The golf swing is such a subjective entity, so is there really such thing as perfection in this respect? The answer is yes and no. Few in the golf world would say that Tiger Woods has a perfect swing, but the results he achieves through his style of play are nothing short of phenomenal.

On the other side of the coin, Tom Purtzer and Al Geiberger are reputed to each possess the perfect golf swing, yet their professional careers were less-than-memorable. Many younger golf fans have no idea who these players even are, so does perfection even have a place in the game of golf?

Perfection with respect to the golf swing has more to do with results than with technical purity. Because there is no way to play a perfect golf game, the perfect golf swing is a myth. Form and function are too very different things when it comes to having a swing geared towards professional success.
