Gilmore’s swing can help
Happy Gilmore is known for its highest power in the movies’ t-shirts, and while sometimes a little cartoony, that doesn’t mean the way he waves the club has no merit.
“Happy Gilmors [sic] “They are really good for your golf game. They are really good for kids because they are fun, but they are also more instinctive,” Harrington said.
One of the key themes of Harrington’s preaching on his channel is the need to incorporate athletic ability into the swing to generate strength. There may be no better example of this phenomenon than Happy Gilmore’s fictional swing.
“It’s much easier to move and hit the ball than to stay still and hit it,” he said. “I suggest everyone should be a happy Gilmore.”
Use Happy Gilmore’s swing to develop strength
When you run the ball with a few steps and swing, you can use physics to get your power. One of the key principles for generating strength in a golf swing is to use the ground to play to your strengths, and the happy Gilmore swing does a great job.
When you use the run, you will implant the lead feet into the ground when you are finished swinging. When you do this, you push that foot naturally, then push the ground backward and start the ground reaction.
“It’s a great place for children and even adults to practice because it creates a lot of power,” Harrington said. “It does all the basic work they’re talking about without much going on.”

Another important element of a happy Gimore swing is the way it forces you to transfer your weight correctly. When you run and swing, you naturally start weight transfer before completing the defender, the longest batsman in the world.
“If you can do that, the club will stay on the plane,” Harrington said. “Go forward, keeping the club going may be this Beginners can do the best things for their golf swing. ”
The movement is similar to step drilling, which helps teach proper weight transfer and helps players reduce weight to potential clients earlier in the swing phase.
