A few of these have been seen before/lifted from here, but I thought they looked cool as a collection. Any guesses know who second in from the top left is? The guy on the bottom right probably knows…
A right handed swing from Nick O’Hearn?
I have no idea…might need a hint if no one gets it.
Wild guess…bottom right looks like Two, so maybe there is an Aussie connection.
Robert Allenby.
DLIII maybe? I have no idea.
I agree with Mashie. I think that’s Nick O’Hern, flipped to right handed. Im amazed at how good Hogan looks in that picture, he stays so tight and connected with his arms to his torso through impact, and the club really working left, it seems it would be hard to hit it very far offline with that release.
Got me stumped Bom
It still looks like me but dont think it is.
Thought of O’Hern but dont think the yardage signs are flipped.
My gut instinct is Tom Pernice or Steve Pate but prob way off base
I was thinking that would be pretty easy, though I suppose questions tend to be easy enough when you know the answer. It’s Richard Green flipped over- I find my eye is trained to look at swings as righty so it’s easier to see the details when I flip the lefties. He seems to have gotten a little flipper going through the zone as time has gone on, but he still gets a pretty good squeeze on it.
Btw Two, who’s the top left? I got that sequence from here at some point but never wrote down who it was…
DeVicenzo? The facial profile looks like him to me.
Andy
It is Nick Ohern from this video. youtube.com/watch?v=SqiEO1cy … re=related
Richard Green is more a a right arm thruster through impact. youtube.com/watch?v=ZMS4jmnB … re=related
Thanks for that Fader! That’s very funny- I’d grabbed those screen shots a long time ago and somehow remembered it as Green. But every time I went back to look at his other swings, to my eye, he’d gotten very flippy! That explains it all now… thanks a lot for that. I like when things make sense because they don’t make sense. The other thing that’s funny is that I could never find that original video of ‘Richard Green’ that I’d grabbed the images from, I figured it had been taken down!
Cheers,

Thanks for producing and posting that NRG. I watched some Youtube videos and read on Wikipedia about Peete. Apparently he was self-taught, and did not take up the game until about age 23. Then he was #1 on Tour in fairways hit FOR 10 YEARS. I do not know what his distance was, so it is possible being a relatively short hitter may have helped him, but that achievement is still incredible.
I am not a golf expert, but here is what hits me about Peete. Like Hogan, he was “handicapped.”…his being a fixed bent left elbow. It seems he has some very Hogan-like qualities to his swing, especially from a caddy view video, where he shows some great no-flip post-hit action, preserving the angle of the right arm and shaft.(this noted by Jim McLean on a Carl Welty youtube video).

That’s a great sequence, i really like that 10th frame just after impact it looks to me like he really has the shaft and torso turning through impact together in unison, and keeps his hands closer to his body than just about anyone ive ever seen.
I remember following Calvin when the PGA came to town each year. What stood out to me was that he 1) hardly took any turf, 2) was always well dressed, 3) flushed it all the way around, 4) never seemed to force anything, and 5) never looked at his playing partner as the competitor hit his shot. He just looked straight ahead down the fairway. Yes he was shorter than most guys but wasn’t dinking it that much compared to the rest of the players…

I was posting some swing pics in the Great Golf Photos thread, but thought they should be somewhere else, I’d forgotten about this thread.
De Vicenzo and Mark James
