Summary
GS#'s 438 & 439: May 28, 2014 Tony Manzoni, one of the most sought after coaches on the GolfSmarter podcast shares his life long pursuit of Ben Hogan’s secret to his golf swing. Years ago Tony received a letter written in Hogan’s hand that explains his secret to becoming a great ball striker. This is the complete hour-long conversation that also covers a detailed discussion on the short game swing and how it differs from the full swing that is discussed in The Lost Fundamental. He also responds to letters asking how the full Lost Fundamental swing is affected by the short game swing.Tony’s book "The Lost Fundamental: One Simple Move, Better Golf Forever", is available on Amazon in paperback or Kindle format. His video, originally a DVD, is only available through our website. This is combined two episodes in one as it was difficult to schedule podcasts in advance “in the old days”!
