If you really want to get
better at golf, go back and take it up
at a much earlier age. |
2 |
The game of golf is 90%
mental and 10% mental. |
3 |
Since bad shots come in
groups of three, a fourth bad shot is
actually the beginning of the next group
of three. |
4 |
When you look up, causing
an awful shot, you will always look down
again at exactly the moment when you ought
to start watching the ball if you ever
want to see it again. |
5 |
Any change works for a maximum
of three holes - - or at a minimum of
not at all. |
6 |
No matter how bad you are
playing, it is always possible to play
worse. |
7 |
Never try to keep more than
300 separate thoughts in your mind during
your swing. |
8 |
When your shot has to carry
over a water hazard, you can either hit
one more club or two more balls. |
9 |
If you're afraid a full
shot might reach the green while the foursome
ahead of you is still putting out, you
have two options: you can immediately
shank a lay-up, or you can wait until
the green is clear and top a ball halfway
there. |
10 |
The less skilled the player,
the more likely he is to share his ideas
about the golf swing. |
11 |
The inevitable result of
any golf lesson is the instant elimination
of the one critical unconscious motion
that allowed you to compensate for all
of your many other errors. |
12 |
If it ain't broke, try changing
your grip. |
13 |
Golfers who claim they don't
cheat, also lie. |
14 |
Everyone replaces his divot
after a perfect approach shot. |
15 |
A golf match is a test of
your skill against your opponent's luck. |
16 |
It's surprisingly easy to
hole a 50-foot putt when you lie 8. |
17 |
Counting on your opponent
to inform you when he breaks a rule is
like expecting him to make fun of his
own haircut. |
18 |
Nonchalant putts count the
same as chalant putts. |
19 |
It's not a gimme if you're
still away. |
20 |
The shortest distance between
any two points on a golf course is a straight
line that passes directly through the
center of a very large tree. |
21 |
There are two kinds of bounces:
unfair bounces, and bounces just the way
you meant to play it. |
22 |
You can hit a 2-acre fairway
10% of the time, and a 2-inch branch 90%
of the time. |
23 |
Every time a golfer makes
a birdie, he must subsequently make two
triple bogeys to restore the fundamental
equilibrium of the universe. |
24 |
If you want to hit a 7-iron
as far as Tiger Woods does, simply try
to lay up just short of a water hazard. |
25 |
To calculate the speed of
a player's downswing, multiply the speed
of his backswing by his handicap. Example:
backswing 20 mph, handicap 15, downswing
300mph. |
26 |
There are two things you
can learn by stopping your backswing at
the top and checking the position of your
hands: how many hands you have, and which
one is wearing the glove. |
27 |
Hazards attract; fairways
repel. |
28 |
You can put "draw" on the
ball, you can put "fade" on the ball,
but no golfer can put "straight" on the
ball. |
29 |
A ball you can see in the
rough from 50 yards away is not yours. |
30 |
If there is a ball in the
fringe and a ball in the bunker, your
ball is in the bunker. |
31 |
If both balls are in the
bunker, yours is in the footprint. |
32 |
Don't buy a putter until
you've had a chance to throw it. |
