As I understand the definition a fundamental is a principle on which something is based. So are there fundamentals in golf? In particular the golf swings?
I think there are but come caveats.
We all have a grip, stand to the side of the ball, have a backswing, a downswing and impact. These, by deduction, are fundamentals to a golf swing. How you perform them is quite another matter.
If we look at Matt Kuchar and Dustin Johnson – they both hold on to it, have a backswing etc etc but it is done in such a manner that appears totally different. DJ’s grip is really strong, Jordan Speith’s is relatively weak.
My point is, there probably aren’t any absolutes when it comes to fundamentals though we can probably agree that there are fundamentals. Find YOUR way of doing the fundamentals and you’ll improve.
