Colton doesn’t play golf. He never really swung a club. So, I’m going to start him out with this. We’ll get him a club. I want you to set up to this golf ball. Just pretend like you’re going to hit it. All right. I’m going to put I’m going to set him into the wall and I’m going to keep his arm straight. Before we hit the ball, we got to do a couple things. So, the ball I just tricked you. I said we were going to hit a ball. We’re not We’re not yet. So, go ahead and imagine the ball is there. Two things. We’re going to set the wall. So, weight forward and then I’m going to get his lead arm straight. So, it set up a little bit more straight arms here. So, elbows together. All right. Now, the first thing since he’s a beginner, we’re just going to build contact. What we need to do, you’re going to keep this side with the weight on it. You’re going to keep this arm straight. I’m just going to just demonstrate here. Keep that arm straight. Keep it there. And there’s a contact point and finish right about here. You see how the club’s going to come into the ground at that spot. I was a little behind it. So, weight stay forward. I’m going to tuck this arm a little bit in. There we go. Does it feel comfortable? Yep. It probably feels so weird. And give him the sensation of what it’s like to have one contact point. Go ahead and do that without me helping you. Just keep this this arm straight, the weight there, and then we’re going to tuck that arm in a little bit. Don’t do anything else. Good. Good. All right, let’s do another one. Now, your goal is to try and get the club to bottom out a spot right there. Focusing on that spot better when you finish. Have that club pointed a little bit more down. Both arm elbows together right there. So, he’s working on arms straight. Never done this before. There it is. Good contact point. Do it again. Better. We’re see almost touching the ground with it now. Right. He wasn’t expecting this today. Throwing that club down, elbows together. Bingo. All right. So, you’re just going to do the same thing you did with those practice swings and let and just same short swing where it’s not doing anything too big yet. So, setting the wall a little bit more weight on the front right there. That’s it. That’s it. Just same thing. Don’t think about the ball. Just same swing. Did you see that? I’ve never done that in my life. You see this right on the center of the face. Never played golf. Zero experience. Hits it right on the middle. How did that feel? Felt pretty good. Yeah. Would you want to do that again? I would. Yeah, you would. I mean, we all That’s why we play. That’s too short. It is too short to play back golf. So, he hit about four grooves up. Two or three grooves right there. Nice collection of the ball in the center of the face. It can happen for you. It can happen for anybody. Just doing these two things.

    That guy has a great natural setup. He'd be golfing in no time if he put in some work

    Do you have any videos on wrist hinge? I can hit a driver straight down the fairway everytime, but EVERYONE hits it further! 😢. All my boys say i don't have any wrist hinge at all, but when i try to add any wrist hinge, my ball goes everywhere, the bottom of my swing is completely unpredictable!

    Hello. Thanks again Mr saguto. You have changed my game tremendously with these tips here. Yes ,everyone is different when it comes to a golf swing. But if you keep these things in mind. Ball striking and shot production will be a lot better ! Thanks again Mr saguto. Doing the work of Christ out here.

    Imagine getting to start your amateur golf career with all this knowledge – the true basics to build a swing base and develop. If I started with this and actually knowing what good contact feels like, shooting par would be imminent!

    Dude is a wizard!! You’ve helped me immensely! I got the idea of having different swings for different clubs out of my head and now I make good contact with all the clubs in my bag!! Thank YOU!!!

    I’m a 3.3hcp and when I lose my swing I still go back to stack and tilt half swings and start hitting pure knockdowns until I am confident enough to swing full again

    Tom, i l9ve your content /teachings / enthusiasm, BUT this is NOT the best way to introduce the golf swing to a new comer.

    No No No!!!.

    NO!!!.

    The best way is wax on, wax off.

    And then, AND only then, do you even think about putting a club in their hands. To do otherwise is blasphemy against the golf teaching gods.

    So what's the wax on, wax off version for beginning golfers??

    It's in several of your past videos.

    My wax on, wax off experience was my Dad.taking me down to the crick behind our house and learning to skip stones across it trying to hit the giant bull frogs sitting down stream. We had fun the entire summer, which by the way our property backed up against the Philadelphia Cricket Club. Anyway, it wasn't until I had mastered stone skipping that he would allow a club to be placed into my hands.

    I was only 6 years old at the time but the summer of 1968 is when I won the Monkey 🐒 Foursome at Whitemarsh Valley Country Club (just down the road from Philly Cricket) which consisted of 4 hole stroke play contested over #1,.#2, and coming back to the clubhouse with #17 and 18. I went 3, 5, 5,.5 and won by 9 shots.

    All thanks to learning how to skip stones down on the Wissahickon.

    Wax On, Wax Off engrained into my Golf DNA trying to hit giant bull frogs on the banks of the Wiassakicken, which by the way is full of nasty nettles, and where Edgar Allen Poe wrote the Pit and The Pendulem, and the Raven.

    Years later the likes of Nicklaus, Palmer, Trevino, Weiskoph, Miller would all come thru Whitemarsh in search of glory at the Philadephia IVB Golf Classic.

    None of them won the Monkey 🐒 Foursome, but they did win big in other ways, like bombing one off #1 tee, the funnest opening hole in the Philly area,.maybe state, country perhaps 🤔

    Wax On, Wax Off

    I thought at first you were staging this like other content creators but after seeing that dude swing in the very beginning it’s obvious to any golfer that he’s never swung a club before. It’s so cool to see someone actually take a guy that’s so raw and show him how his weight needs to be in the right spot and the proper way to make contact. I wish when I first started playing that someone would have taken the time to teach me stuff like that and I wouldn’t have gone through the struggles I went through teaching myself by watching videos and anything about golf I could find 😝. My hats off to you and we need more teachers like you out there for beginners.

  29. @SC-qv7nv

    By far the best teacher out there. I almost gave up. I then came across your channel this year. I shot 7 over today! My best round to date. 90% was down to the tips from your videos! I still can't get over how you've changed the game for me.

    Saguto is low key the greatest golf coach in the world. I modeled my swing after his and even after not hitting a ball all year, I went to the driving range with family and was hitting 220-250 yds with 75% power using someone else's driver – and in play.
