Crazy Swing

Me and my mate got paired up with another 2 ball today. Both chaps were a lot older than us but got on really well and was a really enjoyable round of golf. However one guy had the following swing. Mental.

think he must have been coached by Happy Gilmour!

I had a lesson with the pro after the round who had taught him a few times. Said that he had been playing this way for 20 years (he is in his 70's by the way)

The pro also said that he doesnt normally tell anyone that he had tried to teach him. lol

what was his handicap?

I think he was playing off around 24. Used to be off 15 in his day.

How far did he stand from the ball with irons?

Dave CAC handed Geordie.

Wasnt as far Away with his Irons but still a bit of distance. 

Happy Gilmore at Eighty years old!!!!!

its really funny that a pro had me standing that far behind the ball as a drill on monday.

The idea was to not initiate my swing with a weight transfer back ( i know that transfering back then forward is commonly taught, but in my coaches opinion this creates less room for the right side and promotes a steeper over the top swing )

i could make great contact, but trying to keep the ball right was impossible.

How did this guy hit it, surely most things went low and left ?
