I will start this next blog by asking some great age old questions.

 

 

The answer to question one is, there is no answer as it usually degrades into a philosophical debate where everyone claims they are right. However the question still remains.

 

The answer to question two is really irrelevant but it may have something in common to question three which is the one we are hopefully still interested in after this ramble into the world of academia. I think I am correct in saying that the egg/chicken scenario evolved over thousands, maybe millions of years into the form we recognise today. It may interest you to know the golf swing has also evolved over the centuries and is still evolving even today. When we talk of evolving, I interpret that to mean adapting, but adapting to what?

 

I think it’s safe to say the club was first on the scene and the swing in hot pursuit. The better players over the centuries are the ones who have adapted and developed a swing that suits the design of the golf club where as the lesser able players over the centuries have tried to adapt the golf club to suit their misplaced and incorrect ideas.

 

So many times do coaches see players investing £300 in a new driver only to witness the player then throw himself at the ball. If they had a better grasp of the technique, they would hit a second-hand 20-year-old bit of kit just as well.The golf club is a weird strange contraption and requires a unique technique to get it to work to its best potential.

 

The more you understand the club the more chance you have of finding that unique swing – the textbook swing in other words.
