ANYONE CAN PLAY GOLF...........a one
minute lesson...follow it and you will shoot par, guaranteed!!!!!!!!
-Once a player has mastered the grip and stance, all he has to bear in mind,
in the brief two-second interval it takes to swing, is to keep his left
elbow pointed in toward the left hip and his right arm loose and closer to
the body than the left and take the club head past his right knee and then
break the wrists at just the right instant while the left arm is still
traveling straight back from the ball and the right arm stays glued to the
body and the hips come around in a perfect circle and, meanwhile, everything
is mucked up unless the weight is 60 percent on the left foot and 40 percent
on the right not an ounce more or less, and at just the right point in the
turn the left knee bends in toward the right in a dragging motion until the
left heel comes off the ground...but not too far...and be sure the hands are
over the right foot but not on the toe more than the heel except that the
left side of the right foot is tilted off the ground...but not too far...and
be sure the hands at the top of the swing are high and the shaft points
along a line parallel with the ground, and if it is a downhill lie the shaft
is supposed to be pointed downhill too and pause at the top of the swing and
count one, jerk the left arm straight down like a bell ringer yanking a
belfry rope and don't uncock the wrists too soon and pull the left hip
around in a circle but don't let the shoulders turn with the hips, they have
to be facing the hole, and now transfer the weight 60 percent to the left
foot and 40 percent to the right, not an ounce more or less, and tilt the
left foot now so the right side of it is straight...that's the one you hit
against...and watch out for the left hand, it's supposed to be extended but
not too stiff or the shot won't go anywhere, and don't let it get loose or
you will hook and let the wrists uncock but don't force them or you'll
smother the shot and don't break too soon but keep your head down, your eye
on the ball, then hit the ball.
THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT !!
