It was already dark when I finished my last lesson tonight -- under the lights -- at the Marietta Golf Center. As I walked to my car, I saw a guy hitting ball after ball dead right and with a big left-to-right curve. It wasn't the first time I had witnessed these futile efforts, and I couldn't help myself . . .
I walked over and asked him if he had ever hit a draw. He said no. I told him I was about to change his life.
In twenty minutes, I adjusted his ball position and his address hands location. I unfroze his right hip and got his left foot and knee into action. All this allowed him to swing to top in a beautiful, classic alignment. This done, I taught him how to use his left hand through impact, i.e., how to rotate the shaft around the sweetspot.
Results?
Long, strong draw shots and tears in the eyes of a 52-year-old man who never thought he would or even could see such things.
So,
Jeff, you talk to me of "relevance", and I talk to you of joy.
