Pro golfer Hosung Choi has the most ridiculous golf swing you’ll ever see

Published

on

Professional golfer Hosung Choi, playing in the third round of the Kolon Korea Open at Woo Jeong Hills Country Club, has set the golf Internet on fire with his wildly entertaining golf swing. And while it may look ridiculous, he’s currently sitting at 8-under for the event through three rounds, only two shots back of the leader. It’s worth noting that the top two finishers in the Korea Open will earn a spot in the 2018 Open Championship at Carnoustie next month.

Enjoy the videos of his golf swing below!

Top-100 swing instructor and GolfWRX’s resident swing expert Tom Stickney has this to say about Choi’s golf swing: “The club goes up and away with a nice rerouting motion from the top into a perfect delivery and impact position. It’s obvious that this guy can play from those two positions, however, I’m not sure about the dismount. Nor can I even guess why he does it…I’m betting he was self-taught and made that move from day one. Great lesson to all the “golf swing” centric people playing today, why change it if it brings you to the dance?!?!”

    This guy’s swing is the most perfect through the ball in the history of the game. It rivals Jay Berger’s serve! You high handicappers will never get to feel what a pure strike is like.

    Congrats to Hosung Choi! True, there is not one swing for everybody. But there is one and only one unique swing for each individual; it is the swing that makes the body feel safe enough to focus on precision and finesse. Great work Mr. Choi. The instincts are formed by trial and error as the body leads the way while the brain catalogs what hurts and what works; and you have forged your instinctively safe swing that allows you to relax and play golf instead of the daily search and puppeteering of a perceived “perfect swing”. Best of luck to you.

    not only his swing, but his entire golfing life is a drama. debuted late without a thumb finger—had it gotten chopped up while he was a sushi man, gutting a tuna. he has quite a fandom in korea.

    Swings are all different, other than the cookie cutter swings tight by a lot of “gurus”. Fact os the Ball is only on the face a fraction of a second and what happens after that is not material as long as the swing into the ball is square and online. Gary Player proved that with his “walkthrough”swing. I believe the big finish probably gives him more speed through the impact.

    His earlier swing was more conventional. I think this has to do him not having a thumb, not trying over rotate arms through follow through. Kind of like helicopter finish when you try to fade.

    You can’t fault him for not rotating enough through impact.

    I was watching him last night on the Korean open. Every time I looked at him while he was walking down the fairway, something about him the way he wore his hat he resembles the late great Seve!!!!!!

    S Korea version of the merry Mex. Hits the slot and inside of the ball, every time.
    Carry on, little Rocket man. he takes squaring the clubface with body turn to the extreme.

    I must assume he has no cleats on his shoes otherwise he would injure himself twisting so much on his left lead foot. Not recommended for cleated golfers.

Testing Lorem Ipsum

Published

on


What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Photos from the 2026 PGA Championship

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
