Lee Westwood: the pause before the swing

SportLocation Golf Desk · 3 Oct 2026

Across a montage of tee shots, a composed setup gives way to the decisive movement of the swing.

Lee Westwood’s golf is represented here through a series of tee shots, with the clearest detail coming before the ball moves: the golfer settles over it, then commits to the swing.

That contrast is central to the shot. At address, the clubhead is set behind the ball and the golfer’s attention is fixed on the strike. The movement that follows has a clear purpose: send the ball away from the tee and let the follow-through carry the swing through.

The montage also shows the range of clubs used in these tee-shot sequences, including an iron and a hybrid identified by on-screen graphics. In golf, the choice of club changes the demands of the shot; the common thread is the need to make a clean strike from the teeing ground.

The sequence returns to a simple sporting detail: the club moving through the ball, with the golfer’s balance carrying into the finish.
