 News flash for you! If you have been in a coma or have spent the last half century on Neptune, you should know that the golf industry is now a multibillion dollar a year business. What did we know? Somewhere down the line someone supports, funds, feeds or makes possible the growth and maintenance of such a insatiable glutton. How did IT get so humungous? Sit here on the Anti-Pro's knee and lets toss some ideas around in our cranius.
This hungry monster needs a lot of food (money). The dope addict needs
a fix. Somewhere there is a need. And, in the golf industry, that need
is cleverly disguised as confusion. Confuse the golfer and he will be
back for more. He doesn't want anyone to think he is stupid or no
talent, so he will convince himself that maybe he just didn't get it
the first time, or second, or...?
A reader sends along this interesting observation: "My experience has
been that the overwhelming majority, 85-plus percent unduly complicate
the golf swing. I have spent thousands of dollars to come to this
conclusion. I often wonder if it is a deliberate attempt to keep one in
golfing no-mans land." Thanks, Chip!
Has the beast made a puppet out of us? Send the golfer a new golf magazine
and watch him tear into it to find the "latest golf tips." Try it. Doesn't
work? No problem, they will send you another next month that will give
you just the opposite advice. The golf pro can't tell you the golf
swing is simple. He could explain it ALL in one lesson, but if he did
and
IF the golf magazine didn't have new "bogus"tips and the book writers
didn't have a batch of golfer wanabees drooling at the thought of
getting better.....They would all die an
excruciating death from starvation. They CAN"T tell the truth...It would be Suicide.
AND that $500 golf driver? If your swing STINKS, it will NOT make any
difference. It looks pretty goofy to stand up on the first tee with a
$500 club and slice it into a subdivision.
Lets build the golf swing around this premise. A 3,4,5 year old watches
a good golf swing, copies it and has a beautiful swing. No hi-tech, no
books, no freeze frame analysis, no series of golf lessons. Watch Daddy
walk....walk. Watch Mommy walk....walk. This is an A....write an
A....this is a B.
There are thousands of languages here on Earth and the part of the
brain that runs motor skills (your golf swing) does not understand one
of them! If you continue to swallow the grub the golf industry is
dishing out, get real comfy and enjoy your stay in................
.......No Man's Land!
