Tom Watson, winner of 8 majors, knows the golf swing inside and out. In this short he briefly explains how to take away the golf club. The first 2 feet are the most important part of the backswing.

Pay attention This is one of the best tips you will ever get especially for someone who can already hit the ball pretty well but if you concentrate on this specific thing it will make you much better
One of the best to ever do it❤❤
And if you had just taken a 9-iron instead of an 8-iron he would have won the British Open at age 60😮😮😮😮
Watson always rocking the crispy polo 🔥
I hate Stuart cink
These tips are already helping me with my back swing as well as keeping my downswing and release straight. Thanks Tom!
Nothing matters except how fast that clubhead is moving, the direction it is moving, and where the face is pointing at impact.
Is that move good for all clubs
One piece takeaway…been doing it for decades….simple…effective
Dear Mr Tom Watson
Is that takeaway not the golf secret? Compared to keeping your shoulders level?
Terrible

Shoulders all the way up…
Arms starts the downs swing, followed by the shoulders.
He cups his wrist. I can't hit it well doing that
You rarely see this instruction, which is so important for new golfers. So thank you, Mr. Watson.
Let's be honest, if Minato faced Madara at that exact period of time Minato would've smoked Madara, Minato was in his prime and Madara was an old man, now if we're talking about prime.minato with all the hacks and Madara with all his hacks, Madara wins because he's OP as the ten tails jinchuriki
Great
Great tip thanks. My iron striking has improved instantly!
Ok, I was taught this about the left hand being in charge. But – when you get to the top of your backswing, do you power down with both hands in control or what? And on short shots, say fifty yards out with half a swing, it gets too complicated to use this method and start switching hands. I think Tom was left handed anyway. Obviously he's an all time great but this method never worked for me. I wish it had.
Why does it say Johnny Miller?
Crazy how contradictory golf instruction is. More so than literally any other sport
take club back with the left shoulder not the hands and arms.
I am constantly amazed at how their pants all look the same!
I think this is the most important thing to remember in a golf swing ! Add it to the other most important things in a golf swing and you’ll have the perfect golf swing
Thx tw
This is BS… Can certainly be done in different ways…
"Club gets heavy"… right :-/
Of all the pros, this is the swing I want.
Golf is loco. "It's called swinging the club back." Uh-huh. A perfectionist nightmare.
I can take lessons from Tom all day long man 💪🏾⛳🔥
What does this guy know
You can use trail hand and be just as effective
Lee Trevino gave me, thru YouTube, advice which improved my drives by 100%.
Make sure your hand is over your forward knee on impact.
Watson won 8 majors !!! Great player..might be in the top 12 of all time.
Early in his career he had a great pivot. Great footwork.
Bikini wax
Had McCord thrown off Masters broadcast…get off my YouTube Tom
What about for left handed golf players?
