It is a peculiarity of mine. I find that, properly understood, a steady head helps most people to play better golf.
It may surprise some to know that, in my teaching, I focus very little on the head. That's because when you swing correctly, the head has little tendency to move.
Something like this:
Interesting video, thanks for digging it out of Youtube vaults... for those not familiar with UK TV golf coverage in 1980s and 90s... the voice is ( or I am pretty certain it is) Alex Hay... a wee scot who used to copresent with Peter Allis much of the BBC TV golf.
I presume that it is the same Alex Hay who wrote the books which borrow/support much of TGM - do a search in the books section and there are many references to the author Alex Hay.

That definitely sounds like Alex Hay. He was associated with the Woburn Golf Club for many years during his time with the Beeb and he was a teacher in his own right too writing many instruction books like you said.
Didn't realise that he had borrowed a few things from TGM either.

Is it not taken from Ernies video??? Was it "How to build a swing" or something like that. I recall that Mr Hay was the narrator.(is that the name?)

Ernie Els is a great example of a stationary head.
I often think the reason that players (even some of the tour players) develop their bad habit of their head moving downwards and backwards on the downstroke to varing degrees is because their vision and its changed perspective makes it phychologically easier to accept the longitudinal acceleration of the swingers stroke pattern that way....

That is "How to Build a Classic Swing - Ernie Els"
