needs shots golfers
A golfer rarely needs to hit a spectacular shot until the one that preceded it was pretty bad.
consists few life matters minor
Life consists of a lot of minor annoyances and a few matters of real consequence.
basketball moving golf
I compare the pressure of a golf shot with making an extra point in basketball. The player starts from a full stop, and that rim doesn't move.
golf trying shots
Never try a shot you haven't practised.
believe golf swings
I see things written about the golf swing that I can't believe will work except by accident .
golf
A good putter is a match for anyone. A bad putter is a match for no one.
children heart practice
Make a game out of practice, you're still a child at heart
golf practice lessons
Lessons are not to take the place of practice, but to make practice worthwhile.
girl golf men
A pretty girl will always have the toughest time learning to play golf, because every man wants to give her lessons.
golf player games
In my opinion, no young player can develop his or her game to its highest potential if he or she rides around the course in a golf cart.
golf winning brave
Be brave if you lose and meek if you win.
mistake play one-day
If you play poorly one day, forget it. If you play poorly the next time out, review your fundamentals of grip, stance, aim and ball position. Most mistakes are made before the club is swung. If you play poorly for a third time in a row, go see your professional.
thinking swings one-day
You don't lose your swing between the ninth green and the tenth tee, and you don't lose your swing from one day to the next. If you think you do, something is going on that you don't understand. A diary might help explain it to you.
golf play matter
No matter how poorly you play, there is always someone you can beat. No matter how well you play, there is always someone who can beat you.
