The "Golf Swing" is a Misnomer

Been there, done that. We'll be right here.

That was funny . . . .

Sean . . . . there are PLENTY OF PEOPLE WHO THINK JUST AS YOU DO . . . and there are plenty of 'em that will whip everybody on this board . . .

I admire your efforts to simplify . . . and wish you the best of luck . . . if you understand or instinctively got certain fundamental alignments then you maybe able to do just as you have described . . . much of the posting here for 90% of golfers is way overkill for sure. You don't have to know the difference and be able to articulate what a snap release versus a sweep release is. Like Hogan said . . . he didn't need to do everything good . . . just a few things good. But the trick is figuring out what those "few good things are" FOR YOU. Could be you have found it. I agree that the pivot is vital . . . so that could be your "few good things". But if it ain't . . . like D said . . . . the people are waiting.
