11 Nov Smash the ball for competition success

Posted at 10:47h in Golf Tip by

Golf teaching has become a lot more technical since I started out, which I personally believe is okay for older players trying to get more consistency in their games but not for juniors. I like to use the strategy of just letting them swing as hard as possible initially, and not worrying too much as to where the ball goes.

There are reasons for this way of thinking — the first two are that kids love to swing as hard as possible and when doing this, important muscles are built up. The third and fourth reasons are that the game of golf has changed, in that distance, once a golfer learns to control it, is a massive advantage when s/he is playing a long course. It’s easier to learn to control power once you’ve developed it than it is to develop power once you’ve learned control.

In my experience, young golfers who have started out by smashing the ball with all their power and who then learn to keep it straight later are the ones who have managed tournament success — hardly ever, the other way around.

Out of Bounds: Here’s more useless things to calm you down after your next third putt!

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a racing car not called a racist?

Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites? Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?
