This group of swing reflections will also give some information on how the human body’s design will not permit ‘just any’ movement without a golfer paying the price (in terms of consistency and some years down the line, injury). Incidentally, if ever on the driving range at a big event, look at the golfer from behind not down the line, but a butt view.

He had to work hard just ...

England’s Paul Casey is off to a good start in his final chance to win a tournament this year. Casey birdied the final hole at Albany Golf Club on Thursday for a 6-under 66 that gave him a share of the first-round lead with Jimmy Walker and Zach Johnson in the Hero World Challenge. The scenery and tropical sunshine made it feel like a working vacation, and a gentle breeze off the tip of New Providence island only added to the relaxation.
