Geoff Ogilvy's Golf Swing

Here's the swing of your 2009 Accenture Match Play Champion, Geoff Ogilvy:



Our quick, Monday morning analysis focuses on how the Aussie's physique dictates a more upright swing plane.

The PGA Tour media guide lists Ogilvy at 6'2" 180 pounds. He's lanky and tall, like Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh, two other golfers who, because of their height, stand closer to the ball and swing the club on a more upright plane.

Since golf clubs tend to have a standard length and lie, it's easy to imagine how different Ogilvy's posture and stance are, versus, say the 5'4" Ian Woosnam (who stands farther from the ball and swings on a flatter plane).

The takeaway? Fit your swing to players who have similar physiques.
