Quite simply there are many golf books out there by golf guru’s, and professional golfers. They tell us how to play golf like the professionals, They tell us it’s a game of the mind.Then there’s the correct swing, or the correct stance. I have heard the suggestion, that you should hold a towel wedged between each arm and your sides and as you swing the club, the towels should remain in that position... Don’t get me wrong, there are great books out there, with loads of information but, to be honest, when I took up golf I just wanted to hit the ball! I just wanted to get it up in the air! I just wanted to look like a golfer and not a hacker! I just wanted to want to play again!
IN ANY 18 HOLES, I CAN HIT A TRUE PROFESSIONAL GOLF SHOT, WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF HITTING 1 PROFESSIONAL GOLFSHOT IN AROUND OF GOLF,AND IT’S THIS ONE SHOT THAT HAS ME COMING BACK FOR MORE.
Remember you’re out to enjoy yourself, It’s not meant to be work, so relax, enjoy your friends company and try to play your owngame rather than other peoples. Don’t be daunted,It’s not rocket science, It’s simply “SIMPLE” instructions with pictures to show you how to play golf, and littletricks to improve your all round game. There may be some of you who buy this book,who can already hit the ball, but want to improve in certain areas of your game, well thiscan be of benefit to you too.
My best way of describing to you my golf stance, is to imagine [boys] that you arestanding in the gents relieving your self,I stand well balanced, feet apart, my back fairly straight, [relaxed, not rigid], basically I like to be in control, cause we all know what happens if we’re not.Stand tall, shoulders up, ladies, to understand this, please consult with your b/f, brother,etc., I’m sure he’d be happy to instruct you.
Literally, continuing in the above position, imagine the club is an extension of your manhood, and hold the club so, as per the diagram above,At all times, remember who the boss is, and remain in control,
Arnold Palmer, related how you hold the club, to holding a small bird in your cupped hands,
If you hold it too tightly, you’ll squeeze it to death,
If you hold it too loosely, it’ll fly away,
Find that halfway, not too tight, but also not to lose.
PLEASE NOTE:
IF YOU HOLD THE CLUB TOO TIGHT, THEN ALL YOUR MUSCLES IN YOUR ARMS AND BACK WILL TIGHTEN UP, AND IN TURN YOU WONT BE ABLE TO SWING, WHICH IN TURN CAN LEAD TO BACK TROUBLE.
