The ball is a tyrant which demands perfection but causes us to manufacture all kinds of Snares. If we could all swing as if it were a dandelion instead of a ball golf would be easy. Therein lies the trick. The grass whips secret. What Lynn teaches if you ever get a lesson from him.
I believe Lynns first go round of teaching included many a winter hotel ball room session. Some net time but often not. One of his students came in a mid range single digit handicap golfer and emerged to win his city am as I recall. Lots of 12-3 work I bet.
I've almost made our garden keeper obsolete for the last year. I I cut the grass with a sand wedge all the time. If you know precisely what you want to achieve it's a great way of rehearsing new moves. But I need some grass to clip to make it work for me.
And even after 20 years of golf I still get ball-struck from time to time. One way to get out of it for me is then to make a few swings without a ball.
