Stress-Free Golf Swing by Jeff Richmond review
A one-move swing fix aimed at fat shots, inconsistency and a sore back after a round

Is it worth it?
If you're looking at this, there's a fair chance golf has stopped being relaxing. You strike it fine on the range, then lose it by the third hole, or your back aches for two days afterwards, and your handicap hasn't moved in years. That's the itch this is written for. The pitch is that Jeff Richmond spotted a move in Ben Hogan's post-accident swing, something to do with how little the head travels, and that modern tour players quietly do it too. The page builds that up at length and never tells you what the move actually is. That's deliberate. What you're buying is one swing idea, taught properly, with drills to groove it. Here's the fair bit: a single clear swing thought really can help a mid to high handicapper, especially one carrying six conflicting tips from six different people. Simplifying is a genuine thing. But the testimonials on the page (15 yards with every club, shooting 80 after five days) are the seller's claims with nothing behind them, and setting your expectations there will only disappoint you. One more thing. This bills on a recurring basis. The page doesn't say what recurs, how much, or how often. Find that out at checkout before you hand over a card.
Pros
- One simple idea to work on instead of a dozen swing thoughts
- Aimed squarely at older and less flexible golfers
- Instant digital access, no waiting for a delivery
- Cheaper than a few lessons with a club pro
Cons
- Recurring charge with no price or billing schedule shown on the page
- You can't see what the move is, or what you actually receive, before paying
- Results claims in the testimonials are unsupported, and no drill fixes a swing without range time
What you get
A digital programme built around one swing move, delivered online rather than posted, so you read and watch it on a phone or laptop. Expect instruction plus drills to take to the range, and the weekly Consistent Golf Gazette emails. The page never lists modules, page counts or video lengths, so the exact contents stay unconfirmed until you're inside.
Before you buy
- Check the checkout page for the exact price, what the recurring charge covers and how to cancel it
- Check the refund window and whether it applies to the subscription as well as the first payment
- If you already have a coach you trust, ask them about it first, since a new single swing thought can cut across what you're working on
Who it suits
Mid to high handicappers, often 50 plus, who feel buried under conflicting tips and want one thing to work on. Low handicappers and anyone already in regular lessons should probably look elsewhere.
