It’s possible to be good with a weird swing

For every piece of golf advice telling you to do one thing, you can find another that contradicts it. Therefore, it really should come as no surprise that professional golf has seen quite a number of strange and fascinating swings.

The intricacies of the golf swing are many and varied and Moe Norman was a good example of having one of the weirdest golf swings in history.

Apparently, he was an eccentric person with a swing that was very odd, which is the basis for the swing theory called “Natural Golf.”

Jim Furyk is probably the bestknown golfer who possesses an unorthodox swing but it’s a swing that allowed him to become a major winner and have a wonderful career.

Eamonn Darcy is one of the most successful golfers ever from Ireland, but it was said that his swing looked like a drunk trying to walk home.

Jim Thorpe’s attempts to strike the little white ball looked like a helicopter and Ray Floyd’s swing, unlike a fine wine, became worse with age.

When John Daly burst onto the scene his backswing never seemed to stop.

Then there was Jimmy Bruen, one of the most talented amateur golfers ever to come from Ireland but to appreciate his swing a couple of Guinness were required.

Tommy “Two Glove” Gainey got his start on the television show The Big Break.

Arnold Palmer learned the game by hitting the ball as hard as he could in any way that worked, whilst Josh Broadaway holds his left hand below the right on the club, completely unorthodox.

Allen Doyle’s swing is not a thing of beauty, but he has won 11 times on PGA Tour Champions (senior tour) so who’s to say it’s wrong.

Out of Bounds: Charles Barkley, one of the best NBA basketballers of all time, had one of the worst golf swings of all time, driving several golf coaches to drink and into mental asylums.
