Here's what we cover in this golf video.
If I was asking you to throw something, you wouldn't think about throwing in a one piece takeaway. You would just feel the weight. Don't worry so much about specific placements from inch to inch to inch. It's just about starting it in motion and getting us in a place that we can launch ourselves from to be able to get the ground, to be able to get the width. And you don't have to be a super athlete. You don't have to try and practice for hours and hours to get this perfect sort of takeaway.
Alex Fortey from the Art of Simple Golf gives you simple tips to improve your golf swing. Enjoy this golf video to help you get closer to having YOUR perfect golf swing.

Been watching this channel for a bit and just sub'd. The reason is because I can tell this channel's motivation is to key in on all of the important elements of hitting a consistent golf shot without trying to complicate it. I think I'll call you Art from here on!
I agree totally,why on earth do we want to swing like someone else anyway? your swing is your swing and you should work at improving that rather than trying to swing like Rory etc..... even they don't swing perfectly all the time.....if you concentrate on your own swing the game is easier because you're not trying to change anything... I'm 68 and play to scratch and I put that down to not trying to smash the ball half a mile or look to have a beautiful swing, I play within myself and know my limitations and enjoy the game 🎊🌟🤩🥳
Very well said John and thanks am for sharing form someone who’s doing it well and for many years. Keep at it! 💪🏌️♂️
I really like your explanations. It's exactly what I am experiencing at the present time and I lost myself day after day !!! I will come back to a take away more natural and focus more on the target. Thanks a lot, your video arrived just on time 😅😊
Wow, Alex! Best video you've ever put out! I definitely get too rigid in my normal swing and need to work with your drills! Thanks!
Glad you liked it and it resonated Greg. Let us know how it goes ⛳️💪
I watched this yesterday and took it to the course today. It really does work! Thank you for simplifying the backswing and eliminating so much of that technical nonesense that the average Club golfer can never hope to perform.
Well that’s great! Keep at it 🏌️♂️👍⛳️
Thanks for the simplification!🎉
Wow,never thought about this. Tried it in my garden and it felt smooth and was freely executed. Gotta try it on the range 🤔
That awesome, brilliant, take it easy and let dive into it, let you shine on the fairway soon
🏌🏽👍 cheers and hope it helps
well done! That really helped staying lite in the arms and shoulders.
For god’s sake, why people try to make you believe golf is harder than it is??? We are amateurs and all we need is some fun at the best place on earth.
I’m happy to finally found you to get my golf back!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Outstanding video Sir, thank you very much.
This video spoke to me on so many levels and I'll be watching it a few more times before my next session.
Delighted to hear it resonated Glen! Let us know when you can give it a try 🏌️♂️👍
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf
Will do Sir.
It's supposed to rain all day today here in Southern California so I'll have to wait a day or two.
I instantly saved the video in my "Golf" file so I'll be able to find it without ussue.
Thanks for producing and sharing such great content, I love it.
I even added you to my "lottery list." When I win the lottery I would love to come take lessons and play a few rounds together.
Totally agree 👍 I concentrate on my wrist hinge & 90 degree angle on my right elbow bend, I now can control the ball strike much more consistently than my old one piece take away
That’s super. Well done and thanks for sharing
Great Lesson. You make it so simple.
Glad you think so and hope it helps
You’re the best, Alex.
Natural flow is refreshing 👍 Thanks coach!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Outstanding points for every golfer… especially older, less flexible golfers. Thank you!
Very welcome
Great advice . Exactly what I’ve been doing . Very ridged
10:49 I watch a lot of your videos. I’m in the latter half of my seventies and the advice you give to just swing the club about three quarters in warmups is what I use to warm up and waiting to hit. I also try thing of moving the hips first (in my practice swings only!). This simply works, my complaint now is I hit shorter irons further than I expect…I’ll live with it. 😊
Great! I’m happy to hear and keep at it. Those wedges will be dialed in by now 🏌️♂️👍⛳️
Not complicated how you explained that thank you
You're welcome!
Thank you sir
You’re advice is worth trying.
I have watched countless videos to find that natural feeling to the golf swing without being so analytical I just want to go out on the course make decent contact and have fun. It has been so discouraging for me going to the range and not being able to get it and actually losing confidence and being reluctant to pick up a golf club hopefully this will work.
How’s it going? 🏌️♂️
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf
Thank you for the response
I actually haven’t gone to the range and have been just going out on the course to play but will soon enough.Going out to course today so may just go and try it out with some balls at the range prior.
It’s so funny because my practice swings are great just that ball seems to be my biggest obstacle it makes me forget everything.
in turn the same results I’m sure it will come around.
Agree, thank you
🏌️♂️👍
Great advice
Thanks Lenard 🏌️♂️
Thanks!
You bet!
Really interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it
This type of takeaway also helps keep me from swaying too much to my back foot and leg. When done right, I actually understand for the first time what they mean when they say you feel the inside of the back foot and press/lean forward, hips rotating on axis. Great vid
Yes another benefit! 👍🏌️♂️
I started doing this. Basically the L to L drill. One arm a time then both. It's the first time I actually started feeling the weight of the club and when you use the one arm drill it forces you to use your body in the correct manner to swing the club. My swing speed has increased dramatically, the path. I've learned to trust it and let it go. My swing has become completely effortless. Although I shoot in the mid 80s I believe I now feel how the golf swing should be. It's completely effortless and has saved my back. That simple drill you show might be the best drill in golf. My only thought when I'm over the ball now is a silent count in my head of 1..2 for my tempo. It makes golf fun. Thanks for the videos.
Well I’m delighted to hear that. We shared a lesson a couple of months back on that topic and some good nuggets to improve and refine it. Well done for getting there and keep at it. Thanks for sharing! 🏌️♂️👍
So nice to hear when someone has found their swing. Hope springs! Cheers.
Great
Thanks
You’re more than welcome!
Should one start the back swing with ones right hand? I was informed that the left hand/arm was the plan. I mainly concentrate on me clearing the left hip, that's always been my plan, but like many of us, we try all sorts when we can! Another great tip Alex, am your number one fan!
Hi Alan!! I’ts a blend and depends on whether you have over dominant hand etc 🏌️♂️👍
Great video and your absolutely right we all watch Rory etc trying to emulate them,I'm 57 now and play off 4 so a decent standard but there's no way I can get into the positions he gets into lol I'm too old so yea definitely try and be more natural and swing with in yourself 👍
Well said indeed. 🏌️♂️👍
You have just described my golf swing since 1990 after a road accident. Lack of movement creating a collapse. The vast majority of my practice is on timing. I simply have to to accommdate the collapse. I've never been able to find the 'STOP' position that would keep my back swing shorter and more reliable. I'm playing off 4.3 and I'm 58 next month so not doing too badly.
How do you find the STOP position and the shorter swing?
I'm so glad your channel came up in my feed. Best teaching channel I've ever seen by a country mile.
Thanks for sharing your life's story. It's comments like yours that I come to the comments section to read.
Personally, I've always had a compact swing. I've never been flexible and when I started playing hockey at 16 and really getting into it around 18 or 19, I think that had a big influence into helping shape my Golf Swing.
This video spoke volumes to me in a few different ways.
When I do a "full turn" it's rare that my shot works out. So, I have learned my "limit" and try to stick to it and things go ok.
As a whole, I absolutely love this ASG channel, Danny Maude, and Mike Malaska. All three of then seem to be primarily focused on simplification and ease in the swing.
I hope you find the official answer to you "stop" question and when you do, please share because I would love to hear what you discover.
Well I’m very glad you’re with us now 👍🏌️♂️ thanks for sharing this. We have several videos encouraging and reading the shorter swing. And perhaps long for the short vs long backswing lesson too.
It’s why the program The Short Swing Maximizer was created.
Look for the short swing lessons and the vs and I’m confident that will provide a key or two for you. And if desired, progress with the program. 👍🏌️♂️💪⛳️
We have a backswing length test in the short vs long lesson here that may assist. Thanks for your input and I’m sure this and the don’t turn your shoulders lesson will help💪⛳️
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf Thankyou. I will have a browse. It all gets better when the weather warms up, this down at freezing stuff really does restrict the movement.
Creepy how UA-cam suggested this video because I just literally figured out on my own, in my head never speaking it or typing it, exactly what is contained in this video. Anyways, this affirms I was on the right track of correcting my poor and rigid takeaway and now I have drills help that. Thank you!
Ha! Well glad to help affirm it for you:) keep at it 🏌️♂️
thanks for telling the truth always! 🙏🏻
My pleasure!! 🏌️♂️👍⛳️
Hi Alex, I love how you explain things because you DO it so well that I GET It. I’m an older woman, who still tries to get the best out each swing. ❤ Australia
I’m delighted to hear that! Thanks for sharing and keep at it 🏌️♂️👍
For a righty,should our left arm be relatively straight on the back swing?
Thanks for all the great video! I had some of my best range and golf rounds last few weeks. More power and distance. Back is still a problem working on conditioning old injuries, 54 yr old golfer. Toe touches are the worst. Mobility is excellent ortherwise. I have a question. Why would 90 degree feet, no foot flare help my swing. I have flared my feet in hope of freeing up my hips with minimal results. Feet 90 degrees to the target line appears to have transformed my swing. Actually less strain with no flare. Would love to hear why this may work for my body type, movement tendencies. I experimented and really strike the ball way better with squared feet. Thoughts?
Hi Ed! Without seeing your swing (you mentioned a while back coming into town I believe too) but it is personal movements and how you are wired etc. just the flaring helps “most”. If you’ve not seen it yet, look at my video a few weeks back on Langer. He stands narrower and square toed.
It’s about how you pelvis moves. We don’t want to intentionally turn hips much.. they are just allowed too. If you are seeing better results because of a better pivot and sequence and it’s not affecting your back… go for it!! Keep at it 💪👍🏌️♂️
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf Thanks! I will check the video with Manger. He is one of the greats!
This sounds so much like my swing, too rigid and worried about getting the club in the right position. When this happens I get stuck at the top and not able to start the downswing, very frustrating!!! I'll try your drills next time I'm out and hopefully that will work. Do you have a thought when starting the backswing to make it more natural and flow?
Thanks for all your advice so far.
Let us know how it goes. This might be suitable ua-cam.com/video/xf6PE5gCpBo/v-deo.html
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf I played using the info in the lesson that you linked and it worked well, I didn't have that pause at the top and unable to start the downswing. Even though my handicap went up by one the swing felt a lot better and easier. Now to work on trying to square the club face to stop the wayward shots and also stop the slight over-the-top I have!
Many thanks.
At last someone tells me the truth - I am not and will never manage to copy Viktor Hovland or Rory McIlroy - what a release. Since I started with golf 4 years ago I have been teached to strectch and tilt far too much - resulting in swaying, backpain, shanks, hooks and slices. Your simle explanation confirms what I have been close to see the few times when I play well. But the problem is that I have not beeing able to repeat it. I tend to fall back into streching and overswinging as everybody is teaching me.
I have tested your tips and it works - what a releif. Optismistic as always and hopefully this will be a permanent gamechanger for me. Thanks!
Excellent to hear this resonated and made sense. Let us know how it goes 🏌️♂️
Hi Alex Why make it complicated when it can be simple! I love lesson thank you 😀
Glad you liked it!🏌️♂️👍
My swing 'feels' different every day!
An old pro said that he would see what swing he had for that day and work with that, rather than always expect to hit it the same!
Great video and really sound and simple advice, as always, for us hackers!
He was a wise man. 🏌️♂️ go and find yours and I’m confident the drills will help 👍
Excellent advice and may I suggest the second biggest mistake golfer make copying the pros? It is keeping that front foot planted. Let that foot come up. Nicklaus did, Bobby Jones did; all the greats of the day did. Does a baseball player keep his front foot planted when making a throw? Does a javelin thrower? Do you when you throw a ball? No! It is natural to let that foot come up if it wants to. Keeping it planted increases tension and can even injure you.
Yes it can help a lot of players for sure! We cover it in a few lessons on UA-cam and also some programs. Great move when used correctly
yes. excellent vid. bill mehlhorn says in his vid that "there is no such thing as a one piece takeaway"; and, he is right. your right arm drill is the perfect demonstration on how to swing the right arm freely. and, strange as it may sound, if a player focuses on allowing their manubrium to move away from their thorax- when doing the right arm drill- it helps the arm to swing back freely. i do think that the problem that the game has is that it has never got to grips with how the waggle shapes the takewaway. we waggle the club back by pressing the heel pad of the left hand to the left; and, return the club to the ball by pressing the wrist joint towards the grip. the heel pad resists against the wrist joint, as it returns the club to the ball. the digiti minimi and flexor retinaculum work as antagonistic opposites, in the waggle. and, that shapes the backswing. "as ye waggle so shall ye swing".
How would you move your sternum away from your chest?
@@mvmac25 well, it is actually the sternoclavicular joint that retracts away from the thorax
@@mvmac25 i wouldn't
@@DASH1ful wouldn't do what?
@@mvmac25 move my sternum away from my chest
You work with what you have and go from there and you will enjoy this game a lot better.
💪🏌️♂️
It's a bit like when you want to throw a pebble on water so that it bounces. Thank you for this video.
Yes superb visual
To me the hardest thing to do is whip the club through the bottom of the swing. Whip, shallow, or what ever term you want to use. The main objective is to create head speed.
It start in the wrist at the top of the swing and to be relaxed. I find it interesting how little this is talked a out and how much focus is on hips, legs, rotation, arm position.
I swear all the coaches think that part of the swing is so natural. I wish I would have learned the whip or head speed and then work on the other parts. It feels so foreign to swing the club to obtain club head speed beings I have swung it so much trying to do the other mechanics.
Try feet together drill 💪👍
Starts with the hands. This is what golf professionals don’t tell you. Start with the hand, wrist, arms, shoulders your body will follow with the weight of the club leading. On the down swing , same exact sequence. Very easy and uncomplicated. If you try to shift your weight first you will throw the entire system off and struggle your entire golfing life.
Less formality and rigid of triangle is the point. Sequence is similar and making it more natural. First for it to become natural we have to break the golf swing cycle
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf you lost me. What is the golf swing cycle. Never heard of that. Maybe you mean paradigm shift? If so I agree.
I look like a robot in my swing will give it a try
😂🏌️♂️🤖
Dr Kwon goes over this on his UA-cam channel.
The thing is that everybody wants to hit further and therefore they are looking for something to do so. But in reality it is counter productive and killing the fun of the game
Well said indeed!
Yeah it's like stepping like your pitching a ball . Lower body steps into it

One piece takeaway singlehandedly ruined my golf swing. Ditched my instructor and went to one who is more "feel" based
Sounds a lot like the Ernest Jones ideas on the golf swing……my opinion
I know a tiny bit about his idea. 🏌️♂️
Attaya Thitikul is clearly on the freakiest and most elite athletes to play the game if golf. By rotating off the ball during the downswing. she maximizes her physical advantage to the Nth degree. Moving away from the ball isn't a bad thing. Particularly for less athletic people. And there are millions out there!! Just don't move towards the ball on the backswing. As the video states keep your head back at impact. Few can move like Atthaya. Just try and copy those two moves.
Well said indeed 🏌️♂️👍
Next time… before you get up to walk, think about how you need to bend your knees and ankles at the perfect angle and at the specific time to keep balance and momentum.
Yes, it sounds crazy… yet in Golf we accept it.
Always a find it lose it
Keep it simple
