Let me ask you a question. If you could go buy a driver somewhere that was guaranteed to hit the ball 300 yards dead center of the fairway every time you swung it would you buy it? . Let's say you went out bought and then played with your new driver and it did just exactly what was promised, 300 yards dead center every time. Well, next week all your buddies would have purchased the same driver and you all now hit the ball 300 yards dead center every time. I bet that after awhile you would all become bored with driving the ball and eventually you would just walk out 300 yards and play your 2nd shots from there. This analogy or scenario is at the heart of golf. YOU CANNOT BUY A GOLF GAME! you must earn it. It is the challenge to improve that brings us back. It may be the last place on earth where success or lack of it is entirely dependent upon the individual and the effort he or she is willing to spend.
Every golfer can improve regardless of their present level of play. Even me who has been playing this game for 59 years a few of those at a pretty high level still has areas that need improvement, far more of them than I would like to admit.
So if you can't buy a golf game you have to earn it. Part of earning it is learning it. That's where people like me come into the equation. Golf instructors don't do anything that can't be done by any other human being who is willing to learn the game, be a psychologist, a communicator with an understanding of the physics of the game and have infinite patience. In other words we do the things that you could do but you choose to have us do them so that you will still have time to do other things, like play the game. :-)
Next time I will introduce the Perfect Swing and what I mean by that.
Take care
