No Model Golf Swing
- There's no single model golf swing; it's about finding the right matchups within your own swing.
- Pros understand their swing's limitations and work within them, not against them.
Adam Scott's Swing
- Adam Scott's swing was considered the "model" swing, inspiring many to emulate it.
- Justin Thomas, however, found that copying Scott's planted feet hurt his distance, showing the importance of individual swing styles.
