"TBT… College days. I still have that putter ( TP Mills 3 ) but not sure about that gold chain and open collar… proof that everyone needs an editor," he wrote in the caption.

Brandel Chamblee shares swing tips on social media

On Wednesday, a golf instructor, Mike Carroll, shared a video of Gary Woodland's swing on his X (formerly Twitter) account. Along with the video, he shared valuable advice on how to take a shot.

"Gary Woodland 191mph. Notice how his head moves away from the target and up in the backswing. When we move away and up in the backswing, it gives us to shift towards the target and down in transition. This then allows us to explode back up, aiding in speed,"Carroll wrote.

Brandel Chamblee reacted to the post by resharing the video on his social media handle, along with the caption:

"Not like there is a need to further invalidate the ideas of stack and tilt—the stats do that brilliantly— but there is not a single great player that didn’t move away and/or up from the target in the takeaway..

"and then recenter in the transition… ....this dynamic move creates the balance between unbridled power and the necessary precision at the highest level," he added.
