A great clip of Fred Astaire dancing and playing golf at the same time. It takes great balance to achieve this and also the firm planting of the left foot prior to the start of the downswing. Listen and you will hear the tap of the plant and then the start of the downswing. The original Happy Gilmour???

I show this clip to the javelin throwers I coach to let them see real rhythm in action. Talk about correct application of forces in a relaxed manner!

Fred had a great golf swing..
His use of vertical and horizontal ground pressures is better than most tour pros we see today. The heavier clubs of the past required more force grounding into the feet, and who better to do that than Astaire!
Bravo Great One!

Tiger could not do this. But no one else can either. Fred was one of a kind and has no equal. I miss him along with a slew of others.

Thats is bloody brilliant..I love how he really gets his front heel lifted and then plants it down through impact…
For sure that should be a NIKE commercial.

Tiger who???
THAT, my friends, should be a Nike commercial!

It’s still not as impressive as that video of Milton Berle hitting a ball WITHOUT a club.

Amazing!!!!

Talk about poetry in motion!

This is one time when the overused word “amazing” really applies! Yet another demonstration of Astaire’s perfect coordination and sense of rhythm. And NO cgi . . .
BTW, YouTube resolution is too low to show it but when he’s driving that series of balls at the end, he is really booming them. Mr. Astaire loved to play The Game.
