Look at the wonderful body turns you'll see. Marvel at the fluidity and balance of these swings. Look how the clubhead comes out in front of the player at the completion of a full follow through. Concentrate on the work around the greens. Golf is a game of targets.
Golf is a game of precision.
Golf is not a game of distance. If you are a player who feels primarily dominated by power and distance promise yourself that at least six times this year you'll go to the golf course and play a round where you throttle back. Select the club you think is correct for the shot and then use a swing that you feel will get the ball to go, say, three-quarters of the distance you would normally try for. If this doesn't sit too comfortably with you then try taking one extra club - you know you've given yourself more than enough club to reach the target so now you can swing smoothly and concentrate on hitting the ball with a nice, smooth, precise strike. Bet you'll be surprised at how often you get the ball on target.
