Worst: Keep your head down, I found it pulls my eyes off the ball when turning my shoulders.
Best: Head up, look down my nose at the ball like a snobby golfer.:glasses-cool:
Best: some random dude at the driving range nicely mentioning that, with my consistent swing (and slice) I just need to bend my left wrist the opposite direction to stop slicing.
I was paired with this older gentleman years ago who, upon finding out I was new to the game, decided to educate me on the game. This was just one of many tidbits he shared that day.
Best: hmmmm... not sure. Perhaps I should consider fluffing my bad lies. It might qualify as both.
Best: hmm...tough. Sadly, I’m not sure I’ve ever received any great advise in golf. Only thing that comes to mind is that a pro once told me to practice “shots” (low left, center, right, mid left, center, right and high left, center, right) at the range and not to just hit the same shot over and over again.
Best: This game is hard, played by imperfect people on ever changing imperfect conditions with tools that are not optimized for the task at hand. It's not about hitting the perfect shot. It's about hitting a shot that gives you the best chance to make the next one easier for yourself.
I still fight the best advice one. Who wants to hit it 20-30ft away from the pin when you could just fire right at it like a boss?
Best: Just have fun. Technique will come later, right now just learn to have fun on the course. Definitely helps with my overly competitive nature.
Worst: You should never cut down a driver. When being handed a near 46" off the rack driver. Second fitting I ever had. First fitting my driver was cut down and asked about the same....
