In medieval times there was a desire
to turn lead into
Gold
.
Despite best
efforts, this quest ended in despair.
The same can be said for many a
golfer’s dream of having a swing
‘Pure
as Gold.’
What normally occurs,
however, more closely resembles a
lead balloon.
Don’t despair, there are shortcuts in
this mystical process!
Being somewhat of a slow learner,
it only took me 30 years as a high
handicapper before I discovered that
a smooth swing path, a stable and
quiet lower body, in addition to the
concept that less is best, will produce
a consistent and
Golden
ball flight.
My son learned these lessons after
only a few years of playing. So why
does his magic work better or faster?
The answer is simple – he met with a
qualified alchemist, by that I mean, a
professional golf instructor.
If you enjoy golfing, but desire to shave
ten to twenty strokes off your game (I
dropped 18 strokes one summer by
making a single and simple swing
change), then see a pro. The money
spent will come back to you in piles
of
Gold
through a more relaxed
and enjoyable game, maybe even in
winnings from your friends.
Unfortunately, while the instructional
articles in golfing magazines are
accurate, they are very difficult to
understand and implement for the
average golfer.
With coaching, you can turn lead into
Gold.
And as the saying goes,
the
sooner the better.
Take some lessons
now, before the season gets into full
swing. The extra time will be helpful
to ingrain any new swing or train
your muscles to move in a different
direction.
Don’t forget about the rules and
etiquette of the game!
Most golfers don’t have this alchemist’s
secret to enhance the value of your
game. Knowing the rules and etiquette
can turn you into a
Golden
playing
partner or guest. If you don’t want
to spend a week at a certified USGA
rules’ school, and don’t want to pick
up the little white book and decipher
the legalese, try the humorous yet
education book series,
