The winners of golf tournaments on opposite sides of the world taught us a very important lesson in golf. If you’re worried about what your game looks like, whether that’s a swing thing or a technique thing or a new equipment, don’t. No one cares what it looks like. The only thing that matters are your scores. And this week was the perfect example. So on the PGA Tour, Adam Shank won his first PGA Tour event in Bermuda, putting onehanded a lot of the time, hitting basically purposeful ground balls to keep the ball under the wind. He won with a driver that’s 8 years old, with irons that are eight years old, with a putter that’s 20some years old, with a golf ball from 2017. And in Dubai, Matt Fitzpatrick won the DP World Tour Championship chipping cross-handed as he has been doing for the last couple of years. If you guys saw someone at your course putting one-handed on the putting green or cross-handed, you would think that they stink, that they’re terrible, but they’re not terrible. They’re really good. They just won tournaments. It’s one of the great parts of our sport. Your scores are your scores. There are no style points. There is no subjectivity. It’s just what did you shoot? Cuz you know what’s cooler than a perfectly technical sling that hits all the positions and shiny new clubs?

Most people problems isnt the way their swing looks. It’s that they can’t hit a straight ball no matter how they swing the club.
How tf do you still have a golf ball from 2017. My don’t last a day.
Nice one, Dan. Preach!
Would love to see someone winning with a second hand ball
Do whatever works for you
It used to be you could know what tour pro you were looking at from a distance as soon as you saw the swing. Now days there are too many cookie-cutter swings. Those with their own peculiar swings tend to hold up under pressure better because they don't have to fight any swing peculiarities they tend to have because they always swing that way.
