New Golf Swing Page

Posted in January 31st, 2008

golf swing at sunset Like everyone else, I’m still learning the golf swing. In the pursuit of learning (and learning aids), I’ve just added a golf swing page to this blog website. It’s best feature (at least so far) is a video of Ben Hogan giving an excellent golf swing tip. Please click here to check out our new golf swing page and please let me know what you think.

From my own experience it is not easy to learn a proper golf swing from a book. A video (as you have put up) is a bit easier, but nothing beats a lesson by a good teaching pro.

Good point, Frank and thanks for commenting.

Furthermore, I think that different people learn in different ways. No argument about the 1-on-1 feedback of a lesson with a good pro; but there’s also thinking about it. I even heard Tiger talk about integrating swing lessons mentally during the off season. And there’s practice, right?

Bottom line, I think it’s all good and every moment and every individual is different. Whatever works. No “one size fits all” and most of all “no magic bullet.”
