The Only Way to Swing

By Yvon Legault

I am convinced this is the best kept secret since the game was introduced in Scotland in the twelfth century. A logical and I repeat, effective way to swing a golf club explained in a way you most probably never heard of, but used by all the Elite golfers. You could say it is a secret, but I prefer to say it is simply a know-how. The closest explanation I found on the topic after writing my book is from Tom Watson during a clinic. It is on Youtube: ‘Tom Watson golf swing’s secret’. He does not say how, but he tells us that he feels like he is coming over the top on the downswing and of course he is not. My book tells you what to do very specifically. For those who don’t have time to read both of my books, I have included a resume on putting and chipping.

DEDICATION

Of the different passions that triggered the pleasures of my present journey on this planet, some have survived to this day. They are the love of life, people, writing and golf. This book is the sum of my remaining passions. It is the result of my research, my perseverance, my inquiring mind or maybe I should say my stubbornness. I publish this book with great pride. I dedicate it to my late Uncle Roger, who, a long time ago, as an introduction to the wonderful game of golf, taught me the art of putting. I also dedicate it to my playing partners of the first hour: Paul, Andrew, Dan, Alan, Philippe, Marcellin, Roch, John, Norm and Fern with whom I have played more than 175 games over the years. I dedicate it to all lovers of the game, which after all, is so similar to life.

I am grateful to Mr. John Andrisani for reading my books and writing the foreword. of

I wish you enjoy my work and improve your golf game.

Sincerely,

Yvon Legault

‘And I thought I had it seen it all. So many things have been written on how to perform a golf swing over the last 130 years. If someone had read all the literature on the topic, I am convinced this person would be totally confused. ‘The only way to swing’ by Legault almost had me fell off my chair. The title could have been ‘The KISS’ swing’ or if you prefer ‘ The easiest way to produce an effective golf swing time after time’. You will be amazed! I was astonished! This E-Book is priceless! You will thank Legault is the least I can say. One thing for sure; if you swing the club the way he says, you will produce great shots time after time. The way to execute the downswing is very clever, a revelation to me. It makes so much sense.

If you care for your game, do yourself a favor, read this Book and try what it says! I am convinced you will adopt it’.

Introduction

This book is the result of my research and discovery of the golfer’s Holy Grail’: a golf 'swing' that is effective, simple to perform and easy to repeat. I am convinced this is the best kept secret since the game was introduced in Scotland in the twelfth century.

The game of golf reminds us that perfection is not of this world. For all fans of the sport, including the Elite, it is not only the perfect shots that produce a great round of golf, it is the quality of the not so good ones, and they are the majority. After an exceptional round of 66, the great Ben Hogan was asked how many perfect shots he had hit. His answer was two. Mr. Hogan’s answer reflects what the game of golf is all about.

The word ‘swing’ means: to cause to move in alternate directions around a fixed point, on an axis. It cannot better describe the real nature of a golf swing. This book is all about producing a swing that properly fits the description.

I published a book in 2001: 'Become a putting machine', which became a bestseller and is still selling today. In all humility, the method of 'putting' I propose is in my opinion the most effective one. I keep teaching the method year after year and I haven’t heard of one golfer yet that did not adopt it.

All this to say that you can be reassured, to few things near, the ‘swing’ methodology that I am proposing to you is used by all the Elite players, but for some unknown reason to me, an important part of the ‘know-how’ is never talked about, like it is a best kept secret. Only a few people have been voicing it since the early 1900’s. It almost has become an esoteric concept. One would think that the Pros keep it among their brotherhood.

At the time of publishing my first book, the Editor had suggested I write a book on the golf 'swing'. I was not ready. I had the feeling there was a missing link, but I didn’t know what it was. My quest for the golfer’s 'Holy Grail', as I like to call it, has proven rich in books reading, videos’ viewing, experiments at the driving range and on the course. I have to mention that it is following the suggestion of a dear friend that I wrote and published this book.

For more than a century, the golf world has been broadcasting tons of golf ‘tips’, many times contradicting one another. I guess we like to complicate the matter. Let me give you a few examples: different ways to swing on different planes. Keep your weight on your left side all the way (Stack’n tilt). Multiple ways on how you
