The golden nugget

[MadAdey]

I constantly read all the advice under gods sun on here about how you should swing a golf club from things like take it back slower to weaken your grip etc etc. Well none of this is much use if you do not know a persons swing and I think will only confuse beginners and high handicappers. If you saw a video of me swinging without the ball I would get all sorts of advice on how to change my swing (believe me it is not pretty). My setup and grip is spot on, but I have a back swing like Jim Furyk, but this just feels natural to me and my god can I hit it long and straight hense having a low handicap.

So without giving swing tips what would be your little golden nugget of advice to people on improving their score card? Let me start off with this:

Choose what club you are gonna hit to the green. Now put it back in the bag and take one more and hit it with a nice controlled smooth swing. I see people constantly coming up short or worse missing the green right and left because they have thrashed at the ball from having the wrong club in their hand. Get the right club out and hit the green, it is not about the person who can hit the shortest club to the green. But the person who actually hits the green.

So what little bit of advice do you have for people to help them shoot lower scores.

Dont count the tap ins on your card is what he means I think

Don't rush your swing, the ball isn't going anywhere till you hit it.

Yeah baby.... Grip it and rip it. Or turn your hip and let it rip!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really the thread I was trying to start though. But hey if you can't play golf at least look like you can on the range and make the ball collector have to go outside the wire.

Its not how you swing! But how you strike the ball. The ball could not care less how you swing. But if you can get a good consistant strike. The little white thing will fly.

The one thing that stuck with me was a quote in a mag (maybe GM) rather than in the tip section.

Was an interview with Tom Watson and he said "don't hit it hard, hit it well". Similar to what you are talking about and that's pretty much all I think about before hitting a shot. I used to try and hit everything as far as I possibly could with the traditional dire outcomes!
