Designing the Perfect Swing

Posted April 19, 2012 8:26 AM

Golf is a game where people will take any edge they can get. Just ask the golfers competing for a certain green jacket in Augusta, GA, recently.

Better yardage, less slice, anything to turn bogeys into birdies.

I agree that a set of fitted clubs will help an average golfers game.

BUT, the MOST IMPORTANT thing a new, or struggling, golfer can do to improve their game is to TAKE LESSONS from a gold professional.

Then you'll need to work on the space between the ears to give yourself the SAME SWING EVERY TIME.

I misinterpreted the title.

I once used two 30' pieces of rope and a redwood board to make a swing, but it was too hard to get going. I thought someone had come up with the prefect length. Maybe next thread.

I thought the same thing. Something for the kids, but big enough for me too. The perfect swing!

The best thing I did for my golf game is take up curling instead.
