I could listen to these guys all day. As a golfer in my early 60's listening to them talk about the age related issues of hip and shoulder turn, I fight this battle every day. Loved listening to Rick talk about using your own swing instead of trying to get in certain positions all throughout the swing. Particularly interesting that Rick and Sir Nick are not fans on tucking that right elbow near impact. Wish I had an instructor like Rick to work with me. Thanks guys for this podcast!
I’m a former PGA professional and as a kid Rick Smith was a huge influence on me. I love how he explained things. This was great listening to Rick and Nick talking swing concepts. Great channel! Looking forward to hearing more in the future.
Damn hearing that story of working at Scioto CC back in the day reminded me of old times. I was offered a job with Walker to play with the members, teach, etc, having just graduated from college as a member of the Buckeye golf team. I had no idea that he played with Hogan and was a player himself. Kind man though, was a really nice interview and he basically was vouching off the recommendation of OSU golf coach Jim Brown. Life happens, and I decided to go to FL to play the mini tours and 4 spot on the PGA Tour. Fast forward 35 years, life just blows by so fast.
Outstanding wake up call for today’s data tech instructors….they have confused majority of new players…. I learned by trial and error competing with friends and made up games …..imagination, shot making, feel is a lost art in today’s game…..best vid I’ve watched in years…well done letting Rick and Nick talk real golf….
The Nicklaus technical comments are interesting. I started playing golf in 1972 at age 12 and I tried to copy Jack’s movements, particularly his ball position at address just inside the left heel with every club. It took me a lot of years to learn I didn’t have the inherent athleticism to pull that off. I didn’t start playing my best competitive golf until the mid to late eighties after the great teacher Charlie Sorrell moved the ball back in my stance, allowing me to cover and compress the ball more consistently and add distance with the irons. I love these old school guys talking technique. I’m 64 now and I think most of us suffer from information overload with launch monitors and simulators. I play better without that data in my brain honestly.
Keep all the stuff about Nicklaus and Faldo, cut out all the other Mickelson, Jansen stuff. Gold nuggets about JN in this, thanks Rick Smith. Walker Inman was the man, Mr. Ohio 😮golf besides JWN🙌❤️👍
Arms swing or body swing? The debate could go on BUT I see many high-handicap golfers who keep their shoulders parallel to the target line and swing from their armpits! So if you tell them it's an arms swing, they will carry on not turning or rotating.
I had 6 B’s this week and I will be 80 yrs old in 25. Please tell all your beginners to place the balls behind their set up position taking the balls out of their vision of sight. The game is a head game improve your tempo and rhythm by not rushing throw the bucket. I started when I was 40. Enough for now
Disagree that Jack in late 60s early 70s was his best. He was so much better in the early 60s. Listen to Hogan's comments at Cherry Hill in 1960, or watch him play at Oakmont, etc in the early years.

Sir Nick and Rick - that’s the best recipe of informative golf podcast.

So good. Especially the end.

Keep making good content and they will find you
Jack won more senior majors than just the open after 92
Or did he not?

Seve may have lost what he had because of the brain cancer.
That's exactly what his family believe and doctors who supported him; it could have been there for many years.
