Worst swing related advice you've ever heard someone say?

Prompted by a school golf team coach uttering some of the most unbelievable stupidity i've ever heard.
1. the golf swing is not like a baseball swing - apparently the kid was a baseball player
2. rotate your wrists to hit a draw
3. both arms should be fully extended when you contact the ball
dude was seriously fricking these kids up

You think this is wrong though?

yes. the golf swing is literally an inclined baseball swing. exactly the same fundamentals.

right arm doesn't fully extend until after contact.

You can't reduce the complexities of a golf swing down to being "literally an inclined baseball swing."
That's like saying it's the same as chopping firewood with an ax.

Kind of a derail but I always told my kids when they were small only one thing. I heard it from Tiger Woods and he said when he was little his dad would just tell him swing as hard as you can without moving your feet. If your feet move its too hard. Other than that swing hard as you can.
Only thing I ever told my kids. They all beat me now.

Not necessarily wrong. You can definitely hit a fade or a draw by manipulating your hands at impact.

Pretend there is a pole from the ground running up your arse...

sure it's possible, but completely unreliable and un timeable.

Maybe not swing-related, but Bill Murray once suggested I hit a 5-iron from about 350 yards....
