Nowhere in recorded history is there witness to a baby’s first words being, "Give me a cigarette and a shot of whiskey." Mini humans are not born with these vices. They are acquired. But, heck, you knew that. Let's assume that
babe adds a few years to his/her life and bumps into
game of golf. The stars and planets are in
correct alignment and Sam Snead becomes his golfing bud. Everyday they play golf. The "babe" watches Sam's sweet swing. Sam offers no advice.
The young prodigy watches
master, notices
still head,
full backswing and follow through. Through osmosis,
rhythm, and
tempo of
swing become part of his swing. Soon, they are both "swinging to music."
On
other hand, let’s say
pup doesn't have this phenomenal happenstance and falls into
traps and pitfalls of other ways to "learn"
golf swing. He takes golf lessons, reads books, and devours golf magazine (and Internet) tips These methods address
thinking part of
brain,
cerebrum. Motor skills are not acquired with this part of
brain. In paragraph two above,
golf swing is learned
correct way. The swing is consistent, powerful, reliable, accurate, low maintenance, simple, and will last a life time.
In paragraph three above,
swing is contrived, complex, confusing, inconsistent, lacks power, and is never understood. The recipient is addicted to searching for
swing that
"lucky" kid owns. Those who have
"paragraph two" golf swing do not read golf tips and do not take golf lessons. Those who have acquired bad habits through
incorrect approach to finding
mysterious beautiful golf swing keep returning to
source of their bad habits. This, ladies and gentlemen, is
first sign of insanity. Are you starting to get it?
Scooooot up a little closer - so
Anti-Pros words don't fall on
floor before they reach your hammer, anvil, and stirrup...YOU ARE NOT BORN WITH BAD GOLF HABITS...YOU ACQUIRE THEM from some golf pros, bad advice, magazine golf tips, golf books, etc.
