Golf is in big trouble ….
I spent 3 hours at the Australian Masters yesterday. I don’t typically go to the golf, would rather watch it on TV or better still, go play myself. But because the event is being played at Metropolitan (I’m still a member there) I thought I’d drop in and check out the course (the course presentation…
“But the golf swing isn’t a natural move”
Yes, but learning is natural. And being told to hold the club exactly like this, swinging on this plane, cocking your wrists and rotating like that goes against our instincts.
