His books are excellent too. His book, Getting Up and Down, is perhaps the only book most golfers will ever need for their short game. Forget all of the other “gurus “ except for Lee Trevino who in his prime was probably the greatest wedge player.
Tom’s explaining of the grip in relation to the cocking of the wrists was a new insight for me. The cocking of the wrists is as subtle as the un cocking of the wrists. Holding the club lightly is better understood by realizing that to grip the club tightly doesn’t allow for the necessary focus of keeping the left arm straight in the backswing and downswing.
poor Jack. It's probably the only time I saw him look like/he thought he had a tournament wrapped up before the last shot was hit. Could you imagine Nicklaus with another U.S. Open and 19 majors. Incredible still.............
210yards, uses a 2-iron. I actually liked the old yardages. Today it’s 210 yards,….and a 7-iron . I know, equipment etc, but I still like the distances they would hit.
Once he writes a letter to Augusta to beg McCord to come back, I’ll “respect” and watch his game…. til then, may you forever live in the shadow of the GOAT
@@jeffreybone3445 I’ve known lots of people to shoot their mouth off and they regretted nothing… cuz they were right. I think you are human and I never plan on watching your game… oh no! Is karma coming for me??
This lesson is an absolute gem. This guy has more credibility than any yotuube golfers you could ever encounter today.
Because “this guy” is a champion. Not a UA-camr
As a boy that grew up in Kansas City- Olathe JO CO- every now and then you see Watson - His short game is the best in the Midwest-
This man is pure class.
So much wisdom from a true gentleman of the game. Thanks Tom. Love from England.
The GO AT Jack faced legends and finished second to legends 19 times in majors. Watson's chip in sealed the deal in this clip.
I have watched a lot of golf and golf instruction over the years. This is excellent instruction.
Thanks for uploading.
best golf instruction ever
I will ALWAYS love the great TOM WATSON!
That was a sick lesson ! Thanks for uploading

Dave Pelz short game Bible. He TAUGHT Tom Watson, and Phil, and VJ, and 8 other champions.
Yea, Tom’s book is great, but because of Pelz!

Such a shame he didn't win in 2009(so close!!!!), it would have been the icing on the cake to a wonderful career.
Thanks for sharing.

I don't know anyone that hasn't shot their mouth off and later regretted it. Still a world class player, if not a human being

Keep spin angle , twist around the base of your head
I’m a 24 handicap, let’s see if I can become scratch now
You don’t hinge the wrist at all?
