- This is one of the best golf swing tips for consistency and power - taught to us by ball striking legend, Ben Hogan. Through this very simple golf swing tip, you will hit more fairways, pure your irons, and hit the ball farther than ever before.
Ben Hogan gave us this awesome golf tip in his book - Ben Hogan's 5 Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf. He talks about the importance of the position of the arms and elbows in the setup. Most golfers know to KEEP THE ARMS STRAIGHT, but did you know that the position of your elbows is equally as critical?
If your elbows are not in the proper position, your golf swing will demonstrate the following issues:
1. Golf Swing OFF-PLANE
2. BREAKDOWN of the Arms during the golf swing
3. INCONSISTENT Contact with the golf ball
4. POWER LOSS in the golf swing
5. ACCURACY PROBLEMS with your golf shots
and more......
This golf swing tip is so simple and important that it affects your entire swing - get set like this tip and you'll eliminate swing issues and compensations that cause your swing to fail.

Whether you are a seasoned golfing veteran looking for a quick swing tune-up after an on-course emergency, or a beginner just looking to get the most out of your golfing experience, I am here to help you achieve your golfing goals.
My mission as your swing doctor is simple, to help you maximize your enjoyment in game of golf. Because, let’s face it, golf is a hard game.
My philosophy is wholly based on the student having a fun, meaningful experience in a frustrating and complicated game where potential lifelong golfers either quit because it is too difficult or that they experience some form of swing-related pain or discomfort. I mitigate these problems by focusing entirely on the student’s needs and goals while teaching a golf swing method that ultimately takes stress off of the common pain areas of the swing.

Do we lose the hogan arms when swinging or dont even think about it?
Thanks
puppy gets bigger than kitty
I think Hogan arms is one of the best tips I have ever heard. Thanks Tom.
I do like the introduction, never noticed the left leg being so important, like the way Tom introduce us to a new swing.
This single tip, originally from some one else made a dramatic impact on my swing, best single swing tip ever.
This is a find I needed.
Since I have started playing regularly again. I have been doing the "Hogan Arms" thing not knowing if it was correct or not. Sometimes I did it and sometimes I didn't. It just seemed that if I incorporated it with everything it just worked. But now having confirmation by Tom will only make me more confident in becoming a better golfer.
I am only 3 weeks in with this Saguto guy and I am hitting the ball better and more consistently than ever. Long, straight high flying birds.
Stack, tilt, turn and take that divot. Did I say take that divot?
This Hogan arm thing makes me feel good that I had actually figured something out myself and with Saguto's confirmation it only emboldens me to get better. It's empowering when you get the strength that comes from knowing.
At 65 years old I have some really bad habits and it is difficult to change. Especially your golf swing.
You take yourself for granted that you have reached your peak when it comes to golf and you are content to be mediocre and hit in the '90s (high '90s).
But I'm a good guy who is willing to buy the drinks so I get invited to play. I think if I get into the 80' 0r the 70's I will get invited to play more and someone else will have to buy.
I have tried to do everything Tom teaches. I may not be doing it all right but it has changed my game forever.
Yes, he is a little,........different. but spot on the money.
Big fan of your humor while teaching, it's underrated too from what I can tell
Implemented yesterday and immediately cured my poor/inconsistent contact. THANKS!!!!!!!!
Fabulous!! My lesson series on this "trail arm magic" has helped countless golfers across the globe to overcome wide variety of issues and experience great ball striking. I'm very glad to know that this concept is performing well for you, too. Excellent job incorporating it into your swing!
Thanks for sharing your success with it and keep up the great work!! 💪💪

This is a game changer for me. I was struggling this year with my irons - and thanks to this, I don’t even think about mishits - it just works perfectly for me👍 Thanks a lot!!
"Let your elbows see the sun" was in my 1st six pack of lessons, 30 years ago and sometimes in this game you get away from great advice. Went back to that form today, crisp.
I’m a new comer to Saguto and what a big difference you’ve made to my game in a very short time. Can wait to see your video... thx for keeping it real.
OK, Mr. Saguto....I have been watching your videos for a couple weeks now and have been entertained by your style but was reluctant to hit yet another subscription. This video is exactly what I needed to see! The simplicity in your instruction is what us weekend golfers need to hear. Good Stuff! You have a new subscriber!
Here again Tom. Awaiting the next instalment with joy! ⛳️🏌️♂️
Your explanation of the golf swing is simplistically genius. Thanks for doing these videos. Every other instructor I have been to, tries to over teach the golf swing, perhaps to justify the exorbitant fees they charge.
I truly appreciate your kind words, Steve, and I am very glad the instruction content on my channel has benefited you!!
Thanks!
Tom
I have been watching you for a while now but this video helped me shoot my best score today I have a 28 handicap and today I shot 79 on a par 71 course.
THANK YOU!!!
Straight lies but ok
Love these lessons. I’m pushing 70 and I’m having the time of my golfing life. Straight and 250 yards. Where were you when I was 30? Can’t believe this is so easy to pickup and improve. Keep the lessons coming.
Awesome to hear your still golfing and that's why I love golf I'm 25 and I wanna continue golfing into my 70 also
He wasn’t born yet...
That’s fantastic to hear.Im 52 and hitting close to 300 yards now,thanks to Tom and I can only play once a week and practice once a week due to work commitments,wish I knew about this 30 years ago,we have all been taught wrong for years
@@lukemalone9023 - Luke as you advance into your 70s you can be a blessing to many as a mentor in the wonderful "game of life'. Gods best to you.
Fair play mr wolf topman
Great video, Tom! I've read Hogan's 5 Fundamentals many times, but I've forgotten about "rolling" my elbows inward at address to help stay connected throughout the swing. Really helps your ball striking! Thanks!
Did the Hogan arms on my round today and hit some of the best drives of the season. My hybrid and irons are all coming together. Keep up the great content. PS no sore back either anymore!
Thanks for the tip, been golfing 40 years and never have I heard this tip. Can't wait to try it out.
Golf is not a verb. We don't go baseballing
Tom, I’ve been following u for about 2 months now and Learned the stack and tilt method along with your teaching style really got me excited about it. Here I am 2 months later and my shot is so much better and I haven’t mastered it but it’s come a long way and my score is already improving every time out. I have a similar set up to u at my house and just went and tried this and it’s like the icing on the cake for me! So consistent. Thanks Tom you’re the man.
Tom, one of the best tips ever. I've been following you for a couple of months and changing to weight forward stack and tilt along with inside backswing as improved my ball striking tremendously . This Elbows Tip take my swing to the next level. I had seen the tip in Hogan's book but didn't fully understood it until I saw you actually explain it and hit balls with it. Thanks Paul
This is changing my game. You have hands down the best golf instruction videos I have ever come across. Thank you.
I truly appreciate your kind words, James, and I am very glad to learn of your improvement!!
Thanks very much for your support and for sharing your success, and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Tom, I found your videos at the start of the COVID lockdown (UK) when all I could do was practice the swing in the garden. Now we’ve been playing again I have been pretty much hitting handicap or better every round and no back ache. Yesterday my game took a dip with more hooks than I’d ever had and I didn’t know why until I watched this. I’d let right elbow go behind (slot machine). I was in despair for a while until I watched this video and it identified the issue for me. Thanks Tom.
Great Tom! Must give you some credit for your online class. I am usually STRUGGLING to break 100. I’ve spent the last week practicing the movements that you teach at home (without clubs). Played yesterday and got a 94. Now I am aiming to break 90. What I specifically love is your ability to really simplify the golf swing.
I read about this at least 40 years ago in Ben Hogan's "Fundamentals of Golf". Probably the greatest book ever written on the golf swing. You have explained it in a way that is much more understandable and useful. The book might be a good source of material for future videos. I love how you have dramatically improved my golf game. This is a great addition to your other tips.
I discovered the Hogan arms by accident in my garage whilst playing around with my inconsistent iron swing.. I thought "man.. wait until people hear about this new technique I invented" hahaha... I was hitting it so well I thought I'd research it a bit and whaddayaknow.. I discover this.. :) Can't wait to try it on the course this weekend.. I've never been told this in any of my lessons.. I guess the Pro wants me to keep coming back! :)
LOL!! Sorry the burst the bubble on your garage discovery, Luke, but I must say that you did a great job figuring this out on your own!!
And yes - unfortunately, such sorcery from this dark underworld of golf instruction rarely finds its way to the mainstream because if too many folks found out about it the mainstream would then be rendered irrelevant.......😎
Keep up the great work and have fun out there!!
Tom
PS: By the way, here's a link to my FREE mini-course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” in case you’re interested in learning some key aspects of the swing system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/
The best golf lesson in the history of CZcams. I tried this today and my irons went straighter and farther. I can't wait to golf again tomorrow.
Me too Roy. Amazing how many years I had to work so hard to shoot low scores.
Hi Tom ,Thanks for the Hogan tip, Iv'e never heard of it before your lesson today.
I have just come back from the driving range as I have been really struggling with my irons .
I used the Hogan elbows and was amazed at the immediate improvement ,straighter and longer.
So pleased I looking forward to playing tomorrow.
Does the same technique apply to the driver.?I only had irons with me.
Many Thanks
Used this technique today and played brilliant. My hcp is 14. So easy to hit every club straight. I have been a fan of Ben Hogan for a long time and follow his 5 fundamentals, but never understood how to point the elbows until I saw your video. Many thanks
Thomas, thanks to you and your brilliance; I’ve broken 80, the last 3 times I’ve played in competition! My handicap is coming down! Currently, I’m off 12.
Hey Tom, I am 66 years old and have not picked up a club in years but decided to get back into it. I was getting very disappointed with my swing and not being consistent at all. Watched your video and hit the driving range, OMG what a difference, I am hitting the ball longer and straighter than ever before. Thanks for the video, now I want to be on the course or the range every day.
That's Fabulous, Curtis!! I'm glad you're deriving some benefit from my channel's content, but more importantly I'm thrilled to know that you are getting back into the game!!
Thanks very much for sharing and keep up the great work!!
Tom
Tom, this video has been a game changer for me. Your ability to simplify a complex setup change is much appreciated! I have watched this video hundreds of times. Rep it until it’s yours. Hogan arms! Thanks again Tom!!
Fantastic!! I'm glad to know that the Hogan Arms lesson resonated well with you, Marshall!!
Tom
Best tip yet every strike feels so good it's like a Hogasim
A HOGASIM LMAO but I know exactly what you mean. Without Hogan arms its like playing with a limp noodle lol
Great tip Tom I read 5 lessons years ago and you reminded me how important where your elbows point to is. My elbows tuck out without me knowing it and my ballstriking suffers, thanks Tom. New sub here!
Lol, I just love these video’s. There really isn’t any other CZcams channel I can get excited about, except this one. Always looking forward on what next video tip will bring. Tom has this odd style, but somehow I really like it. It’s like he talks directly at you. On top of that, this stack and tilt way has completely changed my game, since the courses re-opened here in Europe I shot over 30 stableford every time and on a European Tour course in the Netherlands even 39 stableford. And I am pretty sure I am still missing to do some key points in this swing methodology. Just the basic fundamental on weight forward has been huge already. Anyone has a tip on how to remember all the key check points, i.e. a word or phrase or so?
I want to thank you for sharing your info it works , enjoy your videos a lot.Your one of the gems on this amazing platform of CZcams.
Love it, shot under par for the first time with this tip.
This honestly shaved 10 strokes off my game today (my putting sucked ) but I couldn't believe the difference in power and how connected I felt. Thanks man, that's what my game needed.
Man, this is so simple and helped me tremendously. Just had one of the best range sessions I've ever had 👏
Fantastic!! Well done @D D!!
TS
The Hogan's arms and the King's shoulder tips helped me immensely. Best ball striking round in years.
Tom, another classic lesson! This is another to sure go to history. Hogan, Chuck Norris of golf :) , sure has elbows tucked in, major point, but no other teacher has touched this! Great lesson!
Coupled with your shoulder pointing to the ball tip, this works great. thankssss Tom!
Awesome! I'm very glad to know that my instruction content and teaching style are resonating with you!!
Thanks so much for sharing your ball striking improvement and keep up the great work!! 💪💪

Out back on my home range, on a glorious No Cal evening, using “Hogan Arms”....Yet another game changer from Mr. Saguto. Feasting on crispy fried chicken and mashed Po Ta Toes. A tad awkward at first (feel like De Chambeau looks) but after a couple dozen swings I’m mashing. Maybe the best tip yet.
Train Rolls On !
gordon ritchie Don’t forget the gravy!!
You are an excellent instructor. I have that book The Five Lessons. I love it. I love his swing. I am brand new to golf. Thank you very much for your instructions.
This is exactly what was happening to me today at the range. My arms naturally hang weak so I actually ended up folding my right palm over to where the v goes straight up the shaft and due to my slightly odd arm hang this pulled my elbow to my side and straight down. Once I locked this in it was even better than yesterday at the range. Now it feels like a hinge. Thanks again Tom!
I tried this and what a huge difference in ball striking, solid crispy shots that carried the ball 10 yards farther. Great tip !!
This might be it... this is the tip we have all been waiting for
This is really a good check. It's awesome for setting up into the grip as well.
Love Ben Hogan. Thank you !
Def trying this next time out....another great lesson Tom...awesome!
Amazing, I have a lot of swing thoughts including shallowing lag etc all of which hard for me to achieve UNTIL NOW. Tried this out on video last night, bloody stupid was my first reaction as I was pinched and couldn't go anywhere. After a few swings started to connect and compress then bang it all started to work and hitting compressing with much more consistency. Cool then videoed and when played back not only connecting but under plane and more lag. Been watching Tom on and off for a while, not sure about S&T as I don't really understand it but hell if this is watch it creates I'm 100% so thank you Tom.
You can call it whatever you want to, Paul. As long as it delivers body-friendly, consistent crispy contact for you, then who cares what name it goes by, right??... 😎

Tried on the course today finally. Wow, best round of the year by far. Thinking I’m about ready to buy some blades and a tour bag.
I just emailed a young guy this video link. I was doing my best to get him to do the "Hogan Arms" and he was starting to get it but I think seeing your video will help confirm that I know what I am talking about. Love your energy. Cheers
Tom, I'm 48 and have tried taking tips from countless youtubers, and did 6 lessons with a local golf pro after struggling for two years with impact, power and direction. This video has revolutionized my game! After 3 range sessions and just making my back-swing I am crushing the ball now, or as you would say, hitting it as crispy as an order of KFC and some million dollar shots! Needless to say, I"m a subscriber now and going to search for some chipping videos on your page tonight! Thank you!

Tom
I wish I could Like this more than once, for every time I watch it. This has helped me iron out my hook into a more controlled draw.
My congratulations! Your Ben Hogan swing analysis is fairly correct. You are not like most others dummies golf teachers that keep inventing drills to innocents pupils, waisting their time (and money).You go always to the right point. I thank you very much.
Transformative tip, seriously.😳👏🏽
You are the most interesting and informative golf teacher I've ever seen. What can you do for seniors who have lost mobility?
Cannot thank enough for the everflowing semperfy, body friendly drill vids! Played a round last week and didn't get Hogan's arms. At the end of the day losed money. Money is not the issue, but the face knowing l am beaten. Now got Hogan's arm, last puzzle piece and on a mission to get my money back and much more!
I'm glad the Hogan Arms video helped you. Now go out there and win your money back!! 😆
Cheers!
Tom
Thanks Tom. I tried this, it was easy to implement and worked really well. I really enjoyed my round as I was flushing irons better than I have for years, and wasn't worrying about dodgy strikes. Gaining distance and going over the back of greens was a lovely problem to have!
Awesome!! Well done, Neil, and thanks so much for sharing your improvement!!
(Sorry about that distance "problem".... 💪💪😎)
Keep up the great work!!
Tom
Another great lesson Tom. I will join. Thanks.
Hey Tom I’ve been watching your videos now for a while I love how you simplify things and how you put things over with it being as crispy as KFC 🤣 anyway I’m over here in the UK and I must say your videos have helped me enormously especially today I put into practice the Hogan arms and I was hitting the ball a good 20 yards further and a lot more accurate I was loving it , I’ve had numerous lessons with different instructors but to be fair you have got me hitting it the best ever so keep up the great work Cheers Mate 👊👍👍🏌🏾♂️🏌🏾♂️🏌🏾♂️Regards Nigel Martin
I have watched 100's of golf tip videos and have never seen this tip. I am anxious to try it on the range. Thank You and God Bless.
Thanks! I hope it plays well for you, David!

I love this tip . I wish I knew this 10 years ago. You should put the radar on the shots to show how sweetly they are struck
You have helped my scores drop 6 strokes. Thank You
“Squeeze the ball” is the best advice I’ve ever received, and it boils down to maintaining this arm/body connection.
Right you are, Collin. Keeping those connections intact is critical if we are to have any hope of consistency!
Cheers!
Tom
Watched the Ben Hogan’s arms video and worked on turning the torso like you teach. GAME CHANGER! So much KFC Cripsy I can’t wait to play again. You are the best!! Keep up the great work, thanks so much!
That's awesome, Mickey!! I'm very glad to know that these lessons resonated so well with you; nice job incorporating them into your swing.
Thanks for sharing your success, have fun out there, and keep it crispy!! 😎

Game changing. No better yet life changing!

Tom
Tried hogans arms yesterday at the range,was hitting about 265 yards into a strong wind! Really improves the ball striking.Did not duff a single shot
Thanks Tom, well done
I definitely have seen an improvement in my connection since watching these videos. Grip & swing are all simplified and connection is more efficient. It feels buttery rather than crispy to me. I'm more confident and my Greens in Regulation stats are better. (my club course is 7200 yards and we have only one par4 shorter than 400 yards) Great work Tom. Now lets talk putting!
Great tip Tom, thanks.
Snazzy duds, love the plus fours.
Love this one Tom, I've been struggling with connection lately.
Do you have any plans to do any close management vlogs?
Life changing. My clubs were almost being sold as I was really struggling with my irons. I watched this, practiced and things improved hugely. Many thanks.
Best tip yet.
This video tip changed my game.. tried the method and instance results.. 45 out of 50 dead straight. More important though, I had FUN again instead of wondering what the he'll my ball was going to do next. Best video I've seen in many years.. thank you
My pleasure! I'm very glad to know that this lesson resonated with you - great job incorporating it into your swing so effectively!!
TS
I used your swing today shot 6 under. I hit my short irons at flag every time. Your tips have changed my game. I did not hit one fat shot all day.
Saguto! This tip is AWESOME! I had crispy irons before but now my drives and irons are cripsier than ever with buttery mash potato and a side of beans!!
Hit some of my best irons of the year today trying out this tip. Thanks!
Well done, Drew!!!
Keep up the great work!!
Tom
I was given a mint condition copy of Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons printed in 1985. I read through it and spent about 2 hours on the range before I played 9 holes. I hit every FIR and nearly hit each GIR. I shot a 45 bc my short game was way off (first round in a few months). But this video is correct. I’ve never seen the ball flights this swing produces. The ball goes up and keeps going up way farther than I’m accustomed. I’m a 12-14 HI any given month. My short game is historically my best game so hopefully this will lead to breaking 80 in 2022.
Or as I like to say, John, "the ball gets smaller faster..." 😎
Thanks for sharing your success, keep up the great work, and let's see you crashing through that 80 barrier really soon!
Tom
Hogan's fundamentals...stands endless visitation. Like the Bach voicings. Good stuff mon... good stuff. "Pre-flight check", love it. Thank you. How about you, me, Christo Garcia and anyone else who's willing play the Dunes sometime? That would be fun.
Good stuff. I’ve been reading the book, and wondered exactly what the elbows were doing there, this helps visualize it better to make sure I interpreted it correctly.. I always have my right elbow in the Hogan setup, but my left is always pointed out. Need to try it this way!
Yes - it will definitely make a difference, Chase!

I've been struggling with my irons in the past 4 months. No matter what I tried, nothing worked until I took Sagudo's tip of hitting irons like Ben Hogan. It's easy and simple to follow. No more far left or far right, but it lands within 15 yards! It works! The best part, it's simple for a middle aged man with 20 handicap. Thanks Tom!
@L. L.,
I'm very glad the instruction on my channel has benefited your game!! You've obviously done an excellent job digesting the lesson content, incorporating it into your swing, and taking ownership of it!!
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf Tom, after many months of frustration, I had no choice but to start searching the cure for my wayward swing. Every instructor is different! But, from watching over 20+ instructors, I found your simple instruction to be refreshing and easy to follow! I went out and tried it the very next day and it instantly worked! Thanks so much!
Great stuff again tom 😜😎
I have tried the Ben Hogan arms the last two practice rounds on the course. I don’t like practicing on the range. This has straightened my shots from driver to wedge and added more effortless power. It’s almost like cheating. Big test will be taking it to competition day. Thanks Tom!!!
I'm very glad to know that this Hogan's Arms lesson crisped up your ball striking, Paul - excellent job putting it into play on the course so quickly and effectively!!
Thanks for sharing your success and enjoy the competition!!
Tom
Love your vids they are the best on youtube for info and fun. I discovered this secret about 3 years ago and can confirm regardless of how it feels it's a major consistency and distance booster. I never really thought of it in terms of my elbows but will now, instead I felt like I was rotating my forearms particularly the trail one towards the ball. This would cause my elbow to stay closer to my side at the top of the swing and had my club more laid off something I'd been trying to do. I also am a big believer in connecting the left or target side arm with the tricep to the peck as far down as the nipple. I initially did this with wedges and short irons but found that the reason I struggled with long irons, hybrid and woods was that connection was above the nipple. When i tightened it up and got a tad closer to the ball it steepened my swing, I found my low point much more often and my overdraws or pulls became beautiful baby draws. I do caution that connecting like this with driver doesn't work, rather feel the inside of the tricep connected to the outside of the peck and not as far down. This is needed due to the ball position being more forward in the stance but having the trail elbow tucked is huge with driver and will add yards and a more consistency. Finally, doing this in my opinion makes it a lot harder to go caveman and swing over the top, your elbows will get closer not further away at the top. If there is a huge gap between your arms the over the top swing is a lot easier to do. I have taught my son to swing and these are major checkpoints and as mentioned in the video it is so subtle you can miss it. Even though I have implemented it into my routine I too have played several holes and realized my issue was my elbows.
I truly appreciate your kind words and detailed comment!! You share some great information.
I may soon be doing a video on that trail elbow, so stay tuned!!!
Thanks again!!
Tom
@@SagutoGolf I hadn't liked your vid for some reason so I gave it a like and subscribed to your channel. Thanks again for your great vids, I started playiing 5 years ago and am pretty good thanks to videos. People look at you sometimes funny when you tell them you learned to play on youtube but the proof is in the pudding. Prior to golf my love was basketball and I played in college so I am a good athlete but my addiction to golf is why I have made giant strides as I put in the work which isn't work cause I can't get enough of it. I came across another one of your videos about 6 months ago regarding simplifying things and it synced up perfectly with what I had decided to do about 3 years ago, essentially employing a Steve Stricker style swing. My connection that I mentioned in my comment also suggest that my swing is based on rotation, I try to take the arms out of it.
Thanks!This video is very helpful, I tried the technique today in driving range, it works quite well. Let me buy you a cup of coffee. Many thanks 🙏
Thank you very much, Ken - I sincerely appreciate your generous support and I'm very glad to know that you are enjoying my channel's content!!
Keep up the great work!!
Tom
Well I tried this today on a round with no practice beforehand and wow! Straighter and therefore more confident than I've ever been! Shot 96 on a par 72 with a bad back. The results kept me going and back to full fitness this could be a big key in my future game. Many Thanks for helping and explaining things so brilliantly. Love the site!
Lol. Shot 96? I thought you said this really helped 🤭🤭😂😂I'm just teasing bro👍
Thanks for this one! Awesome and extremely helpful, may have cured the chop I get caught in! Also, the feet at 10 and 2 is a great visual that is a good thing to miimic! Thanks again, I am trying to avoid the chop!!
Yea baby. Hogan arms!!! Thanks!!!
This one video earned my subscription 😂 awesome video
Since following your videos and Ben Hogan‘S golf swing 4 weeks ago, I have reduced by hcp by 4 shots . Time and more views will reduce that even further of that I am sure. My putting has improved as well. I am one happy Chappy. Thank you and Ben Hogan.
Hi Ferdinand,
I'm very glad to learn that my channel's instruction has contributed to your being a Happy Chappy!....😆😆
Mr. Hogan timelessly delivers tremendous instructional value, right?! But there are just so many misconceptions about Hogan’s swing out there - particularly within the realm of misunderstood or misapplied instruction - that have sadly relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of chronic frustration. We're doing our best here to clear these up one by one and put an end to this madness, because if we can get Hogan right there is tremendous instructional value to be garnered!!
By the way, due to their popularity I've combined my Hogan lesson videos into a playlist series on this channel. Here's the link if you are interested: czcams.com/play/PLV62KxT7Mp7IyNDRp0hZK1F1OScdXx-u1.html
Keep up the great work!!
Tom

The greatest golf trip ever! This has absolutely changed my golf swing...the missing piece that brought everything together
Awesome Tom

Serious game changer. Only golf you tuber I’ve been able to learn anything from. Kept it simple, Thanks man!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words and I'm very glad to know that my lesson content is resonating well with you and providing clarity in the muddied, overly complicated, oft-conflicting realm of golf instruction.
Embrace the challenge and have fun out there!!
Tom

Have you looked into it yet? Thousands of men and women from across the globe - including many seasoned, low-handicap, competitive players and spanning all age ranges from junior to super-senior - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result, and I'm happy to let their unsolicited testimonials tell the story: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews. And here is a link to my free mini course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” if you are interested in checking it out: go.saguto.golf/
@@SagutoGolfwell your videos have helped me a ton as a beginner. I’ve taken some notes on a few other of your videos. If I dominate (hitting par on more than one hole😂) the next time I play with your tips, I’ll sign up. I’ve already gotten a lot more tips in my back pocket I’ve tried at the range from your videos. Will be playing with friends this week. Your videos have accelerated me as a new player. If not though I’d love to buy a Saguto hat or something lol
