Funnily enough - the Pro at Express Golf played exactly the same YouTube clip of Ben Hogan TurnerGuy mentioned above!!
lots of pros have different swing thoughts but they all pretty much do that same move, with different amounts of emphasis.
And the relevant swing thought often changes with time, as you get used to one feeling it becomes natural and you can then overdo it to get the same feel, so you need another thought to concentrate on.
That's why pros have so much trouble and need constant tweeking.
That's why I switched to cycling, so much less frustrating and so much better for your fitness, and much, much less requirement to practise.
How often do you come back frustrated from a ride ?

How often do you come back not frustrated from a round of golf?
Well an update... Tonight I'm absolutely buzzing!!
Decided on a change of pro the other week. Found the pro wasn't overly encouraging & tended to over complicate things. Happened to be in American golf buying a set of irons (Ping G25's) and the chap who was fitting me was superb. Anyway,to cut a long story short he is now my teaching pro.
So, after two lessons with the chap tonight while practising what he'd been teaching something just clicked. Managed to get over (for now at least) the nasty habit I had of hitting the ball with the face open. Was hitting ball after ball around 110 yards either straight or with that lovely left curve that he'd been trying to get me to master.
Suddenly feels like the golf bug is really starting to catch!
