Swing golfer golfer swing, swing golfer golfer swing….. ”Ha Ha” I said to my brother who was at this moment taunting my looming +100’s score and we are only on the 16th hole. I could just not get into a rhythm that day.
Strange thing is, the only day I remember getting into a great rhythm, and playing a great round of golf was in the pouring rain. Is that odd? Jeebers
So any way the course kills me this day, and my brother plays a low 80’s round. I figure hes been playing a lot, so he deserves to have a better score then me. Then my mind starts to playing games on me. WTF I am 10 times the athlete then him, I have beat him at anything athletic anytime. So you know whats next, I had to ask….
“Ok Bro, what gives why you playing such a good round of golf”? Answer : ” I made my golf swing more natural” so my retort really, whats that got to do with it? Reply “dude even Tiger has a coach”
The stunning logic of it all, I was aghast, taken back to my tyro football days when all we had to teach us football was retired do good wannabe athletes. Then the questions start to pop up into my head. ”Where did you get a coach bro?” my brother says “I tried to pay for lessons with the local pro, he was ok, but I needed to practice all the time and he was not around so I taped my golf swing lessons with him and practiced my nuts off” .
Of course this is not what I wanted to hear, I wanted the little green pill, take and shake, call me in the morning and my round of golf will be kicking. Not “work my nuts off”, the 4 letter word that stops most from being a good to great golfer.
So we will start to examine what it takes to get from suck wanna be to good and shooting par(which is easy) to I can play with some of the best of em.
