MOST MEMORABLE GOLF ROUND : This has to be a tie between my career low round of 63 at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge which included 10 birdies, and the day I had a putt to shoot 9 under par on the back 9 from the professional tee’s at a course called Penina in Portugal. I three putted and shot 7 under on the back side!!! Can’t seem to let that one go!!
BEST ADVICE I RECEIVED : Learn to Play with your Heart! Not with your Head…………..
BEST ADVICE I WOULD GIVE : “It takes only one great shot to make par”…….. Walter Hagen
THE GOLF SWING IS … an Evolution …
OPEN CHAT : double pendulum, kinetic energy, pressure points, power pack, lever systems, sympathetic nervous system, lag/drag, wrecking ball, extension/flexion, external rotation, pre- stress shaft… etc… etc… etc….
Does anyone understand this??? It’s my job too understand this…
However, my feeling is that teaching is getting so complicated and instructors are trying to sound like scientists or physics experts. It’s getting really confusing… My advice is to find an instructor who keeps it “SIMPLE” has a fitness background, and focuses on the ball flight, impact, short game and scoring!!!! This will be the easiest way for you to improve!
