The Golf Swing Versus Technology
What David says about clubs and balls holds true, however sad that could be. Manufacturers and retailers will have us believe that we CAN buy a better game. We almost certainly can, within reason.

Technology has allowed manufacturers to produce more forgiving clubs and balls that travel further. The argument can be made that it'll make the game more fun, attract more people and all the rest of it.

The result that distance has on courses and tournaments is really a topic we may tackle at a later stage. We all know (and the manufactures do too) that distance sells.

Retailers (and manufactures, for example) can contribute with proper club fitting. Gone are the old days when the boys purchased individual clubs from various sources. Matching sets was unusual. Computerized check here permits differences in build, swing speed and degree of skill.

With hybrid clubs, and sets, the death of the long iron was inevitable. When last did you see anybody swing a 1-iron?

It is noticeable that the professional golfers lean more towards so-called amateur equipment whereas the ammies back many years ago yearned for a couple of traditional forged blades. (I'm still a sucker for all those things!)

The bottom line is that if you cannot swing a club half-decently, and, as Mr. Nicklaus puts it, propel the ball in a predominantly forward fashion, it may be a good idea to take up whatever else but golf.

I am a company believer of proper ball striking. If you cannot speak to the ball first, particularly with irons and hybrids, you will never control the ball, and that is what this game is about!

As much as technology permits forgiveness on mishit shots, and compensates for not-so-pure ball striking, the fact remains a fairly decent swing, predicated on basic principles, will enhance your scores, enjoyment and, yes, all the rest of it. It will hold up under great pressure.

An excellent, solid swing should not be recognised incorrectly as a nice-looking swing. We have different physical attributes and natural abilities. The mere physics of the dictates that swings will change from person to person.

Gary Player said many very clever things. One is that when it works, use it. That, to me, means that how my swing looks may be flattering, but it may be the score that counts.

If you look at the truly fluent swings out there, Ernie Els and Vijay Singh, and compare that to Lee Trevino and Arnold Palmer (with all due respect), whose swing can you rather copy?

Yet at impact all of them are the same: head behind the ball, hips out of the way, weight on the left foot. Good, solid fundamentals can't ever be replaced!

I have to impress on all golfers out there, current and aspiring, the proper use of the driving range. Just a couple ideas:

Warm up properly
Check the fundamentals: grip, stance, posture, alignment, ball position
Focus on something specific as opposed to getting maximum distance from your driver
You cannot see yourself swing, so get help, a friend, video camera

If you are sincere about, get yourself a forged blade 6-iron and an old persimmon driver. If you can hit a golf ball consistently with those two, you can hit anything!

It might take a little more than a simple golf swing to reduce my scores, but I am still a devoted follower of this weird game!

Thank you for bearing with me. This is my first effort - I will try again!
