Count Yogi Speaks #9 addresses one of the most important misunderstandings surrounding Count Yogi and his published record.

Count Yogi did not present Pull-Control as a variation of ordinary golf. He described a different movement, built around observation, Pull-Control, continuity, and letting go.

In this episode, Count Yogi speaks in his own voice about what he meant when he said, “We really don’t teach a swing. We teach a movement.” He explains why his words were meant literally, why Pull-Control must be understood as a complete movement, and why golfers should become more graceful as they age—not more awkward.

The episode also corrects another common misunderstanding: “Simple game—nothing to it” did not mean rejecting knowledge, preparation, or useful technology. Count Yogi used the tools of his own time, worked with golf publications and organizations, appeared in film, radio, and television, and valued knowing where you were going before making the movement.

His published record, demonstrations, and eyewitness testimony show a method preserved across decades, from youth into old age.

Count Yogi Speaks is a documentary series built from Count Yogi’s published words, recorded voice, documented history, and preserved record.

Pull-Control. Movement. Continuity. Results.

In Episode 8 of Count Yogi Speaks, Count Yogi speaks about one of the central truths of his published record: golf belongs to everyone.

From Chicago to the road, from Palm Springs to the documented demonstrations, Count Yogi taught golfers of every background. Children, older golfers, beginners, home professionals, women, men, and blind students all appear in the preserved history of his work.

This episode continues the sequence from “The Same Motion” and shows why Count Yogi’s message was never limited to one kind of golfer. The movement was natural. The method was simple. The results were demonstrated.

Golf is for everyone.

Simple game. Nothing to it.

In Episode 7 of Count Yogi Speaks, Count Yogi explains one of the simplest and most important ideas in his published method: golf is the same motion. Putts, strokes, and swings are not separate games. Only the length changes.

This episode continues the sequence from “Nothing Happens at the Ball” and “Through and Past the Ball,” showing how Count Yogi’s method preserved golf as a natural, continuous movement. The golfer approaches, sees the line, steps in, moves the club, and lets the motion complete itself.

Golf is a simple game. Nothing to it.

Count Yogi reflects on Rory McIlroy’s 12-under lead after Round 2 at Augusta, with Sam Burns, Patrick Reed, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry, and Scottie Scheffler still in the picture.#RoryMcIlroy #Masters #Augusta #Masters2026 #Round2 #McIlroy #SamBurns #PatrickReed #JustinRose #TommyFleetwood #ShaneLowry #ScottieScheffler #CountYogi #Golf

Count Yogi continues his explanation of the golf motion by describing where the movement completes itself—through and past the ball. When the movement is allowed to continue without interruption, the result appears naturally.

Count Yogi describes why the ball is not the event in golf. The movement continues through and past the ball, and when golfers stop trying to do something at that moment, the result appears naturally.

Count Yogi explains how the Five Simple Steps evolved from the original Three-Step Move he taught in Chicago, through traveling demonstrations in the 1950s and his teaching years in Palm Springs in the 1960s, before finally being written down in the mid-1970s in Five Simple Steps to Perfect Golf.

In this episode of Count Yogi Speaks, Count Yogi explains, in his own words, what he actually taught.

Not a swing.

Not a collection of positions.

A movement.

From the indoor schools of Chicago to thousands of students across the country, Count Yogi taught one continuous movement that begins when you approach the ball and ends when you are standing upright again. The movement never changed — only the length changed.

He reduced golf to what matters: Putts. Strokes. Swings.

Everything else was noise.

This episode preserves the original spirit of his demonstrations — calm, direct, and simple. No theory. No complication. Just Pull-Control, continuity, and observation.

Golf is for everyone.

Nothing to it.

Pull.

Control.

Let go.

In this episode, Count Yogi speaks about what he saw long before he ever taught golf. As a young man watching golfers play, he noticed that good shots always came from the same kind of movement—simple, continuous, and unbroken. He talks about how players lost that movement, not by forgetting something, but by adding too much. This talk is about observation, continuity, and why the club responds when it is allowed to move as a whole.

Count Yogi Speaks — Episode 1

In this first episode of Count Yogi Speaks, Count Yogi introduces himself in his own words—where he came from, how he entered the game of golf, what he observed, and what he chose to teach.

This podcast series is drawn from documented sources only: published books, recorded talks, filmed demonstrations, newspaper records, and eyewitness accounts. Nothing here is reconstructed, dramatized, or interpreted after the fact.

Count Yogi grew up inside American golf during its formative years. From early on, he noticed that the game was being taught in a way that made it harder than it needed to be. His work focused on restoring a natural way of moving the club—simple, repeatable, and under control—without strain or force.

Throughout his life, Count Yogi demonstrated his method publicly, taught students privately, and explained his ideas with clarity and consistency. His teaching emphasized movement, timing, and continuity, and it produced results across decades of play.

The knowledge shared in this series was preserved and carried forward through Tim Nicholls, who maintained the material exactly as it was taught, without modification or reinterpretation.

This opening episode establishes the foundation for everything that follows:

• Who Count Yogi was

• What he observed about the game of golf

• What he taught, and what he did not

• How his work was preserved and passed on
