Speaker 2: Enjoy golf Smarter number two hundred and ninety one on
July twenty six, twenty eleven, One Simple Move Better Golf
Forever with Tony Manzoni.
Speaker 3: This is golf Smarter sharing tips and insights from golfers
and golf professionals to help lower your score.
Speaker 1: It's worked for your host, Fred Green.
Speaker 4: Welcome back to the Golf Smarter podcast.
Speaker 3: Tony, Hey, Fred, how are you.
Speaker 2: I am so glad to hear your voice once again.
We had such a great time when we came down
to Palm Desert and spent that morning with you.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: My buddy Neil and I came down to Palm Desert
and played some golf. But before we even started our golf,
we got a chance about an hour hour and a
half to give Neil a lesson Anil had never had.
He's been playing golf most of his life, he's never
had a lesson. This is the first time that he'd
ever had a lesson, and I was able to capture
it on video with two different cameras running at the
same time. So I'm very excited to announced that not
only is this podcast now available, but a video of
Neil's lesson given by Tony Manzoni, the very first lesson
on video by Tony Manzoni, has been posted to YouTube
and the Golf Smarter TV channel.
Speaker 4: I'm so excited. Thank you.
Speaker 3: That was great fun, I'll tell you that, And Neil responded,
I wish I could get everyone to do it that quickly.
Was It really was terrific.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it was funny because all during the round
of golf that we had that day in thirty five
mile an hour wins, he was like, you know, he
was so focused on what he had learned from you
that morning, and even after a round it that he
didn't say he said, just don't write down my score.
I don't want to know about score. I said, good
for you because you're working on something. And then after
the round of golf we went back to the driving
range and he worked even harder on it. And one
more thing, he had never gone to the driving range
after a round of golf. Is there a lot of
value golf for players because we always see the guys
on the tour they go to the driving range after
a round of golf.
Speaker 4: Is that a good thing for us to do? Oh?
Speaker 3: Sure, because you know, you have a real clear memory
of what's just transpired on the golf course and some
of the things that didn't worked out, and that's where
you work a lot. I mean, Ben Hogan was one
of the first props to do that. When he gets
through on the golf and shout an incredible score in
most cases as fills out there practicing because he had
a two iron that he didn't like or so forth.
So it's very beneficial for people to do that at
any level.
Speaker 4: Fabulous. Well, let's talk about congratulations.
Speaker 2: Your book is now available and we have it on
our website at golfsmarter dot com and our golfers Mart.
We're going to feature it in the golfers martin it's
going to be highly visible. It's called The Loss Fundamental,
One simple move, Better Golf Forever, and that really is
your theory, huh. It's if you understand the move, you
can adjust it yourself and it's going to change your game.
Speaker 3: Well, it's very simple. And when you purchase the book,
and I hope you will for a number of reasons,
I think you'll be amazed at the brevity of the book.
And I did that intentionally. I've only had one negative
comment of all the people I've sent this book to
that I've sent you a lot. One fellow that thought
it was more of a pamphlet, and it really isn't.
But when I was writing the book, it was becoming
a great American novel and Paul Servante's who is very
helpful in the writing of this book helped me reduce
my thoughts to make them simple. And I can tell
you that I've had more people write me and say
thank you for making this thing so simple, because most
golf books you start following this leap because they get
it to such a detail. And I really believe that
if you do certain things in the golf swing, there's
a domino effect that happens, and we don't have to
deal with those pieces. The cause of effect is everything.
So if I can set you up to the golf
ball properly and you have finished in a position relative
to the ball properly, a lot of things are going
to occur. And that's what I find is happening.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 2: And it's not just that the book is brief, but
the descriptions are fairly brief. I mean you can go
through two pages and get two or three descriptions of
what you're trying to explain, which again I think is
incredibly helpful.
Speaker 3: Well, that was my intention is to say it, say
it again, and then say it again, because really there's
just a few core moves that you have to learn,
and gosh, it's like America and you could see what
happened with Neil. I mean, he had some tremendous shots
and those sites then with great trajectory after just a
few minutes of do this, do that, and he got
right into it.
Speaker 2: Well he did, and when he made a shot when
we were playing together, he knew what he did right
and what he did wrong after each shot. It was
really fascinating because I've seen people who had taken lessons
and were working on so many things at once, but
it just seems so simple to him, so clear that
with every shot that he took, he got it and
he knew.
Speaker 3: Yeah, as I told him, you can either be a
disconnector and rotate the arms, or you can be connected
and rotate the body. And and and actually when you
pull the arms down in the downswing and detach them
from the body, that's when thin fat shots occur because
it holds you behind the ball. So you can you
can play the game of golf and not blame your
swing so much as just one action that you that
you're that you're doing that you need to not do,
and that would be the stay connected and not drop
the arm. Uh. You know, we all played golf. For
those of us that have played golf a long time.
We were taught to do that, pull the arm down,
pull down on the ball, hit down on the ball,
all those phrases, and what it does is it just
gets one part working, that's arms and hands, where the
body just stalls out. So we're losing all the power
of the core. And I wish I had just discovered
this a little bit earlier in my life than now.
But it's improved my game dramatically. I'm hitting the most
so much farther than I have in say, thirty years,
and I find that with all.
Speaker 2: My students, that's really unbelievable that you're getting more distance.
Neil definitely was getting more distance, although I don't know why.
But I was still out driving him that day and
he goes, well, how come you're outdriving me? I said,
because I'm older than you. It's like, wait a minute,
that's so let's go over this. Also, let me just
say the other part about the book that I found
so much fun.
Speaker 4: First of all, there's photographs.
Speaker 2: So you have a really clear description of exactly what
you're talking about. But then at the end you have
stories of people that you've come across and people you've
met and dedicated the book to so really the book
flies right by. It's really really helpful, and that's one
of the things that I think that people should be
checking this book out.
Speaker 4: It's it's a worthwhile.
Speaker 2: It's not an investment, but it's definitely worth coming to
golf Smarter dot com and checking out The Lost Fundamental
by Tony Manzoni.
Speaker 4: It's a really helpful book.
Speaker 2: And there have been a lot of a lot of
Golf Smarter listeners who have been in touch with you,
haven't they?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I've had a tremendous amount that I that I
talked with via email or that have come down physically
and taken a golf lesson from me. We had a
we had a golf school called the Single Pivot Golf School,
and we did five schools and they were really really
well received. But I continually get male for folks that
have heard about the golf Golf Smarter, I had no
idea that you had such a such an audience. It's incredible.
Speaker 2: Well, it's an active group and they're passionate about their golf,
and that's why I think that they reached out to you,
because you you're pretty clear on what you're taught talking
about and it's not too convoluted. There's not a lot
going on at once, I hope.
Speaker 3: So because that's, you know, that's my intention, I was
like a lot of instructors for years, just kind of
pontificating all this golf dogma, and you know, you can
see the people's eyes just glaze over, and no one
was going to say. No one was going to tell you, gee,
I don't know what you mean. They're just going to
let it go over their head and then you'll never
see them again. So I realized early on in my
golf teaching that there had to be a better way
than this. And then, luckily for me, I started looking
at Ben Hogan and reading everything I could about the man,
and that's how I formed this method because it really
is borne out of that period of time.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you it's interesting because when I'm when I'm
directing a video shoot, or when I'm doing the shoot,
when I'm the camera person, or i have multiple cameras going,
anything like that, and that's that's pretty much what my
career has been, is a recorded engineer, both video and audio.
It's very hard for me to concentrate on the content
while I'm doing it, so when I'm recording somebody else,
I'll miss a lot of what the conversation is because
I'm watching the dials and knobs and everything to make
sure that the production value is right. I can't believe
that I, as far as I know, I only took
away from Nil's lesson. I took away two major points
that when we played golf that weekend.
Speaker 4: We played two rounds after.
Speaker 2: That on one day right after the next. How much
straighter the ball was the ballflight was For me, I
generally have a slight fade to the ball. I was
hitting the ball much straighter because of two things that
I picked up from the lesson. One is on my backswing.
As much as I try to keep my lower body quiet,
I still have a tendency to have my left knee
bend in, pointing across my body. But what I got
from you was keeping the left knee pointed straight, straight ahead.
Speaker 3: And that's correct, that's correct.
Speaker 4: That was huge for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it stabilized the stance and it allows you not
to put weight on the right side, which where we
really don't want to do. We want to stay on
the front side weight wise. In fact, when we set
to the ball, we brace left and then as we
coil the body, display displace the weight backwards via the
right show right hip. We actually put more weight against
the brace and steep in the brace of the right leg,
and that makes the right leg really light. All you
have to do from that point there, because you're at
impact already. From there, you just rotate your upper body.
The legs stay because they're underneath you, they stay right
with you. And it's just so much simpler to get
to the left side totally to the left side where
your chest is really left with the target. When you're
moving side to side. It's really hard to get to
that point for anybody.
Speaker 4: Really unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Now you talked about Hogan shooting into the fifties, you
actually have shot in You were telling me this one story.
I'm still trying to get the full grasp of this.
What's your lowest?
Speaker 3: Round sixty one? And it was on a funny day
because the day before the club announced to me that
they wanted to put some kind of a biography of
myself and my past in the paper, and they were
hiring me as they head professional. This is going to
be my first job as a head professional. I had
a big party the night before and a lot of
paths on the back and the next morning the manager
told me, well, wait a minute, now, we spoke a
little too soon. We have to talk to one more applicant.
And as it turned out, they chose the applicant.
Speaker 4: Why did he shoot a sixty?
Speaker 3: No, he just had more experience. But not only didn't
I get the job, but they announced to me that
he was bringing his own staff, and so I was
going to be out of a job in thirty days.
So a couple of them, yeah, I know, it's really
I can remember it. A couple of members says, come on,
bro let's go out. Let's go play. So we played
the golf course and it was kind of a blur
to me. And when I put it out on the
last hole, he said, you know, you just broke then
Cherry's record he shot sixty one. Well, first of all,
we mentioned in the same you know category with Kenney
and Urry. You know, I should have been fallen to
my knees and thank god, but just like all golfers,
the first thing that's eaked out of my pea brain
was gee, and I didn't burn you a par five,
which I hadn't.
Speaker 4: But you know that was my xt question. You really were?
Speaker 3: I were satisfied.
Speaker 4: Is that really true that you were? You like that?
Speaker 2: Oh there was one hole I should have had. I
should have would have could have?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we all we all do that. I say that
to my golf team all the time. You know, no
matter what we do out there, we always we always
come back with I could have done this. You know,
sometimes we're not really thankful for the blessings we get
one of the cups of call?
Speaker 4: Did you really not realize how you were shooting during
the round?
Speaker 3: I had no idea. In fact, to this day, I
have very little memory of it. I was in such
a funk about not only in getting losing my job
and everything, but the night before, you know, I had
all these close friends patting me on the back, tell
me a great job and all these things. Now I
had to go back and tell them, hey, I'm not
working at Alimdade anymore. You know, this is going to
be the shortest job career of all time. So you
know it really, I mean, now I look back at
it and I laugh about it, But then it was
it was pretty serious stuff.
Speaker 4: Wait, now I got to get the timeframe correct.
Speaker 2: Here you had the big party and the next day
you went out and shot at sixty one.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, the next day, I you know, the next day,
I couldn't wait to get to the course. I had
all these ideas I was going to do. You know,
we just had a shell of the previous protest everything
that I mean almost took the paint off the walls.
But I had an idea all the things I was
going to do. And then I was put on hold
until the afternoon. They said, don't worry, We've got one
more African. No big deal. And of course when the
manager came in about one o'clock in the afternoon, his
face was white because I knew and he couldn't even
look at me. And when he announced to me that
not only didn't I have jobs.
Speaker 2: So the celebration was not about shooting sixty one. The
celebration was because you had you had gotten your first
head pro job.
Speaker 3: That's correct, that's correct, And you went out and.
Speaker 2: Tried to sixty one after all that celebrating, and it
was a competitive round, No.
Speaker 3: It was just around A couple of members just felt
so bad for me. Okay, they says, come on, pro
Let's go out and play because they heard they heard
what had happened. You know, a lot of people at
the club had said, great job, We're really happy to
have you as our new probe. But the management company,
which all in the golf course, had made the decision
to hire this fellow that had more experience. And I
understood that, but it's still it was like a kick
on the growing I can tell you that. So when
I went out to play, and that was on my mind, Uh,
what am I going to say? Holly, what am I going?
Where am I going to get a job? All these things.
So I was kind of playing from my subconscious, which
is what we really need to do obviously, And as
a turnout, I shot a great score and I think
that I'm pretty sure that record is still in place at.
Speaker 4: The Almaden Almaden Country Club. Is that what it is?
Speaker 2: So you you don't remember the round?
Speaker 4: I mean, you can't tell me. Do you know how
many pars that you had in that round?
Speaker 3: Or I wouldn't. I all I know is I was
aware that I had not birdie the par five. That's
the only thing I was aware about. But you know,
I mean, obviously made.
Speaker 4: A lot of birdies obvious.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't believe I made any bogies. I think
I hold out from the fairway ones for two of
part four.
Speaker 4: One eagle you think you had one eagle, right, yeah?
Speaker 3: And the rest of it, Yeah, the rest of it
was birdie's I think. And and really I loved it
be able to say, well, I had ten berdies, but
I don't remember it because it was It wasn't in
my mind or in my heart. While I was doing this,
I was just thinking of how embarrassed I felt and
how I was going to tell all my friends. Well,
I spoke too soon, and I really hadn't spoke too soon.
I was told, you got the job, okay, but you know,
it was just an awkward position to be in. And
then of course, now I'm out of a job in
thirty days. I'm a young guy, and he said, be
able to go out and have fun time and play
golf and do that. And now I'm panicking to you,
I don't have a job. So it was just a
strange set of circumstances that created this marvels round of golf.
I can't say that I was practicing really hard before
an event, and I went and did this. Although I
played all this, you know, as an assistant pro, I
played almost all the time, so and that was my
home course. But sixty one and sixty one I don't
care if you're playing minis your golf.
Speaker 2: So there's got to be a lesson in there somehow
somewhere about not paying attention to your score.
Speaker 3: Oh, there's no two ways about it. I mean, I'm
sure the listening audience will be nodding their head. We
sometimes you don't feel real good, or maybe you've been
all a little late and had a few too many cocktails,
and the next day you go out and shoot a
great round. And I think it's because we're not so
conscious of what we're doing or trying to do anything.
We're just going ahead and swinging and getting it out
of the way of ourselves. And I think the touring
pros have a way to do that, where they let
the subconscious take over. Anytime you do anything consciously, I
think you get a little bit awkward. And so when
we're learning how to play golf, we've got to do
the learning of it on the driving range, and then
we've got to trust the fact that we know what
we're doing. And go out of the golf course and
just get target oriented and let it go. And that's
easier said than done. A question of course. You know.
Speaker 2: I have a friend John Leland who writes a blog
called Joy of Golfing a Joy of Golfing dot com.
Not breaking eighty with joy and learning. He's he's never
had the ability, He's never broken eighty in any of
his rounds, and just recently he had the round the
front nine of his life, and he got he took
a peek at a scorecard and started figuring out what
he needed to do just to say consistent with this
and how he could do it, you know, because I
think he shot a thirty eight or thirty nine on
the front so he's like, this is it, this is
the round I'm going to do it. And of course
he shot in eighty three, which is probably one of
his better rounds ever. But still once he started figuring
out what he needed to get, the pressure was on
and just no way it's going to happen.
Speaker 3: Sure, well, you know there's something so much written by
someone in the psychologist These people that feel they have to,
you know, be happy when you know there was one
briller I can't recall his name, but this is a
Guruz told him to have a smile on his face
no matter what happened. Well, near the end of the
round he looked like a lunatic. I mean, this big
grin that didn't relate to anything. And he did play
pretty well. But then the next week when he tried it, it
didn't work at all. And you know, those kinds of
cliched things never work. It's not that and it's not
that kind of a button because again, that's a conscious
thought to do something. It's just a feeling. It's like putting,
you know. I tell my students, if you don't feel
like you're going to make the putt, you can have
the pier stroke of the world that's not going in.
And if you feel like you're going to make the putt,
you're not so consumed, well take it back straight or
do this or do that. You just roll the ball
like you did when you were a kid and didn't
understand put the putting. You just had a stick and
a ball and you hit the ball. There's a lot
to that, but it's so hard. Once you get some information,
it's so hard to digest it and not keep regurgitating
it mentally, and that's what we all do. And that's
kind of why I like what I by the method
I've gone because it's pretty simple stuff. It's not a
lot of the how to do things and and that's
I think that's the hard part about this game, is
letting go and trusting.
Speaker 2: So the last couple of minutes we have available, and
actually there's more than a couple of minutes, but I
wanted I want to really dig into into your your
theory and lost fundamental here and why it works versus
what all the other instructors are pounding on us on
TV and in print and our videos and everything else.
You seem to think that this is the kind of
fundamental that once you understand it, you can correct yourself
and you don't need to work with a pro all
the time.
Speaker 3: In a simplest form, we're playing off of one axis
and we're connecting the arms to the body and rotating
around that axis. That's primarily what we're doing, instead of
shifting their way to the right leg and then back
to the left leg, which is you know has been
preached in the last few years, but many many years ago,
it wasn't preached because if you look at Jack Nicholas,
if you look at Arnold Palmer, if you look at
Ben Holden, those are all great players, and they did
not move to the right. They ain't thought they were,
but they were all rotating. They're all in that barrel. Okay.
So if we eliminate that compensational move that we have
to make from the right side back to the left, okay.
And if we brace up against impact and merely coil
from that point, if the left arm stay is connected
to the body and we uncoil, the club's got to
come back to the starting position time and time and
time again, opposed to throwing the club off of your
body with your arms. And because the head of the
club is here than the handle the club that is
going to rotate. So the club is going to be
either open or closed most of the time. And therein
lies the big problem. So you take that, and then
that transitional move of shifting the from almost all on
the right side to almost all the left side, my gosh,
you know, that's just too much to do in a middlesecond.
And that's why most people they look. If we have
a driving range at the college and you watch most
people they're on the right side where they hit the ball.
They're just hanging back as most people do, and someone
will say, we'll shift your weight. Well, that's the problem.
They shifted their way to the right side, and that
is why they can't get off. You know, unless you
Neuia or somebody like that, a young guy that has
total control of their body, you're going to be hanging back,
and so you never hit it with your core. You
never get the power that's within you. That's the thing
that happens immediately when I start teaching people. They hit
the ball higher and farther and with no side spin,
and they look at me like, why hasn't someone told
me this. We'll spit out there for a long time.
It just hasn't been articulated in a simple form.
Speaker 2: I also found myself after Nil's lesson that I was
in a much more ballance position at finish then, especially
with my driver, because usually, for some reason.
Speaker 4: Why would we do this? When I have my driver
in my hand, I swing harder, not faster.
Speaker 2: I swing harder, and after the swing, I am off
balance and falling away.
Speaker 3: From the when the arms go first. When the arms
go first, the body goes back that's why in one era,
you know, your head moved away from the target on
the dollar swing and you ended up in the seat position.
But with the rotary swing, everything's moving through the ball.
Anakasar And said it was one of the greatest ball
strikers I think of all time. Everyone says she looked
like she was looking at the target when she hit
the ball. That's exactly what she was rotating towards the target.
So she wasn't working underneath, she was working the level
through the ball. And you get tremendous power this way,
and on top of it, you get accuracy because the
left arms out rotating, it's pressed against the chest, the
chest turns open the club head hits the ball. You know,
the feeling is a lot like how a hockey player
hits the puck with a stick. It's that same rotational motion,
and that's why hockey players, most of them, are pretty
good golfers.
Speaker 2: The other thing that that Neil was very impressed with, well,
I think it was almost an epiphany is the point
that you were making to him about the fact that
hitting the ball, making contact with the ball is not
the end of the swing.
Speaker 3: No, absolutely, that's the middle of the swing. The ball
is a point of reference to align the club too,
but it cannot be a target. If you're focusing on
the back of the ball, hitting the back of the ball,
all you're going to decelerate the club. We all accelerate
to some form, everyone does, the best player in the world.
But you're going to really decelerate. You're going to shift
the thing down and your body's going to stop. What
we want to do is we want to rotate past
the doll ball. And the last thing that hits that
doll ball is that club hit. So you're moving through
it as you hit it. Now you hitting it with
your core, and you're going to get You get totally
on the left side, you know, And like concept, you're
sixty forty to start, seventy thirty at the top, but
you still got to get to nine plus. You still
got to get against that left side prior to hitting
the golf ball, not after hitting the golf ball, prior
toting it. So by getting closer to that number, that
ninety number by because you're in the seventies, you get
against that left side and through it quicker. The center
of gravity of the body of every human being is
a couple of inches below the navel. The closer that
center of gravity is to the pivot leg, which is
the left leg, the faster you pivot. That's just that's science.
That's not me. Okay. So Ben Holgan is great players,
whether they felt it or what, but they knew when
they were against that left side earlier they could hit
the ball quicker, faster and straighter. And that's what this
is about. It's just it's almost bath and it's simplicity.
It helps people that aren't don't have great byhand coordination
hit this golf ball and put some compression against it.
And that's what that's what that's what this is all about.
Speaker 4: You can also hear it.
Speaker 2: Once you've made contact with the ball and you've hit
it properly, you can definitely hit the.
Speaker 3: Ball div it. You know you're not hitting divot ball
when you put the club behind the ball. Is I
said to you and Nail, if I were to bring
the club right straight back to this in motion, I
would hit the divot and then I hit the ball.
So we've got to be we've got to move a
little forward so that we can hit the ball the
dolls and then the divot. So there is a forwardness
in the motion on the dolls. You said, if you
stayed behind the ball like we've all been told, and
then hit behind the ball, because that's that's where the
bottom of the swing is. So you've got to move
that bottom a little forward.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: No matter if you shift to the right or the left,
you got to end up against the left when you
hit it. So this I think a lot a lot
of the great left side players realize that if I stayed,
if they stayed against the left and coiled their body
and then uncoil it, they can make contact more consistently.
And I think that's what I see and what I
hear when I'm giving the lesson. I could hear ball dud.
Speaker 2: And also I need to get this clarified because it
was a point that you're making when you were speaking
with Neil about having your for a right handed golfer,
your right shoulder pointing down the line towards your target
when you're finished with your swing. And yet I've heard
so many people talking about having your belt buckle pointing
at the target.
Speaker 3: Well, look, we're un aligned in our core through impact,
and you could watch anybody into it, especially the ladies
because they're more flexible than the men. But everybody's chest
is left of the tarnet, and you want to turn
as far left of the tarnet with your chest. As
long as your left firm is connected, it'll be coming
behind that movement. You want to turn as far left
as you can so I can the Bactually, when you
coil one way, you get your back to the tarnet.
When we go through the ball, we want to get
our chest left of the target with the right shoulder
pointing at the turret. And it doesn't hurt the back
to do this, because that's how we're built. It's when
you drop those shoulders down, okay, and you and the
left shoulder goes up and the right shoulder goes down
differently at address. Now you're going to be tweaking your back.
I don't believe in tilting the shoulders at all, and
the and the Dolson because I think get rich you're back.
And not only that, but the width of your swing
gets narrower and the wider the path the farther they hit.
So when we're rotating a little bit more level, then
the arms foul the body around and you end up
around the body instead of in front of the body.
You know, when I first learned to play golf, we
finished real high with the hands. Not anymore, and you
don't see anybody finishing high with the hands or most
of not very many if they do at all.
Speaker 2: And we should also, you know, establish some credibility here
beyond your sixty one and all the work that you've done.
You're the coach of the College of the Desert golf team.
And you were telling me about the dynasty that you
have with that program.
Speaker 4: What is it? The program has won the regionals? How
many years in.
Speaker 3: Rowow twenty three years straight? And keep it And remember
this is a two year school, so we've got a
new golf team every two years. So we're doing something
pretty good now.
Speaker 4: And you've been with the program for eighteen years.
Speaker 3: I've been teaching the golf team for eighteen years, been
with the college twenty five. So for my eighteen years,
I won three state championships, eighteen conference championships, and numerous
regional championships. And it's not just me, obviously, you know,
it's we have great weather here and great golf courses.
I get some good players, but I think that I'm
good at mentoring. I'm good at making them feels comfortable
with themselves on the golf course.
