Forgotten Master Moves
Old-Timer Knowledge for Modern Golf
Forgotten Master Moves primarily focuses on explaining old-timer knowledge for modern golf. I firmly believe that the most important golf swing discoveries were made long ago – specifically in the mid-1900s, before tools like trackman, force plates, and the ability to analyze every golf swing angle on video.
The website provides deeper swing technique information for the benefit of anyone interested in developing ball striking.
Sincerely,
Petter Tärbe (read my story here if you wish)
