into it - please consider my online school for just $10/month or $99/year. Here's a link if you'd like more info: saguto.golf/p/golf-swing-simplified-tom-saguto-pga Thanks again for your comment, and welcome back to this great game!! Tom
Great attitude! Thanks Tom for the great advice! I don’t play Golf to make a living. I play Golf to have fun! I really appreciate you sir for helping to have a better golfing attitude!
Thanks so much, David!! "Fun" should be what this is ultimately all about for 99% of us, and I'm very glad to know that my content and style in that regard are resonating well with you!! Cheers! Tom
I like it when you remember to state what club you are hitting and the strategy to the hole… like run it up or something different than a flight to the green. Thanks Tom.
I was one of those golfers who always shot in the high nineties and sometimes over one hundred. Since learning Stack and Tilt from Tom at the beginning of the warm season, I now shoot in the mid-eighties to low nineties. I found a way to practice indoors (for the winter) with a Tracman setup that I can rent, like going to the range. I firmly believe I can get to the low 80s with continued practice and instruction.
Well done, @Theophilus - I'm very glad to know that S&T is working well for you!

I really enjoyed the play-by-play commentary. I hope you do more of these. You taught me the stack-n-tilt swing, and I'm hitting a bunch more fairways now. Thanks Bro !!
I'm glad you enjoyed the episode, and I'll definitely do another one as soon as the schedule permits! I'm very glad to learn of your success with S&T. Thanks for sharing, keep up the great playing, and have fun out there!! Tom
this is the second vlog Tom i watched i just love your honesty, because on your TH-cam vids on the range it looks like you could hardy ever hit a bad shot. now two vlogs in you show how hard and fun this game is. keep it up bud
I have been golfing for 6 years. I have been an 18 handicap for the last 3 years without much improvement with any changes I made. I have used stack and tilt now for the last 6months. Last week I actually started hitting draws with my Irons for the 1st time. Great feeling!!
That's a fantastic and significant development, Shawn!! Nice job sticking with the process and incorporating the lesson content into your swing. You are now on the path to the extra crispy buffet of ball striking bliss!! Keep up the great work and have fun out there!! Tom
This is only the second golf video I was ever able to watch of someone else playing a round. This and Kyle berschier whose pretty fun to watch too. Bit this was very entertaining. Keep it up man.
Still a work in progress but golf is so much more fun .Thank you Tom for saving me from all the other so called teachers who filled my head with confusion.
Unfortunately, Mark, such sorcery from this dark underworld of golf instruction rarely finds its way to the mainstream because if too many folks found out about it the mainstream would then be rendered irrelevant....... 😎 If you'd like to get on the fast track perhaps you might consider the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school? That's where - among many other courses and lessons covering various aspects of the game - you will find very detailed instruction and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step from setup to finish.

Thanks For the link Tom, I totally trust the TS way, I am all in! You certainly gave me hope tho with a couple of push draws. blew 5 holes yesterday with push draws into the rough, 5 lost balls! I refused to let it define me tho and trusted in my swing. Nice couple of swings at end to balance my mind! Please keep up great work, I am a disciple and always will be
My pleasure, Simon! I'm glad you enjoyed the course vlog - including some overcooked draws just to keep it real 😎 - and I appreciate your ongoing support!! Tom
I'm glad you liked it, Chandler! While I enjoy doing them, the course vlogs are rather difficult for me to justify from a cost-benefit perspective. They take considerable time to record and produce, and they just don't garner anywhere near the viewership and interest in comparison to the lesson videos. I must keep the desires of my general audience in mind in this regard. That's not to say I won't do another at some point, but my primary focuses are supporting my online school and its members while creating quality instruction content for this channel's subs and visitors. Thanks! Tom
@@SagutoGolf Thank you Tom! I subscribe to your lessons last week and it literally saved me from giving up on this sport. Really loved your simple methodologies and explanation. I try to watch 2-3 videos every day and practice on them. The result is just amazing…do you offer any online private lessons?
Tom, I can't thank you enough. Your teaching style and communication somehow allow me to "feel" much better what a good swing should be. I shave off a few strokes off each round since becoming a subscribing Saguto golfer. 113 to 106 to 95 in 3 rounds. Low 80's here I come!
Wow Ken - that is AWESOME!! I truly appreciate your kind words and I am very glad to learn that my channel's instruction has benefited your game to such an extent!! You're obviously doing an excellent job digesting the lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!! Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there "going low"!! Tom
Very nice outlooks in playing golf...What i like the most: the next shot is the best shot, don't be tied with level -headedness...Thanks a lot. Keep it up Tom ...Cheers!
I am glad to know that you enjoyed this on-course episode, @Paterno Borlagdan! Yes indeed - a proper mindset is critical to consistently good playing. Thanks for your comment. Have fun out there!! Tom
Thanks Phil - I'm glad you are enjoying the content!! And by the way, I appreciate you referring to me as a "regular guy". That doesn't happen very often....😂😂😂 Tom
Love the 2 putt max on punched greens! Great point about using one club for most of your chips.. it’s what I do - and use my gap as well. Kindred golf… 😝⛳️
Tom always love your enthusiasm and positive attitude. Nice to see an instructor take it to the course. We all look good hitting into the net. Your 3W and Driver are amazing. Really wish more folks could see the value of your school, it's just very well organized, you can review videos or sections where you are needing a little help. I'm so lucky as you know I picked up the game in 2020 after Covid restrictions were lifted, didn't have a clue about swinging a golf club. S/T just feels comfortable and natural, no pain. Glad I stumbled across your TH-cam channel and signed up for your online school. So when I started I was in the 110-115 range, I don't like to "brag" but wanted folks to know because of your teaching S/T my best score has been 88, last weekend was a 90. Thanks Tom, keep up the great instruction!
Hi Tom, As I've mentioned to you here, in the online school Forum, and in person, your dedication to the process and your work ethic have put your learning curve on a nearly vertical track. From having never swung a club to breaking 90 in a year's time primarily through self-guided instruction is truly outstanding, and I am very excited to see you progress further as you build in the finer points of the game! Thanks again for your very kind words for sharing your ongoing improvement. I truly appreciate you being a most willing and unsolicited spokesperson for the online school!! Tom
Been waiting for a vlog like this, love to see what goes on in the mind of a pro. Slightly weird watching your mind work before 9am on a Sunday in England tho lol!! Don't beat yourself up is one of my worst elements, great advice to work on this! Love it
85 today, a bunch of 3 putts, I hit my irons extra crispy. I was in a nice groove when my left shoulder hit my chin on my back swing. Can’t wait until next weekend
You’ve really helped me, Tom. Thank you so much for making the game much more fun. I’ve had some back problems (old age) and haven’t got to play in awhile, but I watch your instructional videos and try to keep it embedded in my memory, still (old age), 🤦🏻♂️
I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you, Rickey, and I appreciate your support in sharing your improvement and enjoyment! By the way, you may be interested to know that a significant percentage of my online school members are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, arthritis, and joint replacements - and they are overwhelmingly elated to experience the dramatic pain-free game improvement, seemingly effortless power, and resulting enjoyment that this swing affords them. It all begins with a proper setup which provides for a free-flowing motion. Upon that good foundation a repeatable swing which produces consistently crispy impact can be built. Have you looked into the comprehensive, sequential learning platform of the online school yet? That's where - among many other courses and lessons covering various aspects of the game - you will find very detailed instruction and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step from setup to finish. Thousands of men and women from across the globe - including many seasoned, low-handicap, competitive players and spanning all age ranges from junior to super-senior - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result, and I'm happy to let their unsolicited testimonials tell the story: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews. And if you'd like to first "dip a toe in the water" prior to diving into the school, then here is a link to my FREE mini course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker”: go.saguto.golf/ That is where you can learn some key aspects of the swing system I teach in a more structured manner. You don't need the flexibility of a Romanian gymnast - or even of this far less pliable golf instructor - to execute this swing, experience great ball striking, and reclaim - or even exceed - yardages from years past. I hope you'll give the school some thought. Thanks for your message! Tom

Thanks, Tom
I've definitely improved with watching your instructional videos. Getting a new fitted driver has helped immensely keep me out of trouble spots. I still hit that occasionally but I'm no professional,and I do keep the last shot behind me trying to make my next shot better. I'm capable of low to mid 40s I've done it,many times it's long irons that fail sometimes my chipping and lots of putts.always room for improvement for sure,I certainly appreciate you're style of instruction so thank you

My really good round was in the low 80s and my average round was mid to high 80s and bad round being low 90s to even I can get to high 90s now my average round is low 80s. I have broken 80 several times before but I stay in the low 80s bad round being high 80s. I also get at least 2 birdies every round. But last time I was out I adjusted my swing a little bit and now I think I'll be breaking 80 on a regular. I was hitting so much further the guy in the group in front of me called me John daly lol. This guy really helped me out among some other videos.
That's fantastic! I'm glad to know that you have benefited from some of my channel's instruction content. Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!! Tom
Yep Tom. It’s clear we want more of these. It’s the next step after learning how to swing consistently. You have think consistently too. Plus it’s the only way to 9 with you!
Thanks Tom. Love to see a 9 hole Vlog. I have been making progress, though slowly. I’ve had a couple of rounds in the 80’s recently. I’m hoping to be there in every round by next season. I have found that even if I can’t hit the green, if I can get AROUND the green in regulation, I can often do no worse than bogey.
Glad you enjoyed the episode, Bob! Thanks for the progress update. Your goal for next season is most definitely in reach. Consider that - on a par 72 course - all you need to do is par just one hole and bogey the other 17 to break 90; you are essentially already there! And once you're consistently in the 80's don't be scared when you find yourself in position to actually break 80, because those opportunities will present themselves on days when you're on or near the green and the short game is really clicking. Keep up the great work and have fun out there!! Tom
I'm glad to know that helped your iron play, Matthew! It's really the same swing with the driver and woods - just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods. (In fact, here is a video of Stack and Tilt co-founder Mike Bennett hitting the driver: th-cam.com/video/7fmtzyH3rsA/w-d-xo.html. It looks very similar to his iron swing, right?: th-cam.com/video/SLjwU_1Cc7o/w-d-xo.html ) If you do a search on this channel you'll see some content on the driver and fairway woods. Upon learning this swing properly you will be harnessing the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum". This is the reason my students and online school members of all age ranges end up bombing it farther than they ever had previously.

I have found this year my mindset has improved a hell of a lot on the golf course Yeah I still get dissappointed missing a putt or not making Crispy contact with my irons But I ain't going down the road of having a meltdown emotionally on the course Being a bit more accepting of my "limited" abilities is making golf much more enjoyable Today I shot a 91 off the stick which was a Nett 78 for me It weren't a great day out there and I made a few mistakes But the thing is I stayed happy on the course
It's all about keeping things in the proper perspective, and it sounds like you are doing that quite well now. For those not making a living at the game, golf is essentially a challenging pastime, and as such it is meant to be enjoyed. Sure - an occasional frustration can creep in , but if it's 4-5 hours of misery then why bother?? Let's HAVE FUN out there!!! Great job doing just that!! Tom
Love watching your videos, great tips and info, and not boring, your videos have made my son start playing and enjoying golf to, keep up the great work Tom
I appreciate your kind words regarding my channel's content, Randy, and I'm thrilled to have played a role in making golf a family affair in the Swartz household! Have fun out there with your son! Tom
Love your craziness and humour and that you tell everyone we need to keep the game enjoyable. I’m a 14 handicap and it’s my brain and life that affects my game !!! Need to treat it as a good day out ! Very refreshing, keep it up 👍
When you gnaw that crispy chicken down to the bone, Paul, that's what this is really all about - maximizing our enjoyment of this great game!! Thanks so much for your kind words and support!! Tom PS: By the way, here's a link to my FREE mini-course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” in case you’re interested in checking it out: go.saguto.golf/
Thanks @christopheles - I'm glad you enjoyed the course vlog. I've done a couple of these in the past and will definitely do more as the schedule permits. Cheers! Tom
Saguto has absolutely helped me. While I don't currently use stack and tilt when driving (though I should), I do use it with my irons and now I hit greens often. It's such a great feeling! Obviously hitting greens is how you consistently get more pars and birdies, which will put you right in the 80s if not better! (of course there the occasional bogey or worse).
I appreciate the kind words, @DJ-Flights, and I'm very glad to know that S&T is performing well with your iron game. While the driver typically takes a bit longer to master, I can tell you with certainty from personal experience that it's worth the process. I hit it so much longer and straighter now than I ever did in my best days of shift & lift, and that equates to many more pin-seeking crispy short irons per round. Translation: 70's if not better!! 😎 Keep the great work, and let's get that driver dialed in!! Cheers! Tom
@@SagutoGolf I've actually been trying it with my drives. It feel less chaotic, I will keep going with it. I just need to feel the power and crack the whip, I think I need to make it flow a bit faster once I'm starting transition.
@DJ-Flights - I'll share with you some kernels of wisdom regarding the common issues when folks are KFC crisping their irons with S&T but are still trying to dial in the mashed potato drives: 1) They don't start with - or maintain - enough weight on the front side. In general with the longer clubs we should add a little more front weight load at address - more like 60/40 instead of the 55/45 prescribed for the other clubs. This forward weight should gradually increase to the top of the backswing (70/30) and build further on the downswing - approximately 80/20 halfway down, 90/10 impact, and 95/5 finish. 2) Their hips are not continuing their lateral slide through impact. This is common with the longer clubs as the wider stance means that the hips have a greater distance to travel. If the hips stop moving laterally towards the target on the downswing then their rotation takes over, changing the low point and rerouting the club. This can produce a variety of undesirable results including fat and thin contact, topped shots and popups, straight pulls, and “banana” slices. 3) They are not allowing the length of the club to dictate the backswing path and are getting too steep as a result. The shaft length of the longer clubs encourages more of an around the body backswing as established by the shaft plane at address. It may "feel" flat as you take it back along the shaft plane for the first few feet, but as long as you maintain the "weight forward, shoulder down, and hands in" components while allowing the club to work around you, it should put you in the proper position at the top so you can attack the ball from the inside. While there's much more detailed lessons and drills designed to help with this in the online school, you should be able to find some helpful content here in the channel. Here's to Bombing it! Tom
@@SagutoGolf Thanks Tom! Yes I've been working on it lately. I re-watched your Guide to driving and tried out some things with a few balls on the range after a game. I realized I had the ball too far forward and moved it a clubhead length behind the front leg like you said in the video. With the new position, I found I had space to bring back bowing the left wrist (wring the towel when starting the downswing). All I can say is wow! The ball jumped off the driver better than any shot I had all day, just from fixing the ball position and bowing the lead wrist. I only got to try it with 3 hits and had to leave, but I'll be continuing with it this weekend. I also realized my right arm needs to work in a different way through impact, which I can more easily feel now with the bowed wrist. I've found some great new feelings dry swinging all week. I'll be trying out this new stuff at the range this weekend. I really think I'm about to have a distance and consistency breakthrough. I might post a video if/when it happens. I think my long swing change is finally about to be complete. Thanks for all the help! (and I was a member, it was helpful)
@DJ-Flights - I can't tell you how many times folks - admittedly, including myself - have completely reengineered their good, highly functional swing to disastrous results when all they really needed was to tweak something in their setup (i.e.: ball position). I'm glad to know that you figured this out and are now on the cusp of ball striking bliss. Great job!! Tom
Your best video ever …. great to see your thought process as you play. The 3 wood was the right selection, especially when you are out just playing. I have a friend who always says - I hope to hit a hole in one today, I have started thinking that on every par 3, haven’t hit one yet but one day I will. Watched a show about the orange whip golf trainer. It appears they put to much weight on the back foot and pick up thier head a little when they swing. Plus you say the truth is in the dirt (Ben Hogan), they don’t really take a divot - no truth in that swing. Thanks again for a great video.
I'm glad you enjoyed the course vlog, Adam! I'll definitely try to do more of those as the schedule permits. Yes - 3 wood was the right club, and with my usual shot shape I'd have been putting or chipping for eagle. I just pushed it a little too far right and it didn't want to come back enough. Oh well, the potential reward was worth the risk. I love your par 3 mindset and I look forward to hearing from you when you card that first ace! Cheers! Tom
Thanks Tom, Nice to see that even YOU are not perfect. But since I have joined your group I have consistantly broken 90 (with an occasional hiccup).I have gotten compliments from better golfers than me, that I am hitting the ball much straighter now than ever before. Thanks for you help. Doc Martin
I may be a variety of things, Doc, but "perfect" is definitely not one of them!! I'm thrilled for your success and I truly appreciate you sharing it here. Keep it crispy, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!! Tom
Fun episode. I choose to laugh on good and bad shots. Hell...I'm able to be retired, taking up a stupid game, and hangin' with my bandmates on a beautiful yard for 4 hours of juvenile behavior...and the beer always tastes great afterwards. Do I have goals? Of course. I am out to have fun no matter how I hit...which for now is pretty inconsistent. Going into the water but the strike felt great? That's a good thing...as long as I can remember how that felt great and can do it without water in the way! Rock it up, Tom! Thanks for helping get my swing closer to where it needs to be. Sorry man...no gimmes.
Aww.....c'mon, Rob! All that carefree fun and then "no gimmes" on greens that roll like the surface of the moon?? Really??.......😂😂 I'm glad you're enjoying my instruction content and having a blast out there with the bandmates. Keep up the great work and rock on!! Tom
We're not out there playing to make a living, so if we're not having some measure of fun - whether it be in time spent in a beautiful outdoor setting, the camaraderie, and/or enjoying the challenges of this great game - then what are we doing, right?? That's not to say that we can't or won't get frustrated with ourselves from time to time - after all, it is a very difficult sport - but the overall experience needs to be worthwhile and satisfying, Glad you enjoyed the vlog!!
Tom I loved this so much, thanks for linking me to it. You are a breath of fresh air in the golf world and should be celebrated. I also think your hair is AMAZING
Great vlog Tom. Love your brutal honesty, and optimism...as well as your general rambling about life in general...like being in your head, which is better than my head. I would like to see a new vlog since your fitting the other day. I'll be hitting the range on Sun, and putting the Saguto Swing in action...fo real. Will let you know how it goes...peace bro
Loved this video, Tom. Yes, please do more of these. I especially loved the advice about enjoying the good shots and not fretting too much about the bad shots. To me, crispy contact is the most satisfying part of the game, regardless of what I shoot. As you can tell from this comment, my putting sucks, but no matter; I still have a lot of fun when I hit the ball well. I have more fun shooting 80 when I hit 12 greens than 79 when I hit only 6, but chip and putt like crazy. That's not very satisfying.
I'm glad you enjoyed the episode, Jim. And I wholeheartedly agree about the level of enjoyment garnered from a day of great ball striking, however it does also behoove us to shore up the other parts of our game so we can go low on those extra crispy days yet still scrape together a decent score and get some satisfaction from rounds when the A-game decided to stay home. I'll definitely be doing more course vlogs as the schedule permits! Have fun out there! Tom
totally enjoyed this, as a fairly recent saguto student its a great insight to your personality, you are a true pro tom, and you are so open hearted with it, i believe those two qualities put you in a good place mentally, a great example we can all learn from ,not just the crispy shots😇👍
You are far too kind, William. I'm thrilled to have you onboard, and I am so glad to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from my instruction content and teaching style!! Tom
Wow - that's phenomenal, Paul!! I'm very glad to know that my instruction content is resonating well with you. You've obviously done an excellent job digesting the lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it. Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!! Cheers! Tom
Buzzing for this been hoping you would be on the course more.. got the car fixed went to the course shot 107 my best yet been from 140 down to 107 got my first par should have had 3 but lipped out
I agree with a lot of what he’s saying. I think he can help a lot of people. He has a small reverse pivot that needs to be cleaned up, but I love this guys attitude and positivity.
I appreciate that! But I must clarify with regard to what you believe you are seeing in my swing. I know it sounds like a strange concept to those who have only ever subscribed to a swing model that is based on shifting weight from back to front, but I assure you that this swing is anything but a reverse pivot! Yours is a good question, though, because it represents an often-misconstrued notion and occasional invalid criticism of the Stack & Tilt swing, and as such I always appreciate the opportunity to respond and clarify. You start with your weight forward (55/45 on the front side; 60/40 for the longer clubs), increase that same weight forward to the top of the backswing (70/30), and further increase the forward weight during the downswing from halfway down (80/20) through impact (90/10) and to the finish at 95/5 forward. There's no "weight shift", therefore - unless one were to fall backwards - there's nothing to reverse or pivot!! And the result is a centered, low-maintenance, body-friendly, consistent, and tremendously powerful swing! Cheers! Tom
Awesome! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work, Stella. The distance will follow!! Tom PS: By the way, since my channel’s content is connecting well with you, I am confident that you will also benefit from my *_newly updated_* FREE mini course “The Top 3 Keys You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker”: go.saguto.golf/ Featuring 17 videos and 45 minutes of detailed lesson and drill content, this is a great way to gain a fundamental understanding of this system as well as an introduction to the formal learning method that has countless thousands of men and women from across the globe - including many accomplished, low-handicap, competitive players and spanning all age ranges from junior to super-senior - now enjoying the best golf of their lives: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews
Thank you for sharing and actually being on the course with feedback on each shot. I played today and learning the Tilt-Turn-Extend swing and it does work well but need a few tweaks. Good idea about giving yourself 2 Strokes on sandy greens…I played on same conditions today and didn’t do that but will next time. Greens were a bit ratty and the ball goes berserk.
I'm glad you enjoyed the course vlog, Patrick, and yes - give yourself a bit of a break - so to speak - when the greens resemble minefields! Of course you're going to need some time and a bit of patience to work through the swing change process, butt it will all be worth it. There's a wealth of lessons and drills in the online school to guide you through it all. Cheers! Tom

Good round. I've definitely changed my mindset on how I play. Bad shots are forgotten. I respect that you showed some poor shots. Thanks for the video. I hope you do more.
I'm going to the Gulf Coast on the 4th of June to play some Golf with my Daughter and Grandson. I haven't gotten a chance to play an actual round since I started learning from Tom. I'm excited to see just how much more fun I'm going to have since I've started Hitting it crispy. I'll let ya'll know 😊
Appreciate ya Tom. Helping my game so much while still keeping it fun. Having great Saturday action with my buddies. Grabbing some of those 3 whole bets. 😁
Tom my old swing came back last week and stayed with me the entire round and shot my worst ever score of 94. So I was like go away you suck and went out yesterday and hit the ball super crispy and shot 87 on a tough course. Now I just need to learn how to putt and I'll be in the low 80s. Stack and tilt saved me from quitting the game!!
Yeah - those ghosts of swings past are always looking for an opportunity to come back and haunt use, Jeffery. You just need to recognize their calling cards so you can beat them down before they inflict much damage. In this regard, you made a vice recovery in your follow-up round!

Great video!!! Love seeing this , hope to see more in the future..I used to get so upset at poor shots and poor rounds, I'd let it get to me 3 or 4 holes after ! Tom recommended me to the book "fearless golf " . If you have not read this book it is a must!!! Thank you Tom once again, my bad shots don't bring me down anymore , I make do with what I have in front of me and alot of the time it turns out great on the next shot...Only as good as your next shot, keep the content coming!
I'm glad you enjoyed the course vlog, Keith!! I'll definitely do more in the future as the schedule permits. Yes, that is a great book, and Gio Valiante ought to be paying me royalties for the number of online school members who have purchased it!!...😂 Keep up the great work, and most importantly - keep having fun out there!! Tom
It was reassuring to hear you talk about course conditions and their impact on your game. I like to play as much golf as possible, and since it isnt a cheap game there are 3 courses in my area that I frequent due to the quality vs price. They are "decent" courses, but they all have imperfections (occasional bare spots on the fairway, sandy greens, less than perfect bunkers with very coarse sand, etc). I find myself dealing with these at least a few times per round and every time I hit a bad shot from an adverse condition, I give myself a mental pass. It's hard to feel like I should be penalized under those circumstances.
Yes - I understand. As long as you're not in a "play it as it lies" competition and are just playing for enjoyment, then I see no problem with giving yourself a lie that one should normally expect when on the fairway, or going with a 2-putt maximum when the greens have been treated and are virtually unplayable (provided your playing partners agree). We don't need any more anguish than what this game already dishes out!!

Absolutely Tom, you're a treasure for those who are trying to reach a commendable score, and to those who are attempting to do just that.
I like how you noted the shape and quality of contact for each shot. I think I'm going to do that. At my current state, it will probably be a better indication of how my golf game is progressing (as opposed to my overall scorecard). Another great video Tom!

Tom, you started me going on the stack and tilt journey! Absolutely wonderful!
Just shot another net 64.
After two rounds of cancer and lack of energy, I cannot emphasise more that this system of learning golf is amazing.
Thanks Tom
Wow!! Are they calling you "Tony the Sandbagger" yet??.... 😂😂
That's some seriously awesome playing, Tony. Thanks so much for sharing your success and for your kind words regarding my instruction content!
Stay healthy, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!
Tom
Tom wants everyone to enjoy golf
and be their best at it. His honesty,
charisma and charm are main components, but his hard core techniques make it work. I’ve played golf for 25 years and (for me) I feel liberated, more confident
and get pumped to out there…..I’m
getting to like golf
Yeah, the mind is so powerful. Gotta forget bad shots as soon as they happen, they do not have to dictate your next shot. But they will if you keep them in your mind. Golf is not a game of perfection, there are just gonna be some bad shots and some that are downright ugly. Move on and enjoy the game and fresh air.
I truly appreciate your kind words regarding my instruction content and style, Richard, and I'm very glad to know that you are benefiting from the lessons, tips, and drills!!
Now the mission is to get you over the hump from "getting to like golf" to having an absolutely great time playing the game! If you've not already done so, perhaps you might consider my online school as a means to accelerate this process for just $10/month or $99/year?
Thanks again for your comment and for sharing your success, and keep up the great work!
Tom
Tom I used to shoot in the upper 90’s and low 100’s. Since I started watching your videos, I now shoot in the middle 80’s. Thanks a ton, you have changed my golf to be more fun.
Very nice Jerry!
That's what this is all about, Jerry!!
Keep up the fantastic work, and keep having fun out there!!
Tom
Thanks Doug
hey there, i have a coach and she is improving my golf but when i chanced upon your channel..,.. it’s just life changing! you gave me 2 tips and i tried those 2. My swing is a lot more consistent and ball strike omg omg. it went further and it felt good! 1. weight more on the left when i set up.
2. straight arm and push out your left arm when downswing
This is just the beginning of just watching few episodes of your class!
I have watched many many you tube golf channels and i am lucky to have found you. Thank you very much!
I m from Singapore btw and it’s been a great pleasure to have met you online
Hi Jennifer,
I truly appreciate your kind words and I am very glad to learn that my channel's instruction has benefited your game to such an extent!! You are obviously doing an excellent job digesting the lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!!
Thank you so much for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and it is a pleasure meeting you as well!!
Tom
PS: By the way, I have two great golf instructor friends in your area who teach the same swing that I do. They are both at GOLFTEC Singapore. Their names are Rob Cheney and Nick Taylor. If you decide to visit Rob or Nick for a lesson please tell them that Tom says "hi"!!
Tom, can you do more of this content? It’s so cool watching a teacher on the internet play for once and actually be really good.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Monte, and I appreciate your kind words!
The course vlogs are rather difficult for me to justify from a cost-benefit perspective. They take considerable time to record and produce, and they just don't garner anywhere near the viewership and interest in comparison to the lesson videos. I must keep the desires of my general audience in mind in this regard. That's not to say I won't do another at some point, but my primary focuses are supporting my online school and its members while creating quality instruction content for this channel's subs and visitors.
Thanks again!

Broke 80 first time last week shot 79 been playing 82 to 85 most of the year .last year before joining the school I couldn't break 100 thanks Tom it works I'm playing the best golf of my life.
Congratulations, Garry!! What a tremendous accomplishment!!
Please take a moment to post that in the online school forum's "SagutoGolf Members Trophy Case" category.
I'm thrilled for your success and appreciate you sharing it! Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!
Tom
I guess I should also mention that my golf game has improved dramatically since I started watching your videos. My score was so far over 100 that I’ve never bothered to count it accurately. Now my average score is in the low 90s with a few scores dropping into the high 80s. Plus it is way more fun to play golf when you can strike the ball well. Thank you for what you’ve taught me.
That's some fabulous improvement, John, and definitely a testimony to your work ethic and dedication to the process!!
Keep having fun out there - that's what this is ultimately all about!!
Tom
Tom is the golf buddy we all need
Thanks Daniel!!
I'm 75 and my golf pals are all old guys. Started using your method of play and I started using the senior tees. Some call them the ladies tees but I don't care we are having more fun playing the game now than we have in the last 40 years.
As I hope to have effectively conveyed in this episode, Steve, it's all about maximizing our enjoyment of this great game, and I'm glad to know that you and your buddies are doing exactly that!!
Hit 'em well and have fun out there!
Tom
This is fabulous as we are locked down in Auckland New Zealand with golf outlawed. Playing vicariously through Tom!
Get a video golf game 👍⛳🏌️♂️
Wtf 😳
@@dallastimebandits Yeah, they are suffering under some real tyranny.
Time to stand up for your freedoms.I know I am on this vaccine thing, they can give me the jab after they take my guns, but they will have to kill me first.
I'm sorry for your troubles there, Tony. I hope they come to their senses and open up outdoor activities such as golf very soon!
Dude. F-ing masterpiece!!! Loved this course vlog. Please do more of these. BTW. I have been watching your videos for about a year now. And totally rebuilt my swing. And I shot an 80 for the first time in my life. Had been a mid 90s shooter for 20 years before this. What you say works for me, but it took some commitment to fight through the change. Thanks I am loving the crisp ball striking.
I'm glad you enjoyed the episode, and I'll definitely produce more vlogs as the schedule permits!
I'm thrilled to learn of your success with this method. You've obviously done an excellent job digesting the lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!!
Thanks for sharing your success and keep up the great work!!

Tom- I always come back to your common sense approach to the game...IT WORKS! Difficult to describe how your simple (yet profound) style of teaching has made such a positive difference for me. I'm 64 years old and I can honestly say I'm playing the best golf I ever have! Can't wait to get back out and play again because..."life's too short to play bad golf!" Appreciate you man, thank you!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words, Russ, and I'm very glad to know that you are benefiting from my instruction content and enjoying my teaching style!!
Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great playing, and - most importantly - keep having fun out there!!

had a good round round yesterday and when we finished and walking to the car my mate said what the hell is a saguto lol ( i kept saying saguto tilt every shot apparently ) beat him by 11 shots its normally close im going to wear out the replay button on this video so entertaining cheers mate
To answer his question, "a saguto" is a thing one deploys whenever one desires to beat the absolute living snot out of his golfing mate.... 😂😂
Great stuff, Scott, and I'm glad you enjoyed the episode as well!!

This channel is the best. It helped me. I'm shooting 80 my best. I almost got a 79 but at the last hole 18 I sliced one into the trees. Great fun and I know exactly how tom feels about golf. Its so great to hit a crispy chicken buttery biscuit shot and watch the ball fly towards the target
Very nice, Douglas!! The 70's won't be evading you much longer....😎
Keep it crispy, buttery, and mashed, and most importantly - keep having fun out there!!
Tom
Tom just wanted say thankyou for the great videos and swing tips.
I have been playing much better and i am in a golf happy place lol because of you. I cant thank you enough. I was scoring in the mid to high 90s all season, and shot an 86 a few days ago! I am totally psyched to play, and think about golf every day. I am in NJ, but i will mow your lawn rake leaves whatever you need as a token of my appreciation lol Have a blessed golf day!
Ps im 60 yrs young and have been golfing for 35 yrs. With this instruction i am confident i can consistently score in the 80’s and hopefully 70’s soon. I will be joining your online school.
Hey Rob, yes on the school. Best money I've ever spent concerning my golf game. I also enjoy the forum where there is interaction and Tom takes the time to answer any questions.
I truly appreciate your kind words, Rob. I'm thrilled for the improvement you've experienced through my channel's instruction content, and I look forward to seeing you in the online school!
With regard to the school, here's a little bit of preliminary advice as you get started:
1) It is crucial to take sufficient time to master the fundamental components of the first couple of chapters! I cannot emphasize this enough, as frustrations predominantly occur when a student jumps ahead in the curriculum without properly dedicating himself/herself to the foundational base upon which our consistently repeatable, powerful, low maintenance swing must be built. Please have a look at this introductory video if you have not already done so: saguto.golf/courses/1166020/lectures/30347767.
2) One of the many great things about this swing is that you can achieve solid ball striking even at the most basic levels. This is why I oftentimes will suggest that students park themselves on Chapter 2 of the Golf Swing Simplified course for an extended period of time after locking down Chapter 1's foundational elements. Chapter 2 reinforces the body motions and the weight-forward component, and it culminates with what I call "The Best Golf Swing Practice Drill of All Time". Work yourself sequentially and gradually through the chapter, and then commit yourself to that drill in Lesson 2.8. Learn it. Practice it. Master it. You can even use this partially abbreviated swing on the course and play quite well with it as it will provide plenty of distance. (It actually is the full swing minus just a couple of power accumulators.) Once you've got that down, you will be well prepared to move forward in the curriculum and well on your way towards taking ownership of YOUR swing!
3) Also, as you progress always keep in mind the V1 Swing Video Analysis service, an effective and inexpensive service that I highly recommend to everyone in the school. I liken it to bringing your swing into the shop for a tune-up or minor repair. Scheduling one on a quarterly basis for preventive maintenance will do wonders for keeping things humming along nicely, and it's also a great tool for pinpointing and resolving any issues that arise. The process involves downloading the free V1 app and then submitting two videos to me through the app - one down-the-line (captured from your stance line, not the target line) and the other face-on. You'll find more information about the V1 Analysis halfway down this page on the Saguto.Golf site: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolf
4) Finally, as @Doug mentioned, please migrate over to the new “Office Hours” forum - which is included in your online school membership - and begin engaging with other golfers in the SagutoGolf community. It only takes a minute or two to enroll - just go to your “My Courses” screen and you’ll see a link to get started. Once signed in you’ll be able to access and participate in the great dialogue that we are having on a variety of topics. You can start discussions, contribute to existing threads, post specific swing questions, make some new friends, and just share in the common bond of golfers from around the world seeking to improve their games and help others to do the same. I monitor the forum regularly and am a frequent participant in the discussions, including assisting with swing-related inquiries. I really think you’ll enjoy it!
I look forward to hearing from you regularly in the Forum and to assisting you in building a consistent, low maintenance, powerful, body-friendly swing that will bring your enjoyment of this great game to a new level!
Thanks again for your message and have fun out there!!
Tom
This was great! I haven't watched this before! I like how you have fun and I never thought about making a two putt max for bad greens. Can't wait to see more of these videos!
Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Yes - keep it fun out there!!
Tom
Fun video Tom! I’m gonna watch this all winter up here in Illinois. I started using your method mid-summer. While it is hard changing from my old swing, the results speak for themselves. Solid contact is so important. I’m donating all my old golf books to Goodwill! Also not watching any other TH-cam instructors. Throwing all my golf eggs in your one KFC bucket.
Keep those eggs incubating in that bucket, Michael, and they'll hatch into some extra-crispy KFC for you!!
I understand that those ghosts of swings past are stubborn and do not go away without a fight, but if you embrace the process and commit yourself to doing the work you will conquer them.
Thanks for your kind words and dedication! And with regard to those typically harsh Illinois winters, keep in mind that there is a robust Indoor Training Program in the online school to help sharpen your skills while you are confined to quarters.
Cheers!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf Thanks for the words of encouragement! I’ll check out the indoor stuff in January.
Thank you Tom! My brother told me all about you and you have completely transformed my game. I picked golf back up at 50 years old after years off and wanted a swing with crispy contact, a divot and NO over the top weak fade/slice. Everything you teach me totally works. My main struggle is trying to unlearn bad habits from years of bad instruction. Thanks again and keep teaching us golf in a way we can all actually learn and apply!
It's my pleasure, Scott! I appreciate your kind words, and please thank your brother for you in my direction!! I'm very very glad to know that my channel's instruction is resonating well with you, and that through your dedicated effort you are now on the path towards crispy compressed ball striking bliss. Yes - those “ghosts of swings past” do not disappear on their own, and if you are transitioning from a previous swing method that involved shifting weight into your trail side and/or lifting the club with your hands they may take some time to exorcise. But you will conquer them through patience and proper repetition.
There is certainly plenty of great content in this channel to help you through the process, but if you are looking for a more structured learning environment to fast-track yourself - and assuming you have not already looked into it - please consider my online school for just $10/month or $99/year.

Thanks again for your comment, and welcome back to this great game!!
Tom
Great attitude! Thanks Tom for the great advice! I don’t play Golf to make a living. I play Golf to have fun! I really appreciate you sir for helping to have a better golfing attitude!
Thanks so much, David!! "Fun" should be what this is ultimately all about for 99% of us, and I'm very glad to know that my content and style in that regard are resonating well with you!!
Cheers!
Tom
I like it when you remember to state what club you are hitting and the strategy to the hole… like run it up or something different than a flight to the green. Thanks Tom.
Glad you enjoyed it, Steven!
I was one of those golfers who always shot in the high nineties and sometimes over one hundred. Since learning Stack and Tilt from Tom at the beginning of the warm season, I now shoot in the mid-eighties to low nineties. I found a way to practice indoors (for the winter) with a Tracman setup that I can rent, like going to the range. I firmly believe I can get to the low 80s with continued practice and instruction.
Well done, @Theophilus - I'm very glad to know that S&T is working well for you!
Now, if you haven't already done so and would really like to get on the fast track towards the low 80's and beyond, please consider the SagutoGolf online school. So many folks across the globe are now playing the best golf of their lives as a result. As an enrolled member you'll enjoy:

Tom
I really enjoyed the play-by-play commentary. I hope you do more of these. You taught me the stack-n-tilt swing, and I'm hitting a bunch more fairways now. Thanks Bro !!
I'm glad you enjoyed the episode, and I'll definitely do another one as soon as the schedule permits!
I'm very glad to learn of your success with S&T. Thanks for sharing, keep up the great playing, and have fun out there!!
Tom
this is the second vlog Tom i watched i just love your honesty, because on your TH-cam vids on the range it looks like you could hardy ever hit a bad shot. now two vlogs in you show how hard and fun this game is. keep it up bud
Thanks Brian - I'm glad you're enjoying the good, the bad, and the ugly of my vlogs!
TS
Swing is looking good Tommy boy. See you soon!
LOL! Thanks Eric! Looking forward to it!!
Best collab on TH-cam!! Haha
I have been golfing for 6 years. I have been an 18 handicap for the last 3 years without much improvement with any changes I made. I have used stack and tilt now for the last 6months. Last week I actually started hitting draws with my Irons for the 1st time. Great feeling!!
That's a fantastic and significant development, Shawn!! Nice job sticking with the process and incorporating the lesson content into your swing. You are now on the path to the extra crispy buffet of ball striking bliss!!
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!
Tom
This is only the second golf video I was ever able to watch of someone else playing a round. This and Kyle berschier whose pretty fun to watch too. Bit this was very entertaining. Keep it up man.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Michael! I'll definitely do more as the schedule permits.
Tom
Tom on the course is the content we alll wanted!!
I hope to see you in the premier, Ally!
love your sense of humour ! not the only thing we watch you for. keep up with the good work
Thanks so much, @Euriloco - I'm very glad to know that you are enjoying my instruction content and style!!
Tom
Still a work in progress but golf is so much more fun .Thank you Tom for saving me from all the other so called teachers who filled my head with confusion.
Unfortunately, Mark, such sorcery from this dark underworld of golf instruction rarely finds its way to the mainstream because if too many folks found out about it the mainstream would then be rendered irrelevant....... 😎
If you'd like to get on the fast track perhaps you might consider the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school? That's where - among many other courses and lessons covering various aspects of the game - you will find very detailed instruction and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step from setup to finish. Additionally, you'll find all my short game content (putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play), advanced level courses on shot shaping and power/distance, diagnostic and corrective tools for resolving common swing, contact, and ball flight issues, and much more there.

Thanks For the link Tom, I totally trust the TS way, I am all in! You certainly gave me hope tho with a couple of push draws. blew 5 holes yesterday with push draws into the rough, 5 lost balls! I refused to let it define me tho and trusted in my swing. Nice couple of swings at end to balance my mind! Please keep up great work, I am a disciple and always will be
My pleasure, Simon! I'm glad you enjoyed the course vlog - including some overcooked draws just to keep it real 😎 - and I appreciate your ongoing support!!
Tom
I enjoy waking up on a Sunday morning for my latest Saguto fix! This was brilliant really enjoyed the vlog.
Thanks Neil - So glad you enjoyed this course vlog episode!!
Tom
Gosh I wish there will be more SAGUTO golf vlogs out there! It’s so enjoyable!
I'm glad you liked it, Chandler!
While I enjoy doing them, the course vlogs are rather difficult for me to justify from a cost-benefit perspective. They take considerable time to record and produce, and they just don't garner anywhere near the viewership and interest in comparison to the lesson videos. I must keep the desires of my general audience in mind in this regard. That's not to say I won't do another at some point, but my primary focuses are supporting my online school and its members while creating quality instruction content for this channel's subs and visitors.
Thanks!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf Thank you Tom! I subscribe to your lessons last week and it literally saved me from giving up on this sport. Really loved your simple methodologies and explanation. I try to watch 2-3 videos every day and practice on them. The result is just amazing…do you offer any online private lessons?
Tom, I can't thank you enough. Your teaching style and communication somehow allow me to "feel" much better what a good swing should be. I shave off a few strokes off each round since becoming a subscribing Saguto golfer. 113 to 106 to 95 in 3 rounds. Low 80's here I come!
Wow Ken - that is AWESOME!! I truly appreciate your kind words and I am very glad to learn that my channel's instruction has benefited your game to such an extent!! You're obviously doing an excellent job digesting the lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!!
Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there "going low"!!
Tom
LOVE THE VIDEOS AND THE MESSAGE. DROPPED MY HANDICAP FROM 19.4 TO 16.7 AND IT WILL GET BETTER. THANKS TOM.
I'm glad you're enjoying and benefiting from the instruction content, Jeff. Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!
Tom
Very nice outlooks in playing golf...What i like the most: the next shot is the best shot, don't be tied with level -headedness...Thanks a lot. Keep it up Tom ...Cheers!
I am glad to know that you enjoyed this on-course episode, @Paterno Borlagdan! Yes indeed - a proper mindset is critical to consistently good playing.
Thanks for your comment. Have fun out there!!
Tom
Your videos are great a regular guy playing golf keep it up watch the lessons all the time
Thanks Phil - I'm glad you are enjoying the content!!
And by the way, I appreciate you referring to me as a "regular guy". That doesn't happen very often....😂😂😂
Tom
Love the 2 putt max on punched greens! Great point about using one club for most of your chips.. it’s what I do - and use my gap as well. Kindred golf… 😝⛳️
Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed this course vlog!!
Tom always love your enthusiasm and positive attitude. Nice to see an instructor take it to the course. We all look good hitting into the net. Your 3W and Driver are amazing. Really wish more folks could see the value of your school, it's just very well organized, you can review videos or sections where you are needing a little help. I'm so lucky as you know I picked up the game in 2020 after Covid restrictions were lifted, didn't have a clue about swinging a golf club. S/T just feels comfortable and natural, no pain. Glad I stumbled across your TH-cam channel and signed up for your online school. So when I started I was in the 110-115 range, I don't like to "brag" but wanted folks to know because of your teaching S/T my best score has been 88, last weekend was a 90. Thanks Tom, keep up the great instruction!
Hi Tom,
As I've mentioned to you here, in the online school Forum, and in person, your dedication to the process and your work ethic have put your learning curve on a nearly vertical track. From having never swung a club to breaking 90 in a year's time primarily through self-guided instruction is truly outstanding, and I am very excited to see you progress further as you build in the finer points of the game!
Thanks again for your very kind words for sharing your ongoing improvement. I truly appreciate you being a most willing and unsolicited spokesperson for the online school!!
Tom
Been waiting for a vlog like this, love to see what goes on in the mind of a pro. Slightly weird watching your mind work before 9am on a Sunday in England tho lol!! Don't beat yourself up is one of my worst elements, great advice to work on this! Love it
LOL!! Glad you enjoyed it, Simon!!
TS
85 today, a bunch of 3 putts, I hit my irons extra crispy. I was in a nice groove when my left shoulder hit my chin on my back swing. Can’t wait until next weekend
Nice score! 3 putts suck, but there is something special about hitting the irons well that takes the edge of poor putting!
Well done, Jeffrey!!
Keep that shoulder working under the chin to keep it krispy, and have fun out there!!
Tom
You’ve really helped me, Tom. Thank you so much for making the game much more fun. I’ve had some back problems (old age) and haven’t got to play in awhile, but I watch your instructional videos and try to keep it embedded in my memory, still (old age), 🤦🏻♂️
I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you, Rickey, and I appreciate your support in sharing your improvement and enjoyment!
By the way, you may be interested to know that a significant percentage of my online school members are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, arthritis, and joint replacements - and they are overwhelmingly elated to experience the dramatic pain-free game improvement, seemingly effortless power, and resulting enjoyment that this swing affords them. It all begins with a proper setup which provides for a free-flowing motion. Upon that good foundation a repeatable swing which produces consistently crispy impact can be built.
Have you looked into the comprehensive, sequential learning platform of the online school yet? That's where - among many other courses and lessons covering various aspects of the game - you will find very detailed instruction and drills that take you through the entire swing step-by-step from setup to finish. Thousands of men and women from across the globe - including many seasoned, low-handicap, competitive players and spanning all age ranges from junior to super-senior - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result, and I'm happy to let their unsolicited testimonials tell the story: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews. And if you'd like to first "dip a toe in the water" prior to diving into the school, then here is a link to my FREE mini course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker”: go.saguto.golf/ That is where you can learn some key aspects of the swing system I teach in a more structured manner.
You don't need the flexibility of a Romanian gymnast - or even of this far less pliable golf instructor - to execute this swing, experience great ball striking, and reclaim - or even exceed - yardages from years past. I hope you'll give the school some thought.
Thanks for your message!
Tom
TOM! I think it’s time that you do another one of these!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I've definitely improved with watching your instructional videos.
Getting a new fitted driver has helped immensely keep me out of trouble spots. I still hit that occasionally but I'm no professional,and I do keep the last shot behind me trying to make my next shot better. I'm capable of low to mid 40s I've done it,many times it's long irons that fail sometimes my chipping and lots of putts.always room for improvement for sure,I certainly appreciate you're style of instruction so thank you
My lowest iron is a 4 iron, don't be too proud to throw some hybrids in your bag, even the pros use hybrids.

My really good round was in the low 80s and my average round was mid to high 80s and bad round being low 90s to even I can get to high 90s now my average round is low 80s. I have broken 80 several times before but I stay in the low 80s bad round being high 80s. I also get at least 2 birdies every round. But last time I was out I adjusted my swing a little bit and now I think I'll be breaking 80 on a regular. I was hitting so much further the guy in the group in front of me called me John daly lol. This guy really helped me out among some other videos.
That's fantastic! I'm glad to know that you have benefited from some of my channel's instruction content.
Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!

Thanks RC!
We all been waiting for this and it didn't disappoint, thanks Tom
Thanks for your patience, Charlie. I'm glad it was worth the wait!!

Lol at 13:09. You've articulated beautifully the thought process of each of us in the lay up situation. Edit: Cheered for you at 15:30. Lol.
Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate your cheers!! 😎
Tom
Yep Tom. It’s clear we want more of these. It’s the next step after learning how to swing consistently. You have think consistently too. Plus it’s the only way to 9 with you!
Thanks Andy - I'm glad you enjoyed the course vlog. I'll definitely do more of these as the schedule permits!!
Tom
Thanks Tom. Love to see a 9 hole Vlog. I have been making progress, though slowly. I’ve had a couple of rounds in the 80’s recently. I’m hoping to be there in every round by next season. I have found that even if I can’t hit the green, if I can get AROUND the green in regulation, I can often do no worse than bogey.
Glad you enjoyed the episode, Bob!
Thanks for the progress update. Your goal for next season is most definitely in reach. Consider that - on a par 72 course - all you need to do is par just one hole and bogey the other 17 to break 90; you are essentially already there! And once you're consistently in the 80's don't be scared when you find yourself in position to actually break 80, because those opportunities will present themselves on days when you're on or near the green and the short game is really clicking.
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!
Tom
Your crispy iron tip for getting the right feeling really helped me. Now I just need to work on my driver/fairway wood strikes.
I'm glad to know that helped your iron play, Matthew! It's really the same swing with the driver and woods - just some minor setup differences and naturally occurring shaft plane changes as we graduate up in club length from short irons to woods. (In fact, here is a video of Stack and Tilt co-founder Mike Bennett hitting the driver: th-cam.com/video/7fmtzyH3rsA/w-d-xo.html. It looks very similar to his iron swing, right?: th-cam.com/video/SLjwU_1Cc7o/w-d-xo.html ) If you do a search on this channel you'll see some content on the driver and fairway woods. Upon learning this swing properly you will be harnessing the tremendous power source known as "angular momentum". This is the reason my students and online school members of all age ranges end up bombing it farther than they ever had previously.

You should seriously host a golf TV show. I would totally watch that. Someone put this guy on tv!
LOL! I appreciate that, but the "mainstream" would never allow for it....😂
I have found this year my mindset has improved a hell of a lot on the golf course
Yeah I still get dissappointed missing a putt or not making Crispy contact with my irons
But I ain't going down the road of having a meltdown emotionally on the course
Being a bit more accepting of my "limited" abilities is making golf much more enjoyable
Today I shot a 91 off the stick which was a Nett 78 for me
It weren't a great day out there and I made a few mistakes
But the thing is I stayed happy on the course
It's all about keeping things in the proper perspective, and it sounds like you are doing that quite well now. For those not making a living at the game, golf is essentially a challenging pastime, and as such it is meant to be enjoyed. Sure - an occasional frustration can creep in , but if it's 4-5 hours of misery then why bother?? Let's HAVE FUN out there!!!
Great job doing just that!!
Tom
Love watching your videos, great tips and info, and not boring, your videos have made my son start playing and enjoying golf to, keep up the great work Tom
I appreciate your kind words regarding my channel's content, Randy, and I'm thrilled to have played a role in making golf a family affair in the Swartz household!
Have fun out there with your son!

Absolutely love this 😂 never smiled so much through a course vlog
Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
If we're not having fun out there, then what are we doing, right??
Tom
Love your craziness and humour and that you tell everyone we need to keep the game enjoyable. I’m a 14 handicap and it’s my brain and life that affects my game !!! Need to treat it as a good day out !
Very refreshing, keep it up 👍
When you gnaw that crispy chicken down to the bone, Paul, that's what this is really all about - maximizing our enjoyment of this great game!!
Thanks so much for your kind words and support!!

Great vid Tommy. Glad to see you finally play. Recommend more of this content.
Thanks @christopheles - I'm glad you enjoyed the course vlog. I've done a couple of these in the past and will definitely do more as the schedule permits.
Cheers!
Tom
Saguto has absolutely helped me. While I don't currently use stack and tilt when driving (though I should), I do use it with my irons and now I hit greens often. It's such a great feeling! Obviously hitting greens is how you consistently get more pars and birdies, which will put you right in the 80s if not better! (of course there the occasional bogey or worse).
I appreciate the kind words, @DJ-Flights, and I'm very glad to know that S&T is performing well with your iron game. While the driver typically takes a bit longer to master, I can tell you with certainty from personal experience that it's worth the process. I hit it so much longer and straighter now than I ever did in my best days of shift & lift, and that equates to many more pin-seeking crispy short irons per round. Translation: 70's if not better!! 😎
Keep the great work, and let's get that driver dialed in!!
Cheers!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf I've actually been trying it with my drives. It feel less chaotic, I will keep going with it. I just need to feel the power and crack the whip, I think I need to make it flow a bit faster once I'm starting transition.
@DJ-Flights - I'll share with you some kernels of wisdom regarding the common issues when folks are KFC crisping their irons with S&T but are still trying to dial in the mashed potato drives:
1) They don't start with - or maintain - enough weight on the front side. In general with the longer clubs we should add a little more front weight load at address - more like 60/40 instead of the 55/45 prescribed for the other clubs. This forward weight should gradually increase to the top of the backswing (70/30) and build further on the downswing - approximately 80/20 halfway down, 90/10 impact, and 95/5 finish.
2) Their hips are not continuing their lateral slide through impact. This is common with the longer clubs as the wider stance means that the hips have a greater distance to travel. If the hips stop moving laterally towards the target on the downswing then their rotation takes over, changing the low point and rerouting the club. This can produce a variety of undesirable results including fat and thin contact, topped shots and popups, straight pulls, and “banana” slices.
3) They are not allowing the length of the club to dictate the backswing path and are getting too steep as a result. The shaft length of the longer clubs encourages more of an around the body backswing as established by the shaft plane at address. It may "feel" flat as you take it back along the shaft plane for the first few feet, but as long as you maintain the "weight forward, shoulder down, and hands in" components while allowing the club to work around you, it should put you in the proper position at the top so you can attack the ball from the inside.
While there's much more detailed lessons and drills designed to help with this in the online school, you should be able to find some helpful content here in the channel.
Here's to Bombing it!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf Thanks Tom! Yes I've been working on it lately. I re-watched your Guide to driving and tried out some things with a few balls on the range after a game. I realized I had the ball too far forward and moved it a clubhead length behind the front leg like you said in the video. With the new position, I found I had space to bring back bowing the left wrist (wring the towel when starting the downswing). All I can say is wow! The ball jumped off the driver better than any shot I had all day, just from fixing the ball position and bowing the lead wrist. I only got to try it with 3 hits and had to leave, but I'll be continuing with it this weekend. I also realized my right arm needs to work in a different way through impact, which I can more easily feel now with the bowed wrist. I've found some great new feelings dry swinging all week. I'll be trying out this new stuff at the range this weekend. I really think I'm about to have a distance and consistency breakthrough. I might post a video if/when it happens. I think my long swing change is finally about to be complete. Thanks for all the help! (and I was a member, it was helpful)
@DJ-Flights - I can't tell you how many times folks - admittedly, including myself - have completely reengineered their good, highly functional swing to disastrous results when all they really needed was to tweak something in their setup (i.e.: ball position). I'm glad to know that you figured this out and are now on the cusp of ball striking bliss. Great job!!
Tom
This format is great you are always fun to watch thanks mr saguto
Thanks Will - I appreciate your kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed the course vlog episode!!
Tom
Your best video ever …. great to see your thought process as you play. The 3 wood was the right selection, especially when you are out just playing. I have a friend who always says - I hope to hit a hole in one today, I have started thinking that on every par 3, haven’t hit one yet but one day I will. Watched a show about the orange whip golf trainer. It appears they put to much weight on the back foot and pick up thier head a little when they swing. Plus you say the truth is in the dirt (Ben Hogan), they don’t really take a divot - no truth in that swing. Thanks again for a great video.
I'm glad you enjoyed the course vlog, Adam! I'll definitely try to do more of those as the schedule permits.
Yes - 3 wood was the right club, and with my usual shot shape I'd have been putting or chipping for eagle. I just pushed it a little too far right and it didn't want to come back enough. Oh well, the potential reward was worth the risk.
I love your par 3 mindset and I look forward to hearing from you when you card that first ace!
Cheers!
Tom
Thanks
Thanks so much, Richard - I sincerely appreciate your support!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf loved your Vlog. Very entertaining and insightful.
Definitely more playing videos with incorporated lessons. Thanks fpr the video amd good game partner.
I'm glad you enjoyed this playing episode, Scott, and yes - there will be more of these to come as the schedule permits!
Cheers!
Tom
Thanks Tom, Nice to see that even YOU are not perfect. But since I have joined your group I have consistantly broken 90 (with an occasional hiccup).I have gotten compliments from better golfers than me, that I am hitting the ball much straighter now than ever before. Thanks for you help. Doc Martin
I may be a variety of things, Doc, but "perfect" is definitely not one of them!!
I'm thrilled for your success and I truly appreciate you sharing it here.
Keep it crispy, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!
Tom
BIG Fun - thanks for taking me along I been learning a lot, having more fun
I'm glad you enjoyed the course Vlog, @It's ON, and I'm very happy to know that you are having fun out there!
Keep it crispy!
Tom
Top video Tom. Really good to see you out on the course.
Thanks - I'm very glad to know that you enjoyed this course vlog episode!!
Tom
Fun episode. I choose to laugh on good and bad shots. Hell...I'm able to be retired, taking up a stupid game, and hangin' with my bandmates on a beautiful yard for 4 hours of juvenile behavior...and the beer always tastes great afterwards. Do I have goals? Of course. I am out to have fun no matter how I hit...which for now is pretty inconsistent. Going into the water but the strike felt great? That's a good thing...as long as I can remember how that felt great and can do it without water in the way! Rock it up, Tom! Thanks for helping get my swing closer to where it needs to be. Sorry man...no gimmes.
Aww.....c'mon, Rob! All that carefree fun and then "no gimmes" on greens that roll like the surface of the moon?? Really??.......😂😂
I'm glad you're enjoying my instruction content and having a blast out there with the bandmates.
Keep up the great work and rock on!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf No gimmes. Just laugh!
please do more and yes the glass is always half full so accent the possitive forget the negative
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Kennion, and yes - definitely more on-course vlogs to come as the schedule permits.
Have fun out there!
Tom
That's the one thing I struggle with huge while playing.....my moods based on how I'm playing! Def a good point worth mentioning Tom! Great stuff!
We're not out there playing to make a living, so if we're not having some measure of fun - whether it be in time spent in a beautiful outdoor setting, the camaraderie, and/or enjoying the challenges of this great game - then what are we doing, right??
That's not to say that we can't or won't get frustrated with ourselves from time to time - after all, it is a very difficult sport - but the overall experience needs to be worthwhile and satisfying,
Glad you enjoyed the vlog!!
@@SagutoGolf You said it brotha! Words to live by for sure!
Love the content Tom.. I got a big scramble tomorrow and your videos gave help me and my nephew a ton. Keep up the great work..
Thanks, Brad - I'm glad you're both enjoying my instruction content!! I hope the scramble went well for you!!
Keep it crispy!
Tom
Another great vid Tom. Great to see you out on the course!!
Thanks Damian - I'm glad you enjoyed this course vlog episode!!
Tom
Well done Tom, this was a great demonstration of how to play golf and enjoy it while playing well.
Thanks Andrew - I appreciate the kind words and I'm very glad to know that you enjoyed the episode!!
Tom
Tom I loved this so much, thanks for linking me to it. You are a breath of fresh air in the golf world and should be celebrated. I also think your hair is AMAZING
My pleasure, Steve - I'm glad you enjoyed it!! (as well as my old "rock star" hair look... 😆)
Tom
That was so much fun! Hope you do more of these and perhaps play with one of your students!
I'll definitely do another one when the schedule permits, Bob! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Tom
Great vlog Tom. Love your brutal honesty, and optimism...as well as your general rambling about life in general...like being in your head, which is better than my head. I would like to see a new vlog since your fitting the other day. I'll be hitting the range on Sun, and putting the Saguto Swing in action...fo real. Will let you know how it goes...peace bro
Sounds good, Pete - be sure to have fun out there!!
As for the course vlog, yes - welcome to my head. It's a very random and dangerous place...😆
TS
@@SagutoGolf LOL
This is one of my new favorite videos of yours!! Nice job!
Thanks!! I appreciate that and I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Tom
Loved this vlog. Glad you hit the three wood over laying up. We all gotta go Tin Cup once in a while!
Glad you enjoyed it, Roger! And yes indeed - when you're feeling it and the odds of success are not completely unreasonable, let it fly!
Loved this video, Tom. Yes, please do more of these. I especially loved the advice about enjoying the good shots and not fretting too much about the bad shots. To me, crispy contact is the most satisfying part of the game, regardless of what I shoot. As you can tell from this comment, my putting sucks, but no matter; I still have a lot of fun when I hit the ball well. I have more fun shooting 80 when I hit 12 greens than 79 when I hit only 6, but chip and putt like crazy. That's not very satisfying.
I'm glad you enjoyed the episode, Jim. And I wholeheartedly agree about the level of enjoyment garnered from a day of great ball striking, however it does also behoove us to shore up the other parts of our game so we can go low on those extra crispy days yet still scrape together a decent score and get some satisfaction from rounds when the A-game decided to stay home.
I'll definitely be doing more course vlogs as the schedule permits!
Have fun out there!
Tom
totally enjoyed this, as a fairly recent saguto student its a great insight
to your personality, you are a true pro tom, and you are so open hearted
with it, i believe those two qualities put you in a good place mentally,
a great example we can all learn from ,not just the crispy shots😇👍
You are far too kind, William. I'm thrilled to have you onboard, and I am so glad to know that you are enjoying and benefiting from my instruction content and teaching style!!
Tom
Thanks to you Tom , played a nine hole course today a par 35 , got round in 37 ( 2 over ) a few weeks ago that would have been 47 , thanks mate .
Wow - that's phenomenal, Paul!! I'm very glad to know that my instruction content is resonating well with you. You've obviously done an excellent job digesting the lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it.
Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and have fun out there!!
Cheers!
Tom
Buzzing for this been hoping you would be on the course more.. got the car fixed went to the course shot 107 my best yet been from 140 down to 107 got my first par should have had 3 but lipped out
keep up Tom’s technique & method
and you will amaze yourself
I hope I'll get to see you in the episode tonight Luke! Congrats on your new BEST round ever. Keep up the great work!
@@SagutoGolf I’ll be watching! Thank you means a lot!
I would love to see more of this type of video. Course management, etc...
Yes - definitely more on-course vlogs to come as the schedule permits, Lawrence. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Tom
I agree with a lot of what he’s saying. I think he can help a lot of people. He has a small reverse pivot that needs to be cleaned up, but I love this guys attitude and positivity.
I appreciate that! But I must clarify with regard to what you believe you are seeing in my swing. I know it sounds like a strange concept to those who have only ever subscribed to a swing model that is based on shifting weight from back to front, but I assure you that this swing is anything but a reverse pivot!
Yours is a good question, though, because it represents an often-misconstrued notion and occasional invalid criticism of the Stack & Tilt swing, and as such I always appreciate the opportunity to respond and clarify. You start with your weight forward (55/45 on the front side; 60/40 for the longer clubs), increase that same weight forward to the top of the backswing (70/30), and further increase the forward weight during the downswing from halfway down (80/20) through impact (90/10) and to the finish at 95/5 forward. There's no "weight shift", therefore - unless one were to fall backwards - there's nothing to reverse or pivot!! And the result is a centered, low-maintenance, body-friendly, consistent, and tremendously powerful swing!
Cheers!
Tom
“CRISPY” is the BEST!
Tom you need shirts that say “Hit it CRISPY”.
Hats that say “CRISPY”.
Not gaining distance yet but the contact is encouraging. The audio is that nice Bing.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work, Stella. The distance will follow!!

Thank you for sharing and actually being on the course with feedback on each shot. I played today and learning the Tilt-Turn-Extend swing and it does work well but need a few tweaks. Good idea about giving yourself 2 Strokes on sandy greens…I played on same conditions today and didn’t do that but will next time. Greens were a bit ratty and the ball goes berserk.
I'm glad you enjoyed the course vlog, Patrick, and yes - give yourself a bit of a break - so to speak - when the greens resemble minefields!
Of course you're going to need some time and a bit of patience to work through the swing change process, butt it will all be worth it. There's a wealth of lessons and drills in the online school to guide you through it all.
Cheers!
Tom
Thanks for the tips on a more positive mindset out on the course…”the next shot could be my best ever” 🔥

I'm going to the Gulf Coast on the 4th of June to play some Golf with my Daughter and Grandson. I haven't gotten a chance to play an actual round since I started learning from Tom. I'm excited to see just how much more fun I'm going to have since I've started Hitting it crispy. I'll let ya'll know 😊
Appreciate ya Tom. Helping my game so much while still keeping it fun. Having great Saturday action with my buddies. Grabbing some of those 3 whole bets. 😁
Nice, Joe! I'm glad to know that my channel's instruction content is working well for you.
Keep up the great playing and have a blast out there!

Great video! Love to see Saguto golf on the course. More please!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Tom my old swing came back last week and stayed with me the entire round and shot my worst ever score of 94. So I was like go away you suck and went out yesterday and hit the ball super crispy and shot 87 on a tough course. Now I just need to learn how to putt and I'll be in the low 80s. Stack and tilt saved me from quitting the game!!
Yeah - those ghosts of swings past are always looking for an opportunity to come back and haunt use, Jeffery. You just need to recognize their calling cards so you can beat them down before they inflict much damage. In this regard, you made a vice recovery in your follow-up round!

Great video!!! Love seeing this , hope to see more in the future..I used to get so upset at poor shots and poor rounds, I'd let it get to me 3 or 4 holes after ! Tom recommended me to the book "fearless golf " . If you have not read this book it is a must!!! Thank you Tom once again, my bad shots don't bring me down anymore , I make do with what I have in front of me and alot of the time it turns out great on the next shot...Only as good as your next shot, keep the content coming!
I'm glad you enjoyed the course vlog, Keith!! I'll definitely do more in the future as the schedule permits.
Yes, that is a great book, and Gio Valiante ought to be paying me royalties for the number of online school members who have purchased it!!...😂
Keep up the great work, and most importantly - keep having fun out there!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf 100% agree on the royalties lol !
It was reassuring to hear you talk about course conditions and their impact on your game. I like to play as much golf as possible, and since it isnt a cheap game there are 3 courses in my area that I frequent due to the quality vs price. They are "decent" courses, but they all have imperfections (occasional bare spots on the fairway, sandy greens, less than perfect bunkers with very coarse sand, etc). I find myself dealing with these at least a few times per round and every time I hit a bad shot from an adverse condition, I give myself a mental pass. It's hard to feel like I should be penalized under those circumstances.
Yes - I understand. As long as you're not in a "play it as it lies" competition and are just playing for enjoyment, then I see no problem with giving yourself a lie that one should normally expect when on the fairway, or going with a 2-putt maximum when the greens have been treated and are virtually unplayable (provided your playing partners agree). We don't need any more anguish than what this game already dishes out!!
