Chapter Two: The Styles |

This chapter is all about how to incorporate the Elements. You might ask, "Well why don't you just do Drills #1, #2, and #3 in order?" Well you could, but I find that my timing and feel is better if I do the Elements more or less simultaneously. (Most good players I have seen do, although someone like Nancy Lopez has 4 distinct moves. Does she get the Elements in? You bet she does!) Remember the drills are to teach you in a step by step progression what those things (Elements) are that need to be present in an effective golf swing. The Drills are also a fail-safe checkpoint system so that when things aren't working as well as they should, well you can recognize what is amiss and correct it, by reviewing and doing the Drills. By the way, I would suggest you finish reading this entire section before trying a specific style. Start the swing; please; today; now for Pete's, or whoevers' sake! We all at one time or another have frozen to some degree over a ball. Why? One reason and one reason only! Uncertainty. Now many things can cause this. That the ball is small, round, white, and immobile is actually (many feel) responsible for a hypnotic fear in golfers. Imagine a golf ball being at cause enough to control a being. I just can't give that much credit to a golf ball, no matter how much I revere the sphere which we play this glorious game with. None-the-less, many weird things can occur between the setup procedure and the swing; at which point it may cease to be a swing anymore. (By the way we'll get to the setup and routine later. You've already learned it pretty much in Drill #1.)
