Fascinating to learn more about the 5 time open champion. Would you say he was doing something similar to ABS? I saw some analysis stating he was doing the TGM right arm swing. Curious to know the thoughts of those of you who may have some personal knowledge from down under. Thanks!

I love Peter Thomson’s swing! His Shell’s match against Gary Player is definitely worth watching. 1962 at Royal Melbourne. Enjoy.

Knowing almost nothing about Thomson’s thoughts on dynamics it’s hard to say how he viewed his personal process, but he looks far removed from any directly applied TGM discussion relative to the trail arm. Lag or Two might be good sources for first-hand information.
What’s clear to me however, through observation, is how clear it was to him to properly clear the pelvis from ground up thus making room for the right arm.
