Don’t forget to hit the ball
Friend: I had a lesson the other day and it didn’t go so well. Me: What happened? Friend: There was a lot of talking and the Pro got me to do a number of things each time I hit the ball. Me (interrupting): How did all the instruction make you feel? Friend: Awkward. My mind…
[Part 4] Golf Mastery and other thoughts…
You can read the previous posts over here Back to the 15th hole and that long putt. I was inspired by Baddeley’s putting performance and the fact I was the guy who had showed him the technique that is now described as “look and shoot”. My philosophy is simple… … look at the hole, get…
It’s time to sacrifice a little …
Automatic golf simplifies the game. It takes the very complicated and gives you a way of making it easier and more enjoyable. More reliable too. With simplification comes sacrifice.
