My name is Petter Tärbe and here’s the story behind Forgotten Master Moves.

I could shoot good scores. And the next day 90.

I never trusted my swing.

Two-way misses.
Back pain.
Constant fixing.

I was always one swing thought away from losing it.

And I started noticing something.

Most golfers on a range aren’t practicing. They’re searching.

They hit one perfect shot. And spend the next 30 balls trying to find it again.

That bothered me.

The Turning Point

In my early 30s I rebuilt my swing and started shooting under par. I started coaching and contineously rebuilt my swing.

I shot great scores (mid 60s) but was plagued with inconsistency and back pain.

Eventually I realized something uncomfortable:

I wasn’t failing to execute swings. I was executing instructions.

And many of them were fighting each other.

So I stopped fixing positions.

For years I barely played.
I studied one question instead:

What actually creates a golf swing?

Not how it looks.
Not what a camera sees in slow motion.

What drives it.

Because golf shouldn’t feel like luck.

What I Found

Great players didn’t all swing the same.

But they weren’t random either.

Different styles — built on the same internal engine:

  • How the club moves
  • How forces behave
  • How the body reacts

Not the other way around.

When I built my swing around that idea:

  • I could practice all day
  • play pain-free
  • and trust my ball striking.

Everything changed.

Why Forgotten Master Moves Exists

Modern instruction gives tips.

But tips without structure create dependence.

I don’t want students who need me forever. I want golfers who understand their swing so well they can coach themselves.

I want to answer these questions: What’s a high performance and sustainable golf swing? And how is it achievable?

So instead of hands on coaching I much more believe in:

Understand the Why → Train It Athletically → Own it

Forgotten Master Moves is my attempt to organize the golf swing into something logical.

Not simple by hiding information — simple by explaining the right information.

Most of it comes from ideas discovered between the 1920s and 1970s — when the swing was understood from the inside.

Who This Is For

This won’t fit everyone.

If you like to go for a lesson and rely on the coach this probably isn’t your cup of tea.

But if you want knowledge that:

  • gives you an overview and answers the “why”
  • creates the golf swing through power first athletic execution
  • is pattern specific so you don’t take someone else’s medicine
  • and has the potential to make you feel like a player

You’ll probably feel at home here.

I’d rather teach you once than fix you forever.

My Chronological Story

  • Started golf at age 7 — lived on the course
  • Handicap 4 by age 13
  • Grew up around elite players, some reaching Tours and Ryder Cup level
  • Struggled transitioning into a stable adult swing
  • Competed around ~1.5 handicap but with a volatile game
  • Stepped away from golf during my 20s — only occasional rounds
  • Returned in my early 30s with analytical structure from university and corporate work
  • Rebuilt my swing mechanically and began shooting under par
  • Performance improved, but the swing never felt natural
  • Developed recurring back injuries while scoring improved (mid 60s)
  • Started coaching — good results but felt I lacked true understanding
  • Entered PGA education but left early in the process…
  • One question took over: What actually drives a golf swing?
  • Began long-term research and discussions with Per Källfelt (≈7 years).
  • Deepened my golf relationship with my dad — a great striker in the 70s and 80s — who still plays to about a 1 handicap at 75+.
  • Performed five major swing rebuilds on myself as a test subject and with tight knit ginny pig community.
  • Gradually understood motion, forces, and the mind-body connection
  • 2023 — Created FMM Version 1 (unpublished structure)
  • Mid-2024 — First complete framework (hard to read but coherent)
  • 2025 — FMM launched publicly on YouTube and continuously refined
  • Early 2026 — Version 5 (9th total iteration) and a base that I’m proud of

Now, with this I feel that I adequately answer the questions: What’s a high performance and sustainable golf swing? And how is it achievable?
