golf practice lessons
Lessons are not to take the place of practice, but to make practice worthwhile.
consists few life matters minor
Life consists of a lot of minor annoyances and a few matters of real consequence.
basketball moving golf
I compare the pressure of a golf shot with making an extra point in basketball. The player starts from a full stop, and that rim doesn't move.
golf trying shots
Never try a shot you haven't practised.
golf
A good putter is a match for anyone. A bad putter is a match for no one.
children heart practice
Make a game out of practice, you're still a child at heart
needs shots golfers
A golfer rarely needs to hit a spectacular shot until the one that preceded it was pretty bad.
golf player games
In my opinion, no young player can develop his or her game to its highest potential if he or she rides around the course in a golf cart.
golf winning brave
Be brave if you lose and meek if you win.
mistake play one-day
If you play poorly one day, forget it. If you play poorly the next time out, review your fundamentals of grip, stance, aim and ball position. Most mistakes are made before the club is swung. If you play poorly for a third time in a row, go see your professional.
golf play matter
No matter how poorly you play, there is always someone you can beat. No matter how well you play, there is always someone who can beat you.
mistake looks look-up
Looking up is the biggest alibi ever invented to explain a terrible shot. By the time you look up, you've already made the mistake.
golf people psychiatrist
Golf has probably kept more people sane than psychiatrists have.
golf player meditation
All seasoned players know, or at least have felt, that when you are playing your best, you are much the same as in a state of meditation. You are free of tension and chatter. You are concentrating on one thing. It is the ideal condition for good golf.
