Arnold Palmer always said, “swing your swing”. And this woman is certainly doing that.

But what makes it most impressive is that it works. According to Steve Wheatcroft, who posted the video on Twitter yesterday, she can lace the ball straight and over 200 yards.

If you watch it again (I’ll bet you’ve already watched it more than once, I know I did), she does check a few fundamental swing boxes. First, she certainly makes a full backswing, turning her back towards the target. Second, there’s little doubt she’s shifting her weight into the front leg on the downswing.

So let this be a lesson to all of us when we’re trying to get those Adam Scott movements exactly right.

Just swing your swing!
