Given this, it is no wonder that many recreational players decide to live with an imperfect game. Yet, even beginners have to struggle. They, too, have to work hard over time to establish a solid game. One of the things that compelled me to begin this column is the fact that I learned that there are faster and easier ways to establish or improve a game. But,even these, require time .
Quick fixes are usually just that.
They fix quickly, and just as quickly, they fade in their benefits. It is like playing with a different racquet. When we pick up a new racquet and begin to play, we frequently believe that it is the miracle racquet that we have been praying for. All of our strokes seem to improve immediately and profoundly. Yet, in a week or two, we find that we are still making the same errors and losing to the same players.
