SO? If not you, who's to blame? Some
of it goes to golf club manufacturers and MOST of it goes to golf "instructors."
Golf club manufacturers
advertise their products in a way that they hope will lead you to believe that it's the golf clubs that make a difference.
While there are some significant differences in golf clubs, THAT DOESN'T MATTER!
You can hit really good, or really bad shots with ANY of them!
I assure you, almost all golf club manufacturers
make perfectly acceptable equipment. There is only so much that can be done with club design. There are limits
as to size and "technical" aspects such as "the spring-like effect" of the club face.
The only real difference in
golf clubs that's going to matter to you, is if they FIT you!
The chances of "off the rack" golf
clubs being ideally fit to you are VERY SLIM to ABSOLUTELY NONE!
While you would never buy an $800.00 suit without
making sure it fit you correctly, golfers routinely spend that much money for a set of golf clubs that have almost ZERO chance
of being their "size."
By that, I simply mean shaft length, shaft flex, grip size and lie angles. There is NO SUCH THING as "standard" golf clubs, simply because there is no such thing as a "standard"
golfer!
Every human being is different! We are different heights. Even golfers of the SAME height have
different length arms, different size hands, different ways of holding the golf club at address, so "one size fits all"
is IMPOSSIBLE concerning golf equipment.
The good news is that ALL clubs can be adjusted.
Grips can be changed, lie angles can be adjusted. So, I'm not suggesting that you DON'T buy "name brand"
golf clubs.
What I'm telling you is that there's almost a 100% chance those clubs will need adjusting to
fit YOU, the ONLY golfer you're concerned with!
The fact of the matter
is, if golf club "technology" was "THE ANSWER," then everyone who could afford the clubs would be a great
player and that's simply NOT THE CASE!
Golf clubs, ALL golf clubs, are ONLY AS EFFECTIVE
AS THE PERSON SWINGING THEM!
As for golf "instructors," they undoubtedly "mean well," but most do more
HARM than GOOD! Why? Because in order to make a living, they need you to take "lessons."
They
need you to buy their "training aids." They need you to buy their "books." They need you to
buy their "6-DVD sets" and the more-the better. FOR THEM!
So, this leads me to the conclusion that
it greatly benefits golf "teachers" to keep you thinking that the golf swing is some GREAT MYSTERY that you need
years of their "help" to understand!
The FACT is that the golf swing is EXTREMELY SIMPLE! Something ANYONE
can do with "minimal" instruction!
What I am offering you is THE TRUTH! Not "the truth"
that requires 3 DVD's to explain to you how to square your clubface! You INSTINCTIVELY KNOW HOW TO DO THAT!
You DON'T NEED HELP WITH THAT!
What you DO need help with, is cutting through all the GARBAGE and UNDERSTANDING HOW EASY THIS
REALLY IS AND CAN BE!
You DO NOT need all that OTHER STUFF!
