Golf Swing Productions by Mark Crossfield Greg Chalmers and Lou Stagner
About this episode

In this episode, we explore the age-old debate in the world of golf: is it more important to have a pretty golf swing or a functional one? On one hand, a visually appealing golf swing can be a thing of beauty and can instill confidence in the player. On the other hand, a functional golf swing may not necessarily look pretty, but it gets the job done and can lead to more consistent shots and lower scores. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, this episode will have something for everyone looking to improve their golf game.
