Forgotten Master Moves. My Tribute to Golf.
Since 2014, I’ve explored countless swing theories, only to find that most answers lie in the timeless moves of the old masters. Their naturally powerful swings were built on simpler concepts—not a million data points. The forgotten fundamentals run like a red thread through this website. I hope you find something here that helps your ball striking.
Sincerely,
Petter Tärbe

FMM on Flaghunters
Justin Tang and Jesse Perryman were kind enough to have me on their show, Flaghunters Golf Pod. Quite a humbling experience, since coaches like Mike Malaska, Jim Hardy, Sean Foley (coaching Tiger for a stretch), John Erickson, Bradley Hughes, Pia Nilsson, Gabriel Hjertstedt and many more have frequented the discussion over the years.
A big thank you to Justin and Jesse for the possibilty to spread my vision and philosophy of the golf swing.

And the full podcast library here.
Please take the time to listen to all these great conversations. Justin and Jesse have one of the most authentic and value adding approaches in the golf media universe.
