ABOUT ALEX AND THE ART OF SIMPLE GOLF
-----------------------
Golf wins in the complication department. No other sport boasts the amount of gadgets, swing fixes, variations of balls, clubs, tees, courses, not to mention weather!, however, it is not as difficult as you have been led to believe.
Or at the very least as complicated and frustrating as the golf industry has you made you you think.
The Art of Simple Golf was born when confusion overruled the joy of golf. - Спорт

@@extrememetaldrummer1 glad you liked it:)
Neat! I'm 62 and my dad used to tell me to just "get out of the way of the club". You are effectively getting the right side out of the way when winding up (which is a great thought).
Your dad knew a thing or two!! Great!
Absolutely right. It’s taken me decades to learn this. Thinking turn was all wrong.Thinking wind has helped me get more consistent.
Great to hear!
Fantastic alex give you such a great swing thought and simplifys it cheers 👍🏻🏌🏻♂️
i can't believe how simple and effective this tip is. completely fixed my swing, thank you!
Well that is very good to hear! (Although don’t count all your pro v1’s at once ) golf is fikkle even for the best in the world. But stay on track, work on the feel you have got and refine your process and intent for each shot :)
Absolutely spot on Alex! The terms turn your shoulders, rotate your body hv caused many problems for so long.
You hv thrown a lot of light on it, it's like pushing the trail shoulder back and up and let every thing else follow. This way, It gets your back to fully face the target and still keep you fully centred. Great advice !
The shoulders actually move up and down in the swing rather than from side to side. Such an eye-opener!
One the best swing thoughts ever. It's made a huge difference in my contact and compression for all full swings. Thanks!
Well thanks for letting g us know! Wonderful good news and I’m sure it’s the strat of many good rounds
Aweaome video. Great swing thought on a complicated motion. Can't wait to try it..
Very helpful tip!
Very helpful. My swing had deteriorated over the summer to the point where I was considering giving up the game. This along with the video with advice for senior golfers gave me concrete ideas to take to the range. I am encouraged by the results. Thank you for so generously sharing your understanding.
Excellent to hear! Glad you are with us and these lessons helped already. A lot more we can do I’m sure ;) keep at it!
GREAT STUFF my good man. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate it and hope other lesson here and on the site help too :)
Absolutely loved that...will try today!
Let us know how it goes!
Great video thanks
Look forward to put this swing thought into practice. Thank you
It’s helped many and please let us know how you get on!
AWESOME tip ! Thanks for sharing :)
Hope it helps!!
i like your ideas and thoughts here, looks like a very simple action, a bit like stack and tilt and i like that. thnx.
Fantastic tips for me👏🏻👍🏻😁 after a long period widt bad golf this tips get me back on track. No more swing thoughts in my back swing. Greetings from Norway😊🇳🇴🏌🏼
Hello Norway!! Glad to hear it and enjoy some golf!
tried it today on the range....felt so good. also improved control on direction. reduced sway. amazing tip
Well that’s great to hear. Keep going and thanks for letting us know ;)
Thanks for sharing. It sounds so simple and yet it works. Left shoulder down, Right shoulder and side up.
Yes it does! Keep at it
Another wonderful tips
Why thank you!
Thanks! I take lessons w and old pro and we focused on my right shoulder! Everything else flows! Spot on!
Thanks for letting us know and glad you are feeling it ;) keep at it;)
Great concept that I have never seen before. I like it. Thanks
Hope it helps you! Let us know
Hi Alex, Steve from Warrington in Cheshire here. I am “guilty as charged”, I have a tendency and bad habit of ‘swaying’ and not staying centred that has plagued my game for far too long. As a regular subscriber, I know how good your and Shawn Clement’s advice is. Haven’t seen this particular video before but so helpful and potentially as you said “gamechanging”. I really appreciate all that you do, keep up the great work please mate.....! 👍😉⛳️
I am so sorry for my delayed reply... hundreds of comments a day at the moment and some get lost. Apologies. Hope the game back in Cheshire is going well!!
This had made the biggest difference in both my iron and driver play! THANK YOU!
Excellent! Keep at it and I hope we have others that will help too:)
Thanks for this, exactly what I was looking for. So Liked the video and subscribed!
Thanks and welcome! Hope we have other lessons here and on website that will help :)
Best lesson for me!!!!!
Thanks and I expect we have others on this channel and the website that can help too!
This is just unbelievable! I tried this way of thinking on my last round... and it was amazing. Sure, I did have some mishits but overall everything felt so much easier. Thank you!!
Well that is marvelous to hear!!! keep at it and I hope we can build on it with you:)
Really great feel.. squeezing insteps to create more of a wind-up. Really helpful, thank you!
Glad you like it ;)
Nice lesson. Thanks!.
Good to hear
Tried 10 swings today with this simplified thought process. Very promising and simple to perform. Thanks for sharing!
Great to hear! And let us know how you get on!
Absolutely superb! I remember once watching a video refer to the wind-up as like starting a chain saw. Great video. Thanks!
It’s like that but a bit less “snatchy” than trying to start an ol rusty mower 😜
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf my golf swing b better if I used a chain saw ..:-)
Optimal! Clear and easily practicable explanations. Not only do you explain what is right to do but above all how effective is it. I follow 5-6 online instructors but I have to say that with you I got immediate results. After this video I finally saw my driver traveling straight and with high trajectories, gradually increasing the distance as I practiced. And only after an hour of training on the pitch. Go on like this. Greetings from Italy Andrea
Well I’m delighted to hear that and thanks for sharing! Well done and keep going:)
Awesome lesson. A lot us need this kind of thought. process because losing our center over the ball is an "impact" wrecker. Thanks.
Yes! Still allow flow and movement though as transition is natural
Excellent advice.
Thanks and hope it delivers what feels you need
Perfect swing thought, I saw a visual of pulling a string to start a lawn mower and tried it but I wasn’t confident it was the correct move until today’s affirmation of this very useful tip even for a septuagenarian like me with spinal issues. Thank you and pls continue what you are doing. Salute!
Why thank you and I will continue especially getting results and hearing from folks like you !
Looking forward to giving this a try during my next practice session
Super and let us know how you get on with it;)
Hi,nice set up.good stuff,like how you concentrate on one thing and one thing only.thank you
Thanks and hope it helps!
Perfect. I saw an Alex Elliot video in which he compared the winding up to pulling the starter rope of a lawnmower engine. Great to hear the same advice from 2 instructors.
Hi, he’s got some good tips for sure. But... I see too often that feel going a little wrong because we are too strong with dominant side and we pull arms across chest. So same feel but be wary
ua-cam.com/video/MDWsDj4cOsQ/v-deo.html
Gold indeed
Thank you !
You’re welcome!
Thankyou 👏
Hi once again Alex, you’re totally awesome bud. I’m really blown away with how you present your instructions in such a deconstructed manner. I’m 60yrs young and a 24 handicapper, my goal this year is to get to a single digit handicap, I’m afraid to say, you’re coming along for the ride. 😂 I’ll keep you posted. Cheers my buddy I hope you have a brilliant 2023 and keep the great videos coming. We need you more than you know. 👍🏻 right I’m off to the range.
Well I’m delighted to hear that and I’m with you every step of the way! 🏌️♂️👍💪
Great advice. Thank you for doing this. I am trying to get a better pivot, a shorter back swing and eliminate a sway. I think focusing on my right shoulder moving up and behind me and my right side stretching will help me achieve this. I'll look out for your review of that training aid.
Great to hear and please let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
🏌️♂️
This is a brilliant tip. This was the sensation when I’ve played my best golf. I just didn’t know it
Often the case lol! Hope this helps refine it and stick
OMG..Golf instruction that actually makes sense.
That’s the goal! Hope this and others we have on here in and website help
Great tip
Cheers
Just the help I needed. Many thanks
Great and let us know how you get on with it!
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf I gave it a try today (30 degrees, brrrr!) and it made a huge difference. I'm 69 and have bee struggling with a flat backswing for awhile. This has got me started on the comeback trail . Thanks!!
@@pata9503 love it!! Great to hear and keep it it. Hope we have other lessons on the channel and our resources on the website too will help
was getting on a plane for Palm Springs this weekend and came upon this video. literally took this to the course and used it immediately. Worked great. striking the ball crisply. Actually had good divots.
Amazing.. Thank you
Well that is awesome! But have to say a wee bit jealous as buried in with snow here! Hope the next round goes well too! Remover to always react to a specific shot feel and target. Be precise with objective and have the swing that you are feeling now.
What an unbelievable tip !
Just tried on my carpet and immediately everything felt connected and 90% simpler ! I know I will play well tomorrow. Big Thanks
How good is that! Exactly the goal :)
Wow really simple and effective, really helped me hit draws more consistently and kept me from coming over the top. Great video
Brilliant! And thanks for letting us know how it worked for you:)
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
You deserve many good things.
And you sir :)
Thanks Alex another great tip. I will have to take it to the driving ranch. I know it works because I have tried it before but sometimes, I forget these key movements.
Keep the flow and keep it simple:) remember to respond to the target and your shot you want
This looks fantastic I’m gonna try tonight. It reminds me a bit of Hank Haney philosophy of keeping the same angle on the shaft at address as the top of the back swing. Loved this video well done and thanks for sharing 👏
Not sure I know of that re Haney... will look into it to see what you you are referring to though. Cheers!
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf e3
I tried your wind up swing last Thursday and I found that I was getting much better contact and distance with my clubs. It's like a light bulb went off in my swing. I am 79 years old and in the past I was around a 10-12 handicap. I had a different swing every time I played but now I have the best swing I have ever had. I played again this past Saturday and did not have quite the swing I had but that was because I was not winding up properly. I look forward to playing again this Tuesday and I am going to concentrate on the 3inches on the trail shoulder and winding up. Thanks for this video.
Oh this is excellent to hear!! Better late than never as they say :) you might also benefit from the other fairly recent lesson on the longer as you get older and how to release speed arms. Perfect combo without complication:)
please do let us know how it goes!
Brilliance!
💪🏌️♂️
Great advice to just think on the “wind up” genius
It works a treat :)
I want to thank you. I messaged you 3 months ago when I just started golfing and you told me about a few things. You are the best teacher. I feel my legs now stomach the turn up in back swing. The load and my pressure on front leg. You a great great great coach. If ever in Miami please respond and let me know.
Great to hear! Thanks for sharing and coming back to share your experience. We will be doing a golf clinic in Florida soon I hope
Brilliant 😉 the battle in the mind versus biomechanics can be the most brutal fight in any sport. "Am I doing this right?" creates hesitation, doubt, makes things feel "weird" ultimately causing so much stress that the game ceases to be fun. Thanks coach 👍
Exactly!!’ We are our own worst enemies :) hope this and others we have on channel help you a lot too
Great tip and excellent video! As an instructor, the “wind up” resonates with lots of golfers, especially those struggling with activating hips, core, chest. Well done!!
Appreciate that!
I love it
Nice 👍🏿
Cheers and hope it helps!
Great instruction. I would love to see a video where you address "combining" the wind up thought with keeping the arms in front of the chest in the backswing with the "supple" right arm. In other words, how not to get "stuck" with the wind up thought process / movement. Thanks!
Had a few ask similar so I think I will :) keep a look out !
This is another school of thought ; feels like it reduces the “evil sway” crossing over the right knee and thus a better weight shift - keeping it centred as you mentioned, for the back swing; also a simpler way of keeping the right shoulder higher than the left with the back facing the target, hence keeping a better rotation along the plane, in my opinion.
Yes it helps all those things. Well said
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf thanks 😊
Thanks, this is better than left shoulder down for some reason. I guess it is because I don't have to think, "how far down"! You are very helpful.
I prefer it.
Just subscribed liking it 👍
Welcome!
thanks for the tip. any adjustment to the preset tilt for long iron and driver? thanks
For sure. Ball position and spine tilt
Can you show me this move with the g force 7 iron please?
I love the thought, turning and how much of it has always been a concern of mine. What about the follow through? Could it be the same winding up on the other side?
Yes more or less the same.. just allow the flow of arms to occur
dang good tip
Let us know if you apply it and how it helps
Hi great video and tip. Does this work with driver?
Yes it does. Set up adjustment is all
Glad to see a pro confirmation.
Great !
With the sheer volume of comments you get, I don't expect this will be read, but had to enter my 2 cents. Sometimes you have to search for just the right word, the right turn of phrase that will click with a student. You have done that for me. I have improved my game 1000% with two simple techniques. 1) Keeping my head stationary (which is not the same as keeping your eye on the ball and 2) drive the downswing with the butt (end) of the club. I have played 3 days in a row, and feel giddy as a schoolgirl. My undying thanks.
I am delighted to hear this has resonated with you and delivering the results! It is indeed all about what triggers you and your swing. It can be a word or a feel.. that's the key. Not being told what positions Rory hits so you should as well.
Your swing keys that you mention are perfect. Keep at it and glad you are with us.
Another great video- I still can’t figure out the feet - watched 2 videos you made about the feet and I’m still struggling with the sequence/ how the feet move, apply pressure etc - that being said, I hit the range with some goals - shoulder tilt, applying pressure on my right ribcage and moving up vs shoulder moving too much side to side , and the backswing. I let my fore arms be relaxed and pushed the butt end of club up as I go back- it was the funnest range sessions yet . I hit a lot of good balls- I hit my 6-PW really well, unlike I have done before, but I still can’t hit my driver/3wood/5 iron worth a damn. The longer the club gets the more I stink- but wow my shorter irons make a cracking noise that sounds kinda cool-
The feet and weight transfer are my biggest issues - I watched your videos and tried to take notes, I lifted my right foot up , dropped it and then started swing, I just can’t figure out how to do it and ‘understand it’
You are a good teacher.. wish I could get lessons from you - I love golf, but I love ‘starting to understand’ what I’m actually doing even more - the best golf I play, I like to call ‘the 200 yard game’ I can’t hit the long clubs, so the farthest I can hit a hybrid or 5 iron if I get lucky is 200, I stray from that way of playing because the cats I play with can hit there long clubs 225-290. Then I try to hit my long clubs and the swing is so horrible I forget how to hit my shorter irons, then I’m lost again. But shit is changing! I know with what you taught me I’m going to be able to play my 200 yard game even better.
I just don’t understand why as the clubs get longer my swing get worse - I’m not a great golfer got my handicap down to 14.8 last year briefly- but its back up to 32 now- haven’t played in a couple weeks, I’m just practicing until weather is better.
I commented to the foot video asking if you could ‘spell out the footwork’ you let me know you had no clue what I meant! Understandably!
I was just hoping when those little boxes pop up in your videos they would spell out the steps a little better. ( like, right ft up,left on heel, left down etc.)
Thanks for making videos, you do a damn good job at it - could you do one that is the whole swing and maybe list out all the steps? From address to grip, feet work, backswing etc? Abbreviated , not every little thing obviously , just some checkpoints-
I know it’s a lot but to have a checklist of things would be great, even if it’s 20 things, something we can screenshot and go work on. Then we can watch the different videos to work on individual things as needed-
Thanks again!
Hi, I’m afraid too much cover here especially as not seen your swing. You can order an online lesson or join The Online club.
Just remember to focus on the target and shot you want to hit on the course.. not so much mechanics. We can only think of 1 set up cue and one/two moves at most.
Certainly noted on your comment for the pop up instructions etc. we have done it on many but will refine some more in future :)
Good
Thanks for the video, can you elaborate more on the leg action in the wind up motion? The leg motion in the back swing and then the forward swing transition is where I need more help. Thanks again
Ok... number 1 lesson for you... try not to think of everything as segmented too much. It’s one golf swing. Fluid and flow.
Think of Bobby jones or Snead.. got a great video coming in that very subject ;)
But in the mean time... The feel is right hip height and going behind.
And the leg motion for the most part can reverse that but avoid letting rip hip move too much to the ball as you come down.
It depends on what you are doing right now of course :)

Gold
Thanks!
Love this! Does this work in reverse on the downswing as well with the lead side winding up? New sub.
Yes because we want to feel extension up and posting of lead leg but it will have a lot more freedom. It’s more of an unwinding
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf my teacher wants me to fully extend in the follow thru. I’m struggling with it. Do you have any videos that could help?
@@jawjuh1005 many lol! Here’s just one! ua-cam.com/video/yM8NFtTsyds/v-deo.html you have to focus more on responding to your target Over an intermediate point as well
I was an over turner/rotator for years, amazingly straight shots but could only carry it 210. Ive sorted it out now but this video would have saved a few years of frustration!
That's a common challenge.. hope this helps. Keep at it:)
Very excellent to speak out the truth by saying winding up instead of rotation , a concept that hurt my golf dream finally almost ruins my spine for making rotations here and there.
We need to be careful with our backs and body for sure.
Hey love the video, but will you lose any power with this technique?
Nope you don’t have too. Keep supple wrists and flow
Would you do this motion also with driver? I am asking this question since with driver I am turning my shoulders around (so it looks flat or levelish but I do not raise up in backswing)Thank you.
Yes the same feel:) it’s the set up and the theoughswing to feel more like arms are slinging away from you
I took this to the range today to try it out and it feels really strange - almost as if i'm just lifting the club up and not turning at all. But it seems to keep the club more on plane so i'll keep trying it.
Keep at it and hope it’s got easier
I do it by changing knee flexes. That is my take away thought and also getting lead shoulder closer to ground.
🏌🏽👍
Good lesson and this is the secret sauce to ball striking.
One of them :)
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf Truth. For me though, a similar tip from Paddy Harrington completely changed my swing from a swaying inside swing where I pulled everything to a nice easy winding swing on proper path that now produces a piercing high straight shot. Funny part is it’s so much easier than doing it wrong, LOL :)
@@thenextgreat8652 we all can make golf way more stressful and harder than it need be. But for too long the instruction and golf industry like it that way :) some of it for sure helps.. but too much overthinking hinders
Really good tip for all handicap players.
Glad you think so!
I am 75 and found by concentrating on bringing my rear hip behind me I get more shoulder tyn than by concentrating on shoulder turn
Good players have a better from the hips body turn. For me one of the reasons tiger was so good he just turned from the hips so much better than everyone else
Turning the thoracic spine brought my score from a 51 on the front nine to a 42 on the back. I know that golf tips only work for a day, but I'm thinking this might be my breakthrough moment...
Good video. The first motion on your video with turn you can do it without moving too much to right side but you can stay central and turn which I do. The other motion would be more tilted which is not good for my lower back. Any comments would be appreciated.
Yes turning is fine if stay centered ... but too many don’t. Hence the lesson.
I would try and combine the feels but allow your hips etc to turn behind and not restrict the upper/lower body. Turning right toe out as well will help that
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf Thank you. Yes, I do not keep my lower body restricted at all. I turn my hips and stay central. My shoulder turn is just around on from the setup position. It is also the feeling turning my back towards the target. Thanks again.
Suggestion only: when you watch on youtube shoulder turn/rotation in backswing, they show always the same more or less. So maybe you can show forms of shoulder turn (just focusing on shoulder turns )...what happens exactly to the left shoulder but without sway etc...Thank you
Thanks for the very informative videos. I could swear you’re related to Justin Rose. You probably taught him all he knows!
Erm.... not quite lol :)
Haaaa true....this guy reminded me of J Rose.
Do you also have this technique for drivers and woods?
A new one that covers this with drivers is publishing next week I think
But it’s similar for most part
👍👍👍
❤️it
Great to hear!
the late Payne Stewart in my opion had the greatest takeaway ( Jack as well )....it all starts with a slow and smooth one piece takeaway which only really has to be a few inches to then let the body simply takeover...don't think....trust :-)
Well said!
👍🏾👍🏾

🏌🏆
Winding up has always been my swing thoughts
Excellent!!
I'm gonna try this. My back muscle is always being pulled and strained because im trying to turn too much.
I'm confident this will ease it. We have other tweaks you might like too.
