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.
