them. The basics of golf can be taught to anyone, it just takes a little time with a qualified instructor. If you are worried about what another golfer two fairways over, or down the range, is thinking about your golf swing, you won’t be able to improve, or enjoy the game. The absolute truth is that the other guy, or girl is just as worried about what you are thinking about their ability, or lack thereof, to be concerned about what you are doing. Just concentrate on your swing and don’t worry about the other guy. 2. Don’t quit when the going gets tough Golf is not an easy game to learn. Even women, who were athletes in high school, experience difficulty learning the correct swing andmastering the ability toconsistently get the ball airborne. Grip, Stance, Ball Position, Posture and Alignment are the five basic keys to achieving a successful golf swing. I have found over the years, that if a student can focus and master these five simple basics, the game gets much easier. Every golfer alive has topped, sliced, chopped and whiffed shots. I have played the game for well over 50 years and my wife will confirm that I still occasionally top a shot or chunk a chip shot. It Happens. Get over it. The point is, don’t quit at the first sign of adversity. Golf, like life, is about the next shot. You have to forget about the last shot and focus entirely on the next one. Golf is the greatest game ever created by man. It is played outdoors on a beautifully manicured landscape. It provides excellent physical exercise, as well as a fun social experience, when you relax and enjoy it. Playing a round of golf with friends and having lunch at the 19th hole, makes for a perfect day. Don’t be afraid to GET OUT THERE and PLAY GOLF!
