But as the game moved away from the heavy wooden clubs of his youth, Hughes’ advantage became less and less. He began a search to understand the swing, a search which has ultimately seen him emerge in recent years as one of the game’s most sought after coaches.

Hughes now famously works with a number of Tour players and one can’t help but get the feeling that beyond just his knowledge of the mechanics of the swing, it is Hughes’ credibility as a player that resonates with his brethren.

As always this discussion is broad and covers multiple topics. But Hughes is an interesting thinker and an engaging speaker and we hope you enjoy what is a comprehensive discussion with host Rod Morri about all things golf.
